BP FRUITS: Attracts Potential Buyers
------------------------------------
ABC News reports that real estate agent Clinton Ramm of Knight
Frank said he has received numerous expressions of interest to buy
fruit and vegetable packing company BP Fruits.
ABC News relates that Mr. Ramm said he is now waiting for further
instructions from the liquidators.
"Then we'll proceed to see if we can get some formal offers from
the various parties who have expressed interest at this stage,"
ABC News quotes Mr. Ramm as saying.
BP Fruits went into voluntary liquidation last month and will be
put on the market at the end of this month. The company's
liquidators said employees will be paid out and will be assisted
to claim their entitlements. The liquidators also said the cause
of the company's insolvency was the loss of a major packing
account, ABC Rural cites.
BP Fruits operated a fruit and vegetable packing plant in South
Australia's Riverland.
EAGLE BOYS: Bathurst Outlet in Voluntary Liquidation
-----------------------------------------------------
Louise Eddy at westernadvocate.com.au report that the doors were
shut at the Bathurst Eagle Boys Pizza outlet this week after the
local eatery went into voluntary liquidation.
But the firm opened again Tuesday with the Durham Street store now
run by Eagle Boys' corporate office, westernadvocate.com.au
relates.
According to westernadvocate.com.au, Eagle Boys Pizza Managing
Director and CEO Toddy Clayton confirmed all existing staff
members were on board to ensure the store remains open.
"We really value our regional stores and the community involvement
and support that is intrinsic in the local area,"
westernadvocate.com.au quotes Mr. Clayton as saying.
Bathurst's other pizza chains benefited from the temporary closure
with staff run off their feet.
Eagle Boys Pizza is Australia's second largest pizza maker and is
100% cent Australian-owned. Eagle Boys Pizza operates more than
335 franchised stores throughout Queensland, NSW, Victoria, South
Australia, Western Australia, the ACT, and the Northern Territory.
The company employs more than 8,000 staff and makes more than 18
million pizzas a year.

CHINA SOUTH: Moody's Reviews 'B1' CFR for Possible Downgrade
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has put China South City's B1 corporate
family rating and B2 senior unsecured rating on review for
possible downgrade.
The review follows CSC's announcement of a framework agreement
with the Howard Group to construct and develop a large scale
integrated logistics and trade center in Harbin, China.
The total investment amount is estimated at RMB20 billion, and
which will be spent over 10 years.
CSC will inject -- together with its partner -- an initial capital
amount of around RMB2 billion into a project company.
CSC will hold a 51% stake in this company.
"CSC's level of engagement in the Harbin project -- which will be
much larger than its existing centers in Shenzhen -- is beyond
Moody's expectations," say Jiming Zou, a Moody's Analyst .
"Moody's is concerned that CSC has yet to demonstrate success
beyond Shenzhen and its investment in Harbin could greatly
escalate its financial and operating risk," says Zou.
"In addition, CSC has yet to demonstrate a track record of sales
from those new trade centers in Nanning, Nanchang, Xi'an, beyond
the existing Shenzhen trade center," says Zou.
In its review, Moody's will focus on the business and funding
strategies of the Harbin project and the impact of the project on
CSC's credit profile.
Moody's will also assess the sustainability of CSC's business on
such an expanded scale and its ability to raise funding to support
its business plan.
The principal methodology used in rating China South City was the
Global Homebuilding Industry Methodology, published March 2009.
China South City, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, is a
leading developer and operator of large scale integrated logistics
and trade centers on the Mainland. The company operates one
center in Shenzhen and is developing centers in Nanning, Nanchang,
Xi'an, as well as one residential project in Heyuan.
SINO-FOREST CORP: Fitch Cuts IDR & Sr. Unsec. Debt Rating to 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Sino-Forest Corporation's Long-term
foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and senior unsecured
debt rating to 'BB-' from 'BB+' and placed the ratings on Rating
Watch Negative (RWN).
The downgrade and RWN are primarily driven by the fact that the
company does not currently have direct access to the profits of
its main operating subsidiaries due to complexities in its
corporate structure. During the Q111 results announcement on
June 14, 2011 and follow-up discussions with management, the
company indicated that roughly 90% of its plantation fibre sales,
which contribute to the bulk of its operating profit, are
conducted by British Virgin Island registered subsidiaries, which
are legally barred from receiving local currency due to their
offshore incorporation. However, these BVI subsidiaries are
allowed to own forestry assets.
The present payment structure means that the BVI companies do not
handle their operating and investment cash flows. The proceeds
from the sale of BVI-owned onshore assets are not remitted to the
company but are paid directly by SF's customers to its suppliers.
Effectively, this means that the cash flows from these asset sales
are not available to the BVI registered companies as they are only
capable of being converted into new assets. Whilst the asset base
can continue to expand under this model, offshore creditors are at
a disadvantage as there is no clear ability for the BVI entities
to access the cash flows for debt repayment.
