ABC LEARNING: Aussie Bank Seizes Sports Venue on Mortgage Default
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia seized control of the Dome,
South Australia's home of basketball, after its owner, ABC
Learning Centre founder Eddy Grove, failed to pay mortgage, The
Sydney Morning Herald reports.

According to the report, a spokesman from CBA said Mr. Groves had
stopped paying the multimillion-dollar mortgage, forcing the bank
to take possession of the stadium.

Ferrier Hodgson was appointed as agent for the bank as mortgagee
in possession and is organizing the sales process, SMH says.

"We hope to be in a position to have it on the market shortly,"
Ferrier Hodgson partner, David Kidman was quoted by SMH as saying.

Mr. Groves acquired the stadium in 2006 as part of a rescue deal
that included the sale of the two Adelaide-based national
basketball teams to Mal Hemmerling, the report discloses.

GEOS INTERNATIONAL: Placed in Administration on AU$10-Mil. Debt
---------------------------------------------------------------
Eight English-language schools run by GEOS International Colleges
Oceania have been placed in voluntary administration, leaving
2,300 international students facing the prospect of losing their
places, smartcompany.com.au reports.

Justin Walsh and Adam Nikitins of Ernst & Young have been
appointed voluntary administrators to nine companies which operate
the eight schools located in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth,
Brisbane, Gold Coast and Cairns, smartcompany.com.au says.

Students and staff are owed more than $10 million in pre-paid fees
and entitlements, The Australian reports.

The Australian relates Mr. Justin Walsh said remaining funds "are
vastly insufficient to continue trading".

The Australian understands students, landlords and agents could be
owed about $10 million, while the entitlements of the nearly 400
staff also run into the millions.

According to smartcompany.com.au, the administrators said they
will now work with "the Federal Department of Education,
Employment and Workplace Relations and relevant state government
departments in relation to alternative arrangements for students."

"Government agencies will also be holding information meetings for
affected students in relation to consumer protection and
alternative arrangements from Wednesday this week."

win agreement on issues including the level of payouts given to
workers in the event of bankruptcy, according to Bloomberg.

ALLAHABAD BANK: Fitch Gives Positive Outlook; Affirms 'C/D' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has revised the Outlook on India's Allahabad Bank's
National Long Term Rating to Positive from Stable, and
simultaneously affirmed its National Long-term rating at
'AA(ind)', Individual rating at 'C/D', Support rating at '3' and
its INR5.2 billion Lower Tier 2 Bonds at 'AA(ind)'.

Over the last 12 to 24 months, AB has made structural improvements
which, in Fitch's opinion, have improved its ability in
negotiating potential asset quality deterioration.  Also,
strengthening balance sheet, reduction in income volatility and
preserving equity have gained higher importance in the bank's
overall strategy.

Fitch notes that AB has strengthened its loan loss coverage ratio,
reduced market risk on its investment portfolio, albeit from a
higher level, and lowered its reliance on wholesale deposits.  The
bank's technology, which has lagged peer government banks, is also
being upgraded and the core banking software covered 82% of the
bank's business in December 2009.  While these developments are
positive for AB's credit profile, in the agency's opinion, AB
needs to further strengthen its balance sheet and improve quality
of earnings for its credit profile to be commensurate with peers
rated 'AA+(ind)' on the national rating scale.

The extent and quality of AB's restructured loans (H110: 4.5% of
loans; system average 4.4%) are in line with peer government
banks.  NPL accrual in FY10 could be slower than in FY09 but
credit cost is expected to increase, especially in FY11 when the
majority of restructured loans fall due.  Consistently high
inflation has triggered some liquidity tightening by the regulator
in January 2010, but it may not lead to a commensurate increase in
the bank lending rate as demand for credit remains low.  Fitch
however expects AB's net interest margin to widen slightly in the
near term due to downward repricing of deposit rates till H111.
AB made significant treasury gains in H110; treasury gains have
declined since then due to hardening of bond yields and Fitch
expects the trend to continue in the near term.  Overall, Fitch
expects lower profitability in FY10 and FY11 (as measured by ROA;
9M10: 1.29%), led by an increase in credit cost.

AB's loan growth has generally been in line with the banking
system, and it does not plan aggressive gains in market share of
loans.  Also the bank's plans to continue conservative dividend
payout would help preserve equity.  Fitch expects the bank's
current level of capital to be adequate to fund business growth in
the medium-term.

AB is 55%-owned by the Government of India.  It traditionally
operated in central and eastern India (over 25% of loans), though
in recent years has increased its focus on northern and western
India.