Under this business model, any restriction in access to
international capital markets over the medium term is a major
concern for Fitch, as without access to the BVI cash flows, the
company would potentially need to rely on external refinancing for
off-shore debt maturities. However, Fitch notes that the company
does not face an immediate liquidity constraint as its next
scheduled major off-shore debt repayment is not due until August
2013 (a USD345 million convertible note), and it currently has
USD767.5 million of cash off-shore.
The to-date-uncorroborated allegations by Muddy Waters, LLC (MW)
have clearly impacted the company's equity and bond prices which
have fallen sharply. The company has refuted a number of these
allegations and has started an investigation, led by a committee
of independent directors, into the allegations. However, the
company's current ability to access capital markets is undoubtedly
constrained, which Fitch views negatively.
The company is improving its operating cash flow access by growing
the asset base of its onshore incorporated subsidiaries, partly by
large scale forest replanting -- current plans involve the
planting of 200,000 hectares by end 2012. However, this
transformation is a gradual process that will take years to
achieve, and in the meantime the company remains vulnerable to
refinancing risk if a solution to access the profits of the BVI-
registered subsidiaries is not found.
The RWN will likely be resolved if the company articulates and
starts executing a clearly defined plan to migrate its business to
onshore incorporated subsidiaries that provide greater
transparency; or, if offshore funding is still curtailed, it
establishes more onshore funding sources. The publication of a
satisfactory report of the investigation committee would be viewed
positively by Fitch if there was a subsequent improvement in
capital markets access, and the ratings could be affirmed if there
is no material deterioration in the company's business from
current levels. Further negative rating actions may be taken if
the issues mentioned above are not adequately resolved /
addressed.

BANK OF INDIA: S&P Affirms Rating on Lower Tier II Notes at 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the issue ratings on
the proposed issues under the US$3 billion medium-term notes (MTN)
program by Bank of India (BOI; BBB-/Stable/A-3):
'BBB-' rating on the senior unsecured notes.
'BB+' rating on the lower Tier II subordinated notes.
'BB' rating on the upper Tier II subordinated notes and the
hybrid Tier I notes.
BOI has increased the size of this MTN program to US$3 billion
from US$2 billion. The bank will use the net proceeds from the
proposed notes to meet the funding requirements of its overseas
offices. The bank may also use the proceeds for general corporate
purposes at its Indian operations, subject to regulatory approval.
Standard & Poor's rating on any given issue depends on the issue's
specific terms and conditions. "One exception is indexed-linked
notes, for which we would not assign any issue rating according to
our article titled 'Criteria Update: Commodity- And Equity-Linked
Notes,' published Dec. 10, 2009, on RatingsDirect on the Global
Credit Portal. The article said: 'Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services will no longer rate obligations with variable principal
payments linked to commodity prices, equity prices, or indices
linked to either commodity or equity prices. Such obligations are
among the class of obligations sometimes called market-linked
notes or MLNs," S&P added.
DD INDUSTRIES: ICRA Reaffirms 'LBB+' Rating on INR5cr Bank Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has reaffirmed the LBB+/A4+ ratings for the INR50.0 Crore
bank facilities of DD Industries Limited. The ratings continue to
be placed on "Rating Watch with Developing Implications".
The ratings reaffirmation takes into account DDIL's strong market
position, being the largest dealer of MSIL in Delhi, its long
standing relationship with MSIL, steady improvement in margins
owing to shift in product mix in favor of higher margin models and
efforts to improve geographical diversification with plans of
opening additional outlets outside the Delhi region. However, the
ratings continue to be constrained by the overall thin operating
margin and high working capital intensity of the dealership
business, DDIL's regional concentration on the Delhi market,
stretched liquidity position on account of strong growth in car
sales in 2010-11 as well as increased wholesale off take during
April- May 2011 and large intergroup transactions between group
companies.
In April 2010, ICRA had placed the ratings of DDIL on "Rating
Watch with Developing Implications" in view of the proposed
demerger of vehicle dealership business of DDIL into a separate
company. Since the above demerger process is yet to get completed,
the ratings of the company continue to be placed on "Rating Watch
with Developing Implications". The rating action would be
concluded once clarity is obtained on the demerger process, which
as per the company management is likely to happen by early Q3,
2011-12.
During this period, the rating would remain sensitive to DDIL's
ability to manage its liquidity position which is currently under
pressure as reflected in its almost fully drawn working capital
limits. Further, ICRA expects funds advanced by DDIL to its group
companies in the form of unsecured loans to be received back in
the short term. The access to these funds remains critical for
deleveraging its balance sheet, besides supporting its future
funding requirements for growth.
About DD Industries
Incorporated in 1951, DD Industries Limited had initially started
off as a manufacturer of auto components viz., propeller shafts,
yokes and other transmission components for Commercial Vehicles.
In 1996, the company ventured into the vehicle dealership business
of MSIL and later in the year 2000 also diversified into trading
of CNG kits and conversion of in-use diesel/ petrol vehicles into
CNG mode. The vehicle dealership business of DDIL (through the
division DD Motors, is the flagship business of the company
accounting for more than 95% of DDIL's total sales. DDM has a
total of five sales outlets with four of them located across Delhi
at Mayapuri, Wazirpur, Peeragarhi, and Okhla and one at Dehradun
(Uttaranchal).
GARNET SPECIALTY: ICRA Reaffirms 'LB+' Rating on INR22cr LT Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has reaffirmed a long term rating of 'LB+' to the INR22.00
crore bank facilities of Garnet Specialty Paper Limited. ICRA has
also reaffirmed a short term rating of 'A4' to the INR9.00 crore
bank facilities of GSPL.
The ratings reaffirmation by ICRA continues to reflect the weak
financial profile of GSPL despite the improvement in its capital
structure following the equity infusions undertaken by the
promoter group. The operating profitability of the company has
been adversely impacted during FY 11 due to shift in its product
mix towards relatively lower value add product segments and
decline in export of value add products which offers relatively
better profitability margins. The decline in export has been due
to weak economic conditions in GSPL's key export markets and
adverse currency movements. With a decline in export volumes, GSPL
has focused on domestic markets to adequately utilize its
production facilities. While the focus on domestic markets
resulted in an improved sales, capacity utilization and revenues;
the profitability of the company was adversely impacted. As a
result of weak profitability, the debt coverage indicators of the
company have continued to remain weak despite an improved capital
structure.
The rating is also constrained on account of working capital
intensive nature of company's operations, which coupled with
revenue growth in FY 11, has resulted in stretched liquidity
position as is reflected in its high working capital limits
utilization. Going forward, the ability of GSPL to further improve
the capacity utilization of its manufacturing facilities while
improving its cost structure and fund its increasing working
capital requirements will remain key rating sensitivities.
About Garnett Specialty
Garnett Specialty Paper Limited is promoted by Auger Group U K
which in turn is owned by Mr. M V Mehta. GSPL was established
during the year 2004-05 and is into the manufacturing hi-end value
added paper products which are largely supplied to European
countries. GSPL's operations were earlier located in Garnett UK,
and with an objective to reduce its cost of production, Garnett UK
operations were shifted to GSPL's manufacturing facilities in
India over past few years. As a part of shifting its operations to
India, GSPL took over the operations of Nathani Paper Mills
Limited (NPML) which was under the purview of Board of Industrial
and Financial Reconstruction and later NPML was amalgamated with
GSPL. The manufacturing unit of GSPL is located at Vapi in
Gujarat.
As per the provisional results, GSPL reported a net sale of
INR42.86 crore and a net profit of INR0.53 crore during FY11 as
against a net sale of INR28.52 crore and a net profit of
INR0.44 crore in previous year.
GUJARAT PICKERS: ICRA Assigns 'LBB' Rating to INR20cr Cash Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned 'LBB' rating to the INR20.0 crore fund based
cash credit facilities of Gujarat Pickers Industries Limited. The
outlook on the long term rating is stable. ICRA has also assigned
'A4' rating to the INR7.0 crore non-fund based Bank Guarantee
facilities of GPIL.
The ratings take into account the small scale of operations of
GPIL, its low net worth base in comparison to the credit risk
undertaken by the company for its overall sales, high working
capital requirements in relation to profits, weak profitability
indicators and low debt coverage indicators. However, the ratings
favorably factor in the long track record of GPIL in polymers &
chemical distribution business, established association with
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and customers, diversified
customer profile, steady domestic demand prospects for polymers
and moderate liquidity position.
Gujarat Pickers Industries Limited was established in 1962 by
(Late) Shri Galabhai Makwana and his son & present Chairman Shri
Ratilal Makwana as Gujarat Pickers Industries, Bhavnagar as a
partnership firm and was initially engaged in manufacturing of
various types of Pickers and other accessories (used in textile
industry). The firm was later converted into a limited company and
in the year 1980 was appointed as distributor of Indian
Petrochemicals Corporation Limited, Vadodara, for their polymer
products. The company segregated from this distributorship
business in 2002 after RIL took over IPCL. The company then
started its own import/export house and traded in the field of
polymer products, sugar machineries, metal trading and other
products. During the year 2003 the firm was appointed as
distributors of Indian Oil Corporation Limited for chemicals like
Toluene, Benzene, MTO, Aromax, Sulpher etc. In the year 2010 the
company was appointed as consignment stockist of Indian Oil
Corporation Limited for their PE/PP (polymer) products. GPIL is
engaged in the distribution of these chemical and polymer products
(PP/PE) in Ahmedabad, Mehsana, Kadi and surrounding areas. The
company has a warehouse in Changodhar (Ahmedabad) for stocking
goods.