ARASKA DIAMOND: CRISIL Rates INR35 Mil. Packing Credit at 'P4'
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'P4' to the bank loan facilities
of Araska Diamond Pvt Ltd, which is part of the DSM group. The
rating reflects the DSM group's stretched financial risk profile,
marked by build-up in the receivables, high gearing levels, and
weak debt protection measures.  These weaknesses are partially
offset by the benefits that the group derives from the experience
of its promoters in the diamond jewellery business.

   Facilities                              Ratings
   ----------                              -------
   INR65.0 Million Post Shipment Credit    P4 (Assigned)
   INR35.0 Million Packing Credit          P4 (Assigned)

For arriving at its rating, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of ADPL and Pretty Jewellery Pvt Ltd.
This is because ADPL and PJPL (together referred to as the DSM
group) have common management team, are in the same line of
business and have operational and financial linkages.

Set up in 1976 by Mr. Shailesh Mehta, the DSM group commenced
operations under S R Diamonds, a proprietorship firm engaged in
the export of polished diamonds, which was taken over by ADPL in
2008-09.  The group polishes and trades in diamonds and
manufactures diamond-studded jewellery; it caters primarily to the
export market. The DSM group expanded its diamond polishing
business by setting up Ultimate Gems Pvt Ltd and DSM Jewels in FY
2003, in addition to ADPL; it entered the diamond-studded
jewellery manufacturing business in 2002 by setting up PJPL.

ADPL reported a net loss of INR21.7 million on net sales of
INR292.6 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31), as against a PAT of INR6.0 million on net sales of
INR362 million for 2007-08.


ARPIT PROJECTS: CRISIL Rates INR1.54 Billion Term Loan at 'B'
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Stable' rating to the term loan of
Arpit Projects Ltd

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR1.54 Billion Term Loan Facility     B/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects APL's exposure to increasing competition, and
its promoters' lack of experience in the hotel industry.  The
company is also exposed to project implementation risks, because
of pending approvals from various authorities on its ongoing
project.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
company's management tie-up with Country Development & Management
Services (CDMS), thereby ensuring operational and brand support.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that APL will continue to face project
implementation and demand risks.  The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' if the company's hotel is commercially launched on
schedule, and if the company reports more-than-expected revenues
on a sustained basis.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' if APL undertakes larger-than-expected debt-funded
capital expenditure (capex) projects, or if there is delay in
commencement of commercial operations.

                       About Arpit Projects

APL was incorporated in 1995 in Rajasthan. Currently, the company
trades in securities and commodities.  It plans to purchase a
four-star hotel in Gurgaon from Gurgaon Recreation Park Limited
(GRPL), for which land was allotted by Haryana State Industrial
Development Corporation.  The hotel is expected to become fully
commercially operational by October 2010 and partially before
March 31, 2010. The total cost of the project is INR2.32 billion.
APL has paid an advance of INR200 million to GRPL.

As APL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR1.3 million on net
sales of INR61.8 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), as against a PAT of INR1.0 million on net
sales of INR28.0 million for 2007-08.


CHANDIGARH IRON: Weak Liquidity Prompts CRISIL Junk Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'D/P5' ratings to the bank facilities of
Chandigarh Iron and Steel Company Ltd, part of the Srirama group.
The ratings reflect the delay by CISCL in servicing its term loan;
the delay has been caused by CISCL's weak liquidity due to the
start-up phase of its operations.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR80 Million Cash Credit        D (Assigned)
   INR43 Million Term Loan          D (Assigned)
   INR79 Million Proposed Long      D (Assigned)
       Term Bank Loan Facility
   INR2.5 Million Bank Guarantee    P5 (Assigned)

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of CISCL and Sri Ram Steels Ltd (SRSL,
rated 'D/P5', by CRISIL).  This is because the two companies,
together referred to as the Srirama group, are under the same
management, in the same line of business, and share high degree of
operational linkage and have fungible cash flows. The entire
output of SRSL is used as input for CISCL, against extended
credit. The two companies have also provided cross-corporate
guarantees for each other's bank facilities.

                          About the Group

The Srirama group commenced operations in 1981 by setting up SRSL
for manufacturing mild steel billets.  Subsequently in 2006-07
(refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), the management,
with a view to forward integrate the operations started the
construction of a rolling mill for manufacturing thermo-
mechanically treated (TMT) steel bars under CISCL.  At present
SRSL has a capacity of 500 tonnes per day (tpd). CISCL commenced
commercial production in July 2009, with a capacity of 272 tpd,
raw material (billets) are procured entirely from SRSL. Both the
manufacturing units are in Himachal Pradesh and are enjoy several
fiscal benefits.