Recent Results
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the company reported an
operating income of INR77.88 crore and profit after tax of
INR0.43 crore (unaudited) as against INR74.13 crore of operating
income and INR0.37 crore of profit after tax for the financial
year 2009-10.
INDO AUSTRALIAN: CRISIL Assigns 'B-' Rating to INR70.7MM Term Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Stable/P4' ratings to the bank
facilities of Indo Australian Hose Manufacturing Pvt Ltd.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR210.0 Million Cash Credit B-/Stable (Assigned)
INR70.7 Million Term Loan B-/Stable (Assigned)
INR100.0 Million Foreign Bill P4 (Assigned)
Discounting
INR16.9 Million Letter of Credit P4 (Assigned)
The ratings reflect the Taurus group's weak financial risk
profile, marked by low net worth, weak debt protection metrics and
liquidity, and its working-capital-intensive operations. These
rating weaknesses are partially offset by Taurus group's
promoter's established relationships with major original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs).
For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of Indo Australian Hose Manufacturing Pvt
Ltd and Taurus Flexibles Pvt Ltd, together referred to as the
Taurus group, herein. This is because IAHMPL and TFPL have a
common management team and have significant operational and
financial linkages.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that the Taurus group will maintain its credit
risk profile, backed by its promoter's established relationships
with major OEMs. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the
group's liquidity improves as a result of better working capital
management, along with a sustained improvement in its financial
risk profile. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative'
in case the group reports lower-than-expected revenues or
profitability, or in case of stretch in working capital, leading
to deterioration in liquidity or financial risk profile.
About the Group
The Taurus group is into manufacturing of hose assemblies and
nylon tubes for OEMs in India and abroad. The group is currently
managed by Mr. Bhuvan Kshettry and Mr. Rishi Kshettry. The group's
promoters have an experience of over 20 years in manufacturing
hose assemblies. Their customers include OEMs such as Tata Motors
Limited (rated AA-/Stable/P1+), Ashok Leyland Limited (rated AA-
/Positive/P1+), Eicher Motors Limited, Asia Motor Works Limited,
General Motors India Private Limited, General Motors LLC and AB
Volvo in the commercial vehicle segment. The group also has a
presence in after markets (AM) in Europe and Mexico.
The group plans to set up manufacturing facilities in Pritampur
and Pantnagar (Gujarat) and expand the manufacturing capacity at
its Pune plant.
The Taurus group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR49.5
million on net sales of INR1106.3 million for 2009-10 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), as against a negative PAT of
INR7 million on net sales of INR769.9 million for 2008-09.
IRBAZ SHOE: CRISIL Assigns 'P4' Rating to INR35MM Packing Credit
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'P4' rating to the short-term bank
facilities of Irbaz Shoe Company.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR40.00 Million Foreign Bill P4 (Assigned)
Discounting
INR35.00 Million Packing Credit P4 (Assigned)
The rating reflects ISC's below-average financial risk profile,
marked by moderate gearing and debt protection metrics. The rating
also factors in customer concentration risks in ISC's revenue
profile and intense competition in the leather shoe manufacturing
industry. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
benefit ISC derives from moderately integrated nature of
operations of the group, and extensive industry experience of the
promoters
About Irbaz Shoe
ISC was set up in 1993 as a partnership firm by Mr. N Irbaz Ahmed
(managing partner), his wife, Mrs. B Ravia Aejaz; his mother, Mrs.
V Khursheed Begum; and his son, Mr. Aejaz Ahmed. The company
manufactures ladies shoes (accounts for 80% of its sales), ladies
sandals (19%), men's shoes, and shoe uppers. The company's
manufacturing facility is located in Ambur (Tamil Nadu) and has
installed capacity of 4500 to 5000 pairs of shoes per day with
current capacity utilization of 50%. ISC derives around 90% of its
revenues from exports primarily to Europe. The firm currently has
an order book for INR120 million. The promoters also manage two
other entities within the group - Irbaz Leather Private Limited
with an installed leather processing capacity of 40,000 sq.ft per
annum and Fawaz Footwear Private Limited which is engaged in
manufacturing of ladies footwear with an installed capacity of
3000 pairs of shoes per day. All the group entities are managed
independently.
ISC reported on a provisional basis a profit before tax (PBT) of
INR5.3 million on net sales of INR287.6 million for 2010-11
(refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), as against a PBT
of INR3.5 million on net sales of INR236.3 million for 2009-10.
JAHNVI SALES: CRISIL Rates INR50 Million Cash Credit at 'B-'
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Stable' rating to the cash credit
facility of Jahnvi Sales.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR50.0 Million Cash Credit B/Stable (Assigned)
The rating reflects JS's weak financial risk profile, marked by
high total outside liabilities to total net worth, and its small
scale of operations. These weaknesses are partially offset by JS's
established relationship and tie-up with ITC Ltd, ensuring revenue
stability.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that JS will maintain a stable business risk
profile over the medium term, backed by its established
relationship with ITC. Its financial risk profile is, however,
expected to remain constrained over the medium term, on account of
low profitability and large working capital requirements. The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of equity infusion by
the proprietor, or an improvement in the operating margin, leading
to an improvement in the financial risk profile. Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if cash accruals are less
than expected or in case of significant capital withdrawal by the
proprietor, leading to deterioration in JS's financial risk
profile.
About Jahnvi Sales
Set up as a proprietorship firm in 2004 by Mrs. Abhilasha Gupta,
JS is a distributor of ITC's fast-moving consumer goods. The firm
has 54 choupals in various rural districts in and around Allahabad
(Uttar Pradesh). The firm also carries trades in other products,
such as cement, wheat, and matchboxes. Around 65% of company's
revenues are derived from ITC's products, while cement contributes
around 25%.
JS reported a book profit of INR2.5 million on net sales of
INR338.3 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31), against a book profit of INR1.6 million on net sales of
INR269.8 million for 2008-09.
KOHINOOR HOSPITALS: ICRA Reaffirms 'LBB' Rating to INR61cr Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has reaffirmed the 'LBB' rating to the INR61.00 crore fund
based and non- fund based bank facilities of Kohinoor Hospitals
Private Limited. The outlook on the long term rating is stable.
The rating is constrained by the operating losses incurred by KHPL
on account of lower than expected occupancy levels for its
hospital coupled with significant fixed overheads.
The rating also notes that the company's weak operating
performance coupled with significant principal and interest
payments in the near term could require continued support from the
promoter group. The rating however, draws comfort from the fact
that all the facilities are fully operational with no major
capital expenditure expected to be incurred in the near term and
the presence of experienced consultants in the company's panel of
doctors which is likely to have a positive impact on the occupancy
levels of the hospital. Going forward, KHPL's ability to increase
the occupancy levels of the hospital through better utilization of
its existing facilities would be a key rating sensitivity.
KHPL, promoted by the Mumbai based Kohinoor group, was
incorporated in May 2007. KHPL's board comprises of Mr. Unmesh
Manohar Joshi, Ms. Anagha Manohar Joshi and Ms. Madhavi Unmesh
Joshi. KHPL has set up a 147-bed multi specialty hospital in the
Kurla, suburb of Mumbai. The project is a part of an integrated
township project being undertaken by the group. The hospital has
commenced operations with 71 paid beds that were made fully
operational in July 2010.
LAMINA SUSPENSION: CRISIL Assigns 'B+' Rating to INR34.2MM LT Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B+/Stable/P4' ratings to the bank
facilities of Lamina Suspension Products Ltd (LSPL; part of the
Lamina group).
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR34.20 Million Long-Term Loan B+/Stable (Assigned)
INR76.00 Million Overdraft Facility B+/Stable (Assigned)
INR19.00 Million Bill Discounting P4 (Assigned)
INR145.3 Million Letter of Credit P4 (Assigned)
The ratings reflect Lamina group's weak financial risk profile,
marked by a high gearing and weak debt protection metrics,
exposure to risks related to volatility in raw material prices,
and large working capital requirements. These rating weaknesses
are partially offset by Lamina group's established position in the
automotive components and iron castings sector, and established
customer relationships.
For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of LSPL, Lamina Foundries Ltd, and Lamina
International. This because the three entities, collectively
referred to as the Lamina group, are under a common management,
have fungible cash flows, and derive considerable operational and
business synergies from each other.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that the Lamina group will continue to benefit
over the medium term from its established track record in the
automotive components sector and its long-standing relationships
with its customers. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if
the group improves its capital structure and reports better-than-
expected sales growth and improvement in its margins. Conversely,
the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the Lamina group's
liquidity deteriorates further, its revenue or margins decline
significantly, or if the group contracts more-than-expected debt
to fund its capital expenditure.
About the Group
The Lamina group was formed by Mr. N V Hegde, Mr. T R Shenoy, and
Mr. Guruprasad Adyanthaya.
LSPL was set up in Mangalore (Karnataka) as a private limited
company in 1976 and currently manufactures multi-leaf and
parabolic springs for use in the automobiles sector (at a capacity
of 14,500 tpa) which are used in the replacement market. In 1989,
the company began exporting its products to the US, the UK, Italy,
South Korea, and a few other countries.
Set up in 1981, LFL is a subsidiary of LSPL and is currently
engaged in manufacture of iron castings such as brake drums, motor
bodies, flywheels, and valve bodies (at a capacity of 19,200
tonnes per annum) for use in the automobile, construction
equipment, and compressor-manufacturing industries. The company
has been listed in Bangalore Stock Exchange and Madras Stock
Exchange. LFL is referred to BIFR at present.