The Srirama group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR42
million on net sales of INR 1.75 billion for 2008-09, against a
PAT of INR32 million on net sales of INR1.01 billion for 2007-08.


H. M. PIPES: Delay in Term Loan Repayment Cues CRISIL 'D' Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'D/P5' ratings to H. M. Pipes Pvt Ltd's
bank facilities.  The ratings reflect delay by HMPPL in servicing
its term loans owing to its weak liquidity.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR92.5 Million Cash Credit Limit      D (Assigned)
   INR9.0 Million Term Loan               D (Assigned)
   INR80.0 Million Bank Guarantee         P5 (Assigned)

HMPPL, incorporated in 2000, is a Class AA contractor. It is in
the business of manufacturing and selling polyethylene pipes,
including permanently lubricated high-density polyethylene (PLB
HDPE) duct pipes, and polypropylene random (PPR) pipes.  These
pipes are mainly used by telecommunication companies in laying
cables, and for laying water pipes.  HMPPL manufactures the PLB
HDPE pipes in eight different colors and different thicknesses
ranging from 20 millimetres to 450 millimetres.  The company has a
production capacity of around 11,000 tonnes per annum, and is
presently utilizing around 30.00 per cent of its installed
capacity.

HMPPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR11.3 million on net
sales of INR538 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR2 million on net sales
of INR258 million for 2007-08.


JAI JAGDISH: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating on INR25MM Cash Credit
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Jai Jagdish Ship Breakers Pvt Ltd, which is part of
the Sachdeva group.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR25.0 Million Cash Credit Limit      BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR225.0 Million Letter of Credit      P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect the Sachdeva group's weak financial risk
profile marked by operating losses incurred in 2008-09 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), exposure to intense
competition in the ship-breaking industry, and susceptibility to
cyclicality and adverse regulatory changes in the ship-breaking
industry.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
Sachdeva group's promoters' industry experience, and the benefits
that the group is expected to derive from the healthy growth
prospects in the ship-breaking industry.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of JJSL and Sachdeva Steel Products - Ship
Breaking Unit (SSP). This is because the entities, together
referred to as the Sachdeva group, are under a common management,
and have operational and financial linkages (including fungible
cash flows).

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that the Sachdeva group will benefit from healthy
growth prospects in the ship-breaking industry over the medium
term.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the group
generates more-than-expected sales, and improves its profitability
and debt protection metrics.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' in case the group's margins decline sharply,
most likely because of a sharp decline in steel scrap prices, and
the group failing to recover the cost of ship purchase.

                          About the Group

JJSL was incorporated in 1998.  It is in the business of
dismantling ships.  The company was incorporated as an extension
of the ship-breaking operations of the Sachdeva group.  The group
was already carrying out ship-breaking operations through SSP.

SSP, a partnership firm, was set up in 1994. SSP and JJSL form the
ship-breaking division of the Sachdeva Group.

The Sachdeva group reported a net loss of INR32.7 million on net
sales of INR440 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a Profit after Sales of INR2.6
million on net sales of INR224 million for 2007-08.


KALP DIAMONDS: CRISIL Assigns 'P4' Ratings on Various Bank Debts
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'P4' to Kalp Diamonds' bank
facilities.  The rating reflects Kalp Diamonds' large working
capital requirements and modest scale of operations in the diamond
industry. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
benefits that the firm derives from its promoters' experience in
the diamond manufacturing and exports business.

   Facilities                                 Ratings
   ----------                                 -------
   INR70.0 Million Post Shipment Credit       P4 (Assigned)

Kalp Diamonds reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR0.1 million
on net sales of INR440 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR8 million on net
sales of INR360 million for 2007-08.


KONASEEMA GAS: Inadequate Cash Flows Cue CRISIL Junk Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its rating on Konaseema Gas Power Ltd's bank
facilities to 'D' from 'B/Stable', as KGPL has not paid its recent
interest instalments.  This is because of KGPL's inadequate cash
flows from operations.

   Facilities                        Ratings
   ----------                        -------
   INR12.59 Billion Term Loan        D (Downgraded from
                                        'B/Stable')

   INR1 Billion Proposed Long-Term   D (Downgraded from
                Bank Loan Facility      'B/Stable')

Promoted jointly by VBC Ferro Alloys Ltd, VBC Industries Ltd, and
Elgitread (India) Ltd, KGPL has set up a 445-megawatt (MW) natural
gas-based combined-cycle power plant at Devarapalli in Andhra
Pradesh's East Godavari district.  KGPL has commenced open cycle
operations from June 4, 2009.  The company has a power purchase
agreement for 15 years with the AP power distribution companies
for the sale of 80 per cent of its generated power; the remaining
20 per cent will be sold on merchant basis.