Set up in 1992, LI acts as an export house of LSPL and LFL as it
purchases leaf springs from LSPL and brake drums from LFL and
exports the same to European countries.
The Lamina group's profit after tax (PAT) and net sales are
estimated at INR38 million and INR1.5 billion respectively for
2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31). The
Lamina group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR25 million on
net sales of INR1.1 billion for 2009-10, as against a PAT of INR11
million on net sales of INR1.2 billion for 2008-09.
MAHESH AGRI: ICRA Assigns 'LB+' Rating to INR20.05cr LT Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned an 'LB+' rating to the INR20.05 Crore long-term
fund based and non-fund based facilities of Mahesh Agri Exim
Private Limited. ICRA has also withdrawn the 'A4' rating assigned
to the INR20.05 crore, short-term, fund-based and non-fund based
bank facilities of Mahesh as there is no amount outstanding
against the same (the amount stands reclassified as long-term,
fund-based and non-fund based facilities).
The assigned rating takes into account the promoters' experience
in the agro trading business and their long standing relationships
with suppliers and customers. The company, like other units in the
agro trading business, continues to benefit from various export
incentives and benefits applicable on such exports. The rating is
however constrained on account of the company's adverse capital
structure, low profit margins given the nature of the business and
consequently weak coverage indicators. The rating also factors in
the vulnerability of operations to raw material price and forex
fluctuations given the company's small scale of operations which
limits scope for client diversity and financial flexibility. Also,
exports of agriculture commodities face regulatory hurdles that
can result in volatility in prices and quantity available for
export. A diversified product portfolio is likely to partially
mitigate this risk.
About Mahesh Agri
Promoted by Mr. Hirji Thakker and closely held by the
promoters/promoters' family, Mahesh Agri Exim Pvt Ltd commenced
operations in 1997. MAEL is engaged into the business of trading
pulses, beans, cereals, oilseeds, spices, grains, animal feed and
bird feed. MAEL has won award for highest exporter of Sesame Oil
for 9 consecutive years from Indian Oilseeds & Produce Export
Promotion Council from 2001 to 2010. The company also received the
award for highest exporter of Groundnut Oil for the financial year
2009-10. Recent results: During FY 2011, MAEL has recorded a net
profit of INR0.24 crore on an operating income of INR115.07 crore
as against INR0.20 crore of net profit on an operating income of
INR124.44 crore in FY 2010.
MILLENIUM MARBLES: CARE Assigns 'CARE BB' Rating to INR4cr Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE BB' and 'PR4' ratings to the bank facilities of
Millenium Marbles Pvt Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 4.00 'CARE BB' Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 4.00 'PR 4' Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings are constrained due to small scale of operations,
volatile profit margins, currency risk for imports and high
operating cycle. Besides, the rating is constrained by competition
from the unorganized sector and alternate tiling products,
cyclical nature of the end-user industry and tightly balanced cash
flows. Further, the dependence on imported marble which is subject
to Government regulations is a cause of concern. However, the
rating derives strengths from the established record of the
promoters, location of its showroom in commercial area i.e. Mumbai
and product catering to tiling sector which has good potential.
Ability to manage growth and working capital requirements without
any cash flow mismatches remain the key rating sensitivities.
MMPL started as Mansi Marble Private Limited in March 1999 and
subsequently got converted to MMPL in May 1999. The promoters of
the company have two decades of experience in the business.
MMPL is engaged in trading of polished marble, imported from
Europe and Middle East countries, primarily on wholesale basis
(around 90% of sales). The company sells its products from a
leased out showroom at Vile Parle (E), a suburb in western Mumbai
and has owned warehouse located at Silvasa. However, the company
has finalized the deal to purchase the showroom by June 2011. MMPL
has envisaged shifting its warehouse closer to Mumbai and has
acquired a land parcel at Bhayander a distant suburb in Mumbai.
PARISHUDH MACHINES: CARE Assigns 'CARE B+' Rating to INR2cr Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE B+' and 'PR4' ratings to the bank facilities of
Parishudh Machines Pvt. Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 6.50 'CARE B+' Assigned
Long-term/Short-term Bank 2.00 'CARE B+'/'PR4'
Facilities Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings are primarily constrained on account of stressed
liquidity position of Parishudh Machines Pvt. Ltd. leading to cash
flow mismatches during the past three years and risk associated
with the proposed project which is sizeable in nature and pending
financial closure for the same. The ratings are further
constrained by susceptibility of PMPL's margins to fluctuation in
raw material prices, customer concentration risk in an inherently
cyclical automobile component industry along with its exposure in
loss-making group companies. The above constraints far outweigh
the benefits derived from the promoters' wide experience and
PMPL's long-standing relationship with major customers in the auto
component industry. Increase in PMPL's scale of operations along
with greater diversification of revenue stream while managing risk
associated with fluctuation in raw material prices and improvement
in overall financial risk profile would remain the key rating
sensitivities.