PIONEER WINCON: CRISIL Lifts Rating on Cash Credit to 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has upgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Pioneer
Wincon Pvt Ltd to 'B-/Stable/P4' from 'D/P5'.

   Facilities                           Ratings
   ----------                           -------
   INR375.00 Million Cash Credit        B-/Stable (Upgraded from
                                                   'D')
   INR200.00 Million Letter of Credit   P4 (Upgraded from 'P5')

The upgrade follows the repayment of PWPL's outstanding short-term
loan of INR50 million, on which PWPL had defaulted in July 2009,
and the closure of all letters of credit on due date by PWPL since
September 2009.  The company's liquidity has improved in 2008-09
owing to the liquidation of its inventory.  The upgrade also
reflects CRISIL's belief that PWPL will continue to service debt
obligations in a timely manner over the medium term, backed by its
improved liquidity.

The rating reflects PWPL's weak financial risk profile, limited
product diversity, and exposure to risks associated with commodity
price volatility. These weaknesses are partly offset by healthy
market position in the small turbine segment aided by the vast
experience of its promoters.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Pioneer Wincon Pvt Ltd (PWPL) will maintain a
stable business risk profile on the back of established position
in the small wind turbines segment, which is reflected in a
healthy order book.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if
significant and sustainable improvement in profitability and cash
accruals or fresh equity infusion leads to improvement in PWPL's
financial risk profile.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' in case of higher-than-expected debt-funded capital
expenditure or delay in receivables or increase in inventory
leading to lower-than-expected profitability and weak debt
protection metrics.

                       About Pioneer Wincon

PWPL, promoted by the Pioneer Asia group, Sivakasi (Tamil Nadu),
was set up in 1996. PWPL manufactures windmills in the 250
kilowatt (KW) segment, and also undertakes turnkey projects for
setting up windmills.

For 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), PWPL
posted a net loss of INR34 million on net sales of INR889 million;
it reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR18 million on net sales
of INR1.48 billion for 2007-08.


PRETTY JEWELLERY: CRISIL Puts 'P4' Rating on Packing Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'P4' to the bank loan facilities
of Pretty Jewellery Pvt Ltd, which is part of the DSM group. The
rating reflects the DSM group's stretched financial risk profile,
marked by build-up in the receivables, high gearing levels, and
weak debt protection measures.  These weaknesses are partially
offset by the benefits that the group derives from the experience
of its promoters in the diamond jewellery business.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR55.0 Million Post Shipment Credit   P4 (Assigned)
   INR55.0 Million Packing Credit         P4 (Assigned)

For arriving at its rating, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of PJPL and Araska Diamond Private
Limited.  This is because PJPL and ADPL (together referred to as
the DSM group) have common management team, are in the same line
of business and have operational and financial linkages.

Set up in 1976 by Mr. Shailesh Mehta, the DSM group commenced
operations under S R Diamonds, a proprietorship firm engaged in
the export of polished diamonds, which was taken over by ADPL in
2008-09.  The group polishes and trades in diamonds and
manufactures diamond-studded jewellery; it caters primarily to the
export market.  The DSM group expanded its diamond polishing
business by setting up Ultimate Gems Pvt Ltd and DSM Jewels in FY
2003, in addition to ADPL; it entered the diamond-studded
jewellery manufacturing business in 2002 by setting up PJPL.

PJPL reported a net loss of INR33.5 million on net sales of
INR250 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31), as against a PAT of INR14.9 million on net sales of
INR293 million for 2007-08


REFLEXIONS NARAYANI: CRISIL Rates INR160 Mil. Term Loan at 'BB-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB-/Stable/P4+' on Reflexions
Narayani Impex Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                           Ratings
   ----------                           -------
   INR160.00 Million Term Loan          BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR20.00 Million Packing Credit      P4+ (Assigned)
   INR20.00 Million Foreign Bills       P4+ (Assigned)
   Negotiated/Foreign Bills Purchased

The ratings reflect RNIPL's exposure to risks relating to small
scale of operations, to economic slowdown, to intense competition
in the leather goods exports industry, and customer concentration
in revenue profile.  These weaknesses are partially offset by the
company's moderate financial risk profile, marked by low gearing.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that RNIPL's business risk profile will remain
constrained over medium term due to vulnerability to the economic
slowdown.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if RNIPL's
operating income and profitability are significantly higher than
that expected.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' if the company is unable to increase its revenues, or
the revenues from commercial building project is lower than
expected constraining its ability to honour its debt obligations
on time.