Ghaziabad-based PMPL, incorporated in February 1987, is promoted
by Mr V. S. Goindi. It is engaged in manufacturing of
Computerised-Numerical-Control (CNC) turning and grinding machines
and automatic lathes, which are used in shaping, cutting and
finishing metal parts by the automobile and engineering
industries, with grinding machines being the main focus of the
company. PMPL also manufactures some automobile components.
PMPL earned a PAT of INR2.09 crore on a total income of INR32.61
crore in FY10 as against a net loss of Rs.1.26 crore on a total
income of INR44.49 crore during FY09. Furthermore, as per the
provisional results for 10MFY11, PMPL earned a PBT of INR2.55
crore on a total income of INR34.84 crore.
PARVATI INDUSTRIES: CARE Assigns 'CARE BB+' Rating to INR5cr Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE BB+' and 'PR4' RATINGS to the bank facilities
of Parvati Industries Pvt Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 27.70 'CARE BB+' Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 5.00 'PR 4' Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings are mainly constrained by the modest financial risk
profile of Parvati Industries Pvt Ltd marked by low profit
margins, modest solvency & debt coverage indicators and weak
liquidity position owing to the high working capital requirements.
Further, the susceptibility of its margins to volatility in raw
material prices and the inherent risks associated with the rice
industry like high degree of fragmentation, seasonality and
regulatory risk also constrain the ratings. The ratings, however,
favorably take into account the vast experience of the promoters
of PIPL in the rice industry and its established operations with
forward integration into extraction business. Increase in scale
of operations and improvement in the financial risk profile are
major key rating sensitivities.
Ahmedabad-based PIPL was constituted by Mr. Purushottam Patel and
his family as a partnership firm in September 1999. Subsequently
in April 2008, the firm was converted into a private limited
company. Mr. Purushottam Patel has experience of over three
decades in the rice industry. Currently he is retired and the
entire operations are managed by third generation of his family.
PIPL is engaged in manufacturing and trading of parboiled non-
basmati rice and extraction of Rice Bran Oil (RBO). PIPL has rice
milling capacity of 15MT per hour and 300 MT per day of rice bran
resulting in annual RBO production capacity of 10,800 MT.
During FY10, on total income of INR81.70 crore (FY09: INR46.36
crore), PIPL earned PAT of INR1.64 crore (FY09: INR0.44 crore). As
per provisional results for FY11, PIPL reported net sales of
INR120.50 crore.
PERUNDURAI GREEN: ICRA Assigns 'LBB' Rating to INR35cr Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned an 'LBB' rating to the INR35 crore term loan of
Perundurai Green Energy Private Limited. ICRA's rating factors in
the execution risks inherent in greenfield power projects,
including risks of cost and time overrun, as well as technological
risks, including the risk of non timely stabilization of the
company's 6.4 MW biomass project at Perundurai (Tamil Nadu), which
is based on the gasification technology which is relatively
untested in India for projects of such size. Further post
commissioning, the company will remain exposed to volatility in
prices of bio-mass and risks related to availability of bio-mass.
ICRA also notes that PPA is yet to be signed- management is
evaluating various options for power selling model and depending
on the option chosen. Thus, the company will remain exposed to
price and off-take risk, although these risks are partly mitigated
by prevailing power deficit scenario in state of Tamil Nadu.
The rating however favorably factors in the superior energy
efficiency of the chosen technology resulting in -30% lower
consumption on biomass compared to conventional combustion
technology thereby resulting in lower variable cost of generation.
The rating also draws comfort from the moderate leverage (2:1 debt
equity ratio which is satisfactory with respect to power plants),
long tenure of loans, ballooning structure of repayment with lower
initial liability and substantial time gap between planned date of
commissioning and repayment start date (~17 months) which provides
cushion for time overruns. ICRA has also derived comfort from
possibility of additional revenue streams from sale of activated
carbon, char, CERs (Certified Emission Reductions) and RECs
(Renewable Energy Certificates) income.
About Perundurai Green
Perundurai Green Energy Pvt Ltd, which is a 100% subsidiary of
All-Green India, is proposing to set-up a biomass plant of 6.4 MW
capacity in Perundurai district of Tamil Nadu. The project is
based on Biomass Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (BIGCC)
technology developed by Indian Institute of sciences and Producer
Gas Engines sourced from GE Janbacher. The project cost is INR53
crores and is being funded through INR35 crore and debt and
balance equity. The project is expected to be commissioned by
March 2012.
AllGreen Energy has been founded with objective to become one of
the leading players in the Indian Biomass market, through the
installation of 6.4 MW biomass gasification power plants using

biomass projects with -20 MW capacity and acquire -80 MW capacity
in first phase. Reliance Venture and GE has invested into the
Company along with AllGreen Energy PTE Ltd, Singapore and Promoter
Mr. Kamlesh Tejwani.