                     About Reflexions Narayani

Set up in 1994 by Mr. Satyabrata Mukhopadhyay, RNIPL manufactures
leather products such as wallets, purses, bags, passport/credit
card holder, and pencil cases.  The company has three factories at
Kolkata, and exports all its products.

RNIPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR35 million on
operating income of INR174 million for 2008-09 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), as against a PAT of INR20
million on operating income of INR132 million for 2007-08.


SACHDEVA STEEL: CRISIL Places 'BB-' on INR20MM Cash Credit Limit
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Sachdeva Steel Products - Ship Breaking Unit, which
is part of the Sachdeva group.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR20.0 Million Cash Credit Limit      BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR180.0 Million Letter of Credit      P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect the Sachdeva group's weak financial risk
profile marked by operating losses incurred in 2008-09 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), exposure to intense
competition in the ship-breaking industry, and susceptibility to
cyclicality and adverse regulatory changes in the ship-breaking
industry.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
Sachdeva group's promoters' industry experience, and the benefits
that the group is expected to derive from the healthy growth
prospects in the ship-breaking industry.

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of SSP and Jai Jagdish Ship Breakers Pvt
Ltd.  This is because the entities, together referred to as the
Sachdeva group, are under a common management, and have
operational and financial linkages (including fungible cash
flows).

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that the Sachdeva group will benefit from healthy
growth prospects in the ship-breaking industry over the medium
term.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the group
generates more-than-expected sales, and improves its profitability
and debt protection metrics. Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' in case the group's margins decline sharply,
most likely because of a sharp decline in steel scrap prices, and
the group failing to recover the cost of ship purchase.

                          About the Group

SSP, a partnership firm, was set up in 1994. SSP and JJSL form the
ship-breaking division of the Sachdeva Group.

JJSL was incorporated in 1998. It is in the business of
dismantling ships. The company was incorporated as an extension of
the ship-breaking operations of the Sachdeva group. The group was
already carrying out ship-breaking operations through SSP.

The Sachdeva group reported a net loss of INR32.7 million on net
sales of INR440 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a Profit after Sales of INR2.6
million on net sales of INR224 million for 2007-08.


SAHDEV JEWELLERS: CRISIL Reaffirms 'P4' Ratings on Various Debts
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has reaffirmed its rating of 'P4' to Sahdev Jewellers' bank
facilities.

   Facilities                                    Ratings
   ----------                                    -------
   INR132 Million Bills Discounting Facility     P4(Reaffirmed)
   INR232 Million Letter of Credit Facility      P4(Reaffirmed)
   INR186 Million Proposed Short-Term Bank       P4(Reaffirmed)
                                Facilities

The ratings reflect Sahdev's weak financial risk profile, and
exposure to risks relating to intense competition in the jewellery
industry, and to customer and geographical concentration in its
revenue profile.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by
the benefits that the firm derives from its promoters' experience
in the hand-crafted jewellery business.

Set up in 1998 by Mr. Vasudev Sahdev, Sahdev manufactures gold
jewellery and exports mostly to Dubai.  The firm has a
manufacturing facility at Noida Special Economic Zone (NSEZ) in
Noida (Uttar Pradesh) and is setting up another facility in the
same location.  Its operations are currently being handled by Mr.
Ravi Sahdev, son of the founder, Mr. Vasudev Sahdev, and partner
in the entity.

Sahdev reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR18.3 million on net
sales of INR1.99 billion for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR3.8 million on net sales
of INR1.19 billion for 2007-08.


SAMAL AUTO: CRISIL Rates INR160MM Cash Credit at 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'BB-/Stable' to the cash credit
facility of Samal Auto (India) Pvt Ltd.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR160.0 Million Cash Credit     BB-/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects Samal Auto's sub-par financial risk profile
marked by high gearing and modest net worth, and average scale of
operations, with limited diversity both in terms of its product
profile and geography.  These weaknesses are partially offset by
the company's good business relationship with Tata Motors Ltd
(TML, rated 'A/Stable/P1' by CRISIL).

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects Samal Auto's business levels to witness a gradual
improvement over the medium term, driven by increase in sale of
heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) of TML.  However, the company's
financial risk profile will remain constrained because of its
modest net worth and high gearing.  The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' if there is a significant increase in Samal Auto's
business levels and net worth, resulting in better debt protection
measures and improved capital structure.  Conversely, sluggish
business levels, deterioration in profitability, or increase in
debt could result in the outlook being revised to 'Negative'.

                         About Samal Auto

Samal Auto was incorporated in November 2006 and started
commercial operations from May 2007.  The company is an authorized
dealer for TML's HCVs in about 14 districts of western Orissa.

Samal Auto is part of a group of entities promoted by the Samal
family.  The businesses of the other entities in the group
include: civil construction, sale and distribution of spare parts
of TML's CVs, and servicing of TML's HCVs.  The group is primarily
managed by Mr. Gangadhar Samal (managing director of Samal Auto)
and his elder brother Mr. Ramesh Chandra Samal (a director in
Samal Auto). The Samal family holds 100 per cent stake in Samal
Auto.

For 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), Samal
Auto reported a net profit of INR7.13 million on net revenues of
INR2.44 billion, against a net profit of INR11.37 million on net
revenues of INR2.15 billion for 2007-08.


SHILPI CABLE: Fitch Assigns 'B' National Long-Term Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned India's Shilpi Cable Technologies
Limited a National Long-term rating of 'B(ind)'.  The Outlook is
Stable.  Fitch has also assigned a 'B(ind)' rating to the
company's outstanding term loans of INR470.5 million, and rates
its fund based limits of INR250 million and non fund based limits
of INR580.3 million at 'B(ind)'/'F4(ind)'.

Shilpi's ratings reflect its sponsors' over 20 years of track
record in the cable manufacturing industry and it also considers
the growth potential of the radio frequency cables industry in
India, which is correlated with the growth in the telecom sector.
In addition, the majority of the Indian RF cable requirement is
imported from China and to date, there are few domestic
competitors in the industry, providing growth potential for
Shilpi.  The company has also signed formal long-term agreements
with Tata Teleservices and Ericsson for supplying cables, which
provides revenue visibility in the medium-term.  The company does
not plan to incur any capex in the short-medium term, which should
improve its financial leverage.  The average utilization of fund-
based working capital limits has been close to 90% over the past
year.

However, the ratings are constrained by liquidity stress faced by
the company since inception and its short history in RF cable
manufacturing; the unit only begun operations in September 2008.
Shilpi's main raw material is copper, which contributes around 80%
of Shilpi's raw material cost.  The company procures copper at
spot prices, which are linked to international London Metal
Exchange prices, making it prone to price volatility risk and
forex risk, thereby impacting profitability.  Also, the balance
sheet of Shilpi is highly geared, with a debt of INR769 million on
an equity base of INR262 million as on FYE09, and it faces
concentration risk with its top two customers contributing to more
than 44% of its FY09 revenues.

Positive rating factors include a substantial increase in revenues
along with a reduction in financial leverage.  On the other hand,
debt-led capex or an inability to increase revenues per
projections, resulting in lower EBITDA and increased financial
leverage would be negative for the ratings.

Shilpi, formerly named Rosenberger Shilpi Cable Technologies
Limited, was a 50:50 joint venture set up between Shilpi
Communications Private Limited and Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik
GmbH & Co., Germany.  However, owing to a dispute between these
two companies, the joint venture ended in August 2008 when Shilpi
Communications acquired the shares of Rosenberger at a cost of
INR220 million, and the company is now fully owned by Shilpi
group.  Shilpi is in the business of manufacturing RF cables and
has an installed capacity of 8165km of "7/8" cables pa and 10080KM
of "0.5" cables pa.

Shilpi recorded revenues of INR484 million in FY09, with an
EBITDAR margin of 20.2% and net income of INR1.4 million.


TULSI TRADING: CRISIL Assigns 'B+' Rating on INR150MM Cash Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'B+/Stable' to the cash credit
of Tulsi Trading Corporation.

   Facilities                      Ratings
   ----------                      -------
   INR150.0 Million Cash Credit    B+/Stable (Assigned)

The ratings reflect Tulsi's strained financial risk profile marked
by its weak capital structure, and its exposure to risks related
to government regulations regarding the liquor industry.  These
rating weaknesses are partially offset by Tulsi's established
position as a beer and spirits distributor.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Tulsi will maintain its business risk profile
on the back of its established position in the distribution of
Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) and beer.  The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if Tulsi's financial risk profile improves
because of significant improvement in its capital structure,
operating margin, and revenues.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if Tulsi's debt protection measures
deteriorate because of lower-than-expected growth in its operating
revenues and margins and any adverse changes in the regulatory
framework which might impact the operating metrics.

                        About Tulsi Trading

Tulsi was set up in 1972 by Mr. Somjimal Fatnani, as a
proprietorship concern, at Ulhasnagar (Maharashtra).  His son, Mr.
Ram Fatnani, took over the business after his death in 1990. Tulsi
is the distributor of United Breweries limited for Thane and
Raigad districts.

Tulsi reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR9.8 million on net
sales of INR1043 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR8.95 million on net
sales of INR911 million for 2007-08.


WESTERN INDIA: CRISIL Places 'BB+' Rating on INR34.2MM Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB+/Positive/P4+' to the bank
facilities of The Western India Plywoods Ltd.

   Facilities                           Ratings
   ----------                           -------
   INR34.20 Million Term Loan           BB+/Positive (Assigned)
   INR270.00 Million Cash Credit        BB+/Positive (Assigned)
   INR50.00 Million Letter of Credit    P4+ (Assigned)
                    & Bank Guarantee

The ratings reflect WIPL's below-average financial risk profile
marked by high gearing, and its large working capital
requirements.  These weaknesses are partially offset by WIPL's
established market position in the domestic hardboard and plywood
industry backed by stable revenues, diversified operations, and
integrated manufacturing facilities.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the financials of
WIPL and WIPL's subsidiaries, The Kohinoor Saw Mill Company and
Southern Veneers and Woodworks Ltd.

Outlook: Positive

CRISIL expects a significant improvement in the financial risk
profile of WIPL over the medium term, given the company's
improving operating margin.  The ratings may be upgraded in case
of more-than-expected increase in WIPL's cash accruals, resulting
in improvement in its capital structure.  Conversely, the outlook
may be revised to 'Stable' if the company's revenues decline or
margin deteriorates, thereby adversely affecting its liquidity, or
if the company undertakes a large, debt-funded capital expenditure
programme, thereby further constraining its capital structure.

                        About Western India

Established in 1945 by the late Mr. A K Kaderkutty in Kerala, WIPL
started operations as a manufacturer of sawed timber and plywood.
Today, WIPL is one of the leading manufacturers of hardboards in
India.  The company's operations are now managed by Mr. P K
Mohamed and Mr. P K Mayan Mohamed, son and grandson, respectively,
of Mr. Kaderkutty.

For 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), WIPL
reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR54 million on net sales of
INR877 million, against a PAT of INR36 million on net sales of
INR754 million for the previous year.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
June 17, 2009, Fitch Ratings downgraded Wockhardt Limited's
National Long-term rating to 'D' from 'C(ind)'.  Fitch
simultaneously downgraded Wockhardt's long-term debt instruments:

  -- INR2,000 million long-term non-convertible debenture
     programme downgraded to 'D' from 'C(ind)'

  -- INR2,500 million long-term loans and INR2,500 million
     non fund-based cash credit facilities downgraded to 'D'
     from 'C(ind)'

was downgraded to 'F5(ind)' on April 8, 2009.


YAMIR PACKAGING: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating on INR66MM Term Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB-/Stable/P4+' to Yamir
Packaging Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR90.0 Million Cash Credit Limit*     BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR66.0 Million Term Loan              BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR110.0 Million Letter of Credit**    P4+ (Assigned)

   *Limits with a cap of INR60 million on cash credit against
    book debt and stock

   ** Letter of credit for import of machinery

The ratings reflect YPPL's average financial risk profile, which
is expected to deteriorate due to large debt-funded capital
expenditure, and exposure to risks relating to customer
concentration in revenue profile, and small scale of operations in
the intensely competitive packaging industry.  These weaknesses
are partially offset by the benefits that YPPL derives from its
promoters' experience in the packaging industry.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Yamir Packaging Pvt Ltd will maintain its
business risk profile over the medium term backed by its sustained
operating margin and its established customer base.  The company's
financial risk profile is expected to be constrained over the
medium term on account of its recent debt-funded capex and
working-capital-intensive operations.  The outlook may be revised
to 'Positive' if the company registers higher-than-expected growth
in revenues, while maintaining its operating margin, and if its
capital structure improves substantially.  Conversely, the outlook
may be revised to 'Negative' if the company's capacity utilization
remains subdued, resulting in lower-than-expected sales and cash
accruals leading to liquidity pressures.

                       About Yamir Packaging

Yamir Packaging Pvt Ltd, incorporated in 2000 in Bharuch, Gujarat,
manufactures cartons that are used as packaging material in food,
pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods industries.

YPPL has an installed capacity to manufacture 3 million cartons

PT CENTRAL PROTEINAPRIMA: Fitch Cuts Issuer Default Rating to 'RD'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Indonesia's PT Central Proteinaprima
Tbk's Long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating to 'RD'
from 'C'.  Fitch has affirmed the 'C' rating of the US$325 million
senior unsecured notes due in 2012, issued by Blue Ocean Resources
Pte Ltd and guaranteed by CPP and its subsidiaries, reflecting a
recovery rating of 'RR4'.  The ratings have been removed from
Rating Watch Negative.

The rating actions follow CPP's failure to pay the
US$17.875 million semi-annual coupon on the notes on January 27,
2010, when a 30-day grace period for the coupon payment ended.
The company continues to face tight liquidity primarily on the
back of a virus contamination in its shrimp ponds.

CPP is currently in the process of executing a six-month
standstill agreement with the noteholders.  CPP's IDR will be
upgraded to 'C' once the standstill agreement becomes effective.
Further rating actions will depend on the outcome of the debt
restructuring the company intends to carry out during the
standstill period.

HUIS TEN: Financial Assistance Difficult, HIS Chairman Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
H.I.S. Corp Chairman Hideo Sawada told the rehabilitation
administrator of the Huis Ten Bosch that it will be difficult to
provide financial assistance to theme park under the "current
circumstances," Japan Today reports.

The report relates a senior H.I.S. official said H.I.S. believes
such assistance will be difficult because the cost of repairing
the park's facilities would cost between JPY20 billion and JPY30
billion over the next five to 10 years, much more than its earlier
estimate of "about JPY10 billion in 10 years."

Headquartered in Nagasaki, Japan, Huis Ten Bosch is a popular
theme park, which imitates Holland villages.  It is located in
Kyushu.  It is a fun place for travelers to experience the
exotic culture and atmosphere of Europe.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on July 5,
2004, that the Tokyo District Court approved Huis Ten Bosch Co.'s
rehabilitation plan under the support of Nomura Principal Finance
Co., an investment firm controlled by Nomura Holdings Inc.  Huis
Ten Bosch inked a rehabilitation sponsorship contract with Nomura
Principal in December 2003.


JAPAN AIRLINES: To Make Quick Decision on Delta, American Alliance
------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Cooper at Bloomberg News reports that Japan Airlines Corp.
Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Inamori said the carrier wants to
make a quick decision on whether to remain in an alliance with
American Airlines or switch to one with Delta Air Lines Inc.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reports that Alan Joyce, chief executive
officer of Oneworld alliance member Qantas Airways Ltd., commented
on attempts to keep Japan Airlines in the carrier grouping.

"We are part of the team that's trying to keep JAL in Oneworld.
We have talked to JAL about our experience with low-cost carriers,
with Jetstar in Singapore, and that we could help them with the
same thing in Japan," Mr. Joyce told Bloomberg in an interview in
Singapore on Monday.

"That's part of the bid to try and keep JAL within Oneworld.  We
are not interested in any equity, but we are interested in giving

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Creditors Extend Bid Deadline Until Feb. 12
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hynix Semiconductor Inc. creditors said Monday that they have
extended the deadline for accepting bids for a controlling stake
in the memory chipmaker until February 12, Yonhap News reports.

According to Yonhap News, The Korea Exchange Bank, Hynix's lead
creditor, said it believes "there are some companies that did not
have enough time to go over buying the stake, as they were in the
middle of setting up management plans for the new year."

Jung-Ah Lee at Dow Jones Newswires has reported that Hynix
creditors will look into other possible ways to unload their 28%
stake in the chip maker after failing to receive any bids by the
January 29 deadline.

Dow Jones related that the KEB said no company submitted bids to
acquire Hynix Semiconductor.  "After having discussions with the
shareholders and advisers, (KEB) will decide on the (stake sale)
plan as soon as possible, including selling a part of the stake
that would help (Hynix) maintain a stable management and corporate
governance structure," Hynix said.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Nov. 27, 2009, Hynix Semiconductor's creditors re-invited fresh
bids for the sale of a combined 28% holding in the chipmaker and
receive letters of intent from potential investors by January
after Hyosung Corp. dropped its bid.

Invitational notices for South Korean companies to submit bids
went out Dec. 20.  Letters of intent to buy Hynix will be accepted
by Jan. 29, Kyodo News said.  No local company has so far shown
any interest in the offer.

The stake sale, which is estimated to be worth KRW4.5 trillion, is
being managed by Credit Suisse Ltd., Woori Investment & Securities
Co. and state-run Korea Development Bank.

Hynix Semiconductor Inc. -- http://www.hynix.com/-- is an Icheon,
South Korea-based memory semiconductor supplier offering Dynamic

Jan. 27, 2010, Moody's Investors Service changed to stable from
negative the outlook for Hynix Semiconductor Inc's B1 corporate
family and senior unsecured bond ratings.  The rating action has
been prompted by the sharp rebound in the company's operating
performance and improved liquidity profile.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, on Nov. 17, 2009, revised to
stable from negative the outlook on its long-term corporate credit
rating on Hynix Semiconductor Inc. following the recovery of the
DRAM market and the company's profitability.  At the same time,

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-AP delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-AP 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 Tuesday
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-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.