POLAR STAR: ICRA Assigns 'LBB-' Rating to INR28cr Bank Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned a long term rating of 'LBB-' and has reaffirmed
the short term rating of 'A4' to the INR28.00 Crore fund based
facilities of Polar Star. The limits are rated on both the scales
such that the total utilization should not exceed INR28 Crores at
any point of usage. The long-term rating has been assigned a
'Stable' outlook. The rating reaffirmation takes into account
PS's relatively modest scale of operations, low operating margin
due to the limited value addition in the business and highly
fragmented nature of the industry resulting in intense
competition. Despite improvement in profitability in FY 2010,
which is largely supported by exchange fluctuation gains, margins
remains exposed to the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates as
well as volatility in rough diamond prices. The rating, however,
favorably factors in the long experience of the partners in the
CPD business and comfortable gearing position at present.
About Polar Star
M/s Polar Star is a partnership firm established in 1989. The firm
is managed by five partners namely Mr. Anup P. Zaveri, Mr. Ashit
P. Zaveri, Mr. Smitesh S. Mehta and Mr. Sujit S. Mehta. PS is

its marketing office at Mumbai and a production facility at Surat.
PREMIER CARWORLD: CRISIL Puts 'B-' Rating on INR105MM Cash Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Stable/P4' ratings to the bank
facilities of Premier Carworld Pvt Ltd.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR105 Million Cash Credit B-/Stable (Assigned)
INR20 Million Bank Guarantee P4 (Assigned)
The ratings reflect PCPL's weak financial risk profile, marked by
small net worth, highly leveraged capital structure, and weak debt
protection metrics, and exposure to risk related to intense
competition in auto dealership business. These rating weaknesses
are partially offset by PCPL's association with Maruti Suzuki
India Ltd (MSIL; rated 'AAA/Stable/P1+' by CRISIL) and its
promoters' extensive experience in trading businesses.
CRISIL has treated INR50 million of unsecured loans received from
promoters' group companies, friends, and family as neither debt
nor equity, for assessing PCPL's financial risk profile. This is
based on a specific undertaking from the management to maintain
these funds in the business till the bank loans are repaid.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that PCPL will continue to benefit from its
association with MSIL and promoters' extensive experience in the
trading business, over the medium term. However, its financial
risk profile is constrained by its large debt-funded capital
expenditure and initial stage of operations. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' in case of a more-than-expected increase in
PCPL's revenues or cash accruals or equity infusion, leading to
improvement in financial risk profile. Conversely, the outlook may
be revised to 'Negative' in case of lower-than-expected accruals
or incremental working capital requirements, leading to
deterioration in financial risk profile.
About Premier Carworld
PCPL was set up in August 2010 by Mr. Ramesh Chand Agarwal. In
2010, the company was appointed as an authorised MSIL dealer. The
company commenced operations in March 2011 and has a 30,062
square-foot showroom under ownership and have warehousing facility
of 21,904 square foot, taken on rent from the promoter group
company in Kolkata, West Bengal. It also has a 50,585 square-foot
service centre in the nearby location on rent. The promoter has
been engaged in trading of mobiles, pens, digital cameras, dish
TV, BSNL products and other consumer goods in West Bengal over the
past two decades.
SREE KUMAR: CRISIL Reaffirms 'B-' Rating on INR74.4MM Term Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of Sree Kumar Agro Oils
Pvt Ltd continue to reflect Sree Kumar's weak financial risk
profile, marked by a high gearing and weak debt protection
metrics, modest scale of operations in the intensely competitive
edible oils industry, and product concentrated revenue profile.
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the Sree Kumar's
experienced management team.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR60.00 Million Cash Credit B-/Negative (Reaffirmed)
INR74.40 Million Term Loan B-/Negative (Reaffirmed)
INR0.60 Million Bank Guarantee P4 (Reaffirmed)
Outlook: Negative
CRISIL believes that Sree Kumar will continue to face pressure on
its liquidity over the near term because of the company's low
operating margin and hence, low cash accruals. The ratings may be
downgraded if there is a sharp decline in Sree Kumar's revenues or
operating margin, most likely because of lower-than-expected
production level because of raw material availability issues.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Stable' in case of
sustained improvement in the company's financial risk profile,
most likely driven by increased revenues, more-than-expected cash
accruals, and comfortable liquidity.
About Sree Kumar
Incorporated in December 2006, Sree Kumar commenced commercial
production in October 2008. It manufactures rice bran oil and de-
oiled rice bran at its solvent extraction plant at Jakkaram
village, near Bhimavaram (Andhra Pradesh). The company has rice
bran processing capacity of 350 tonnes per day (tpd) and refining
capacity of 100 tpd.
Sree Kumar reported a profit after tax of INR7.2 million on net
sales of INR430.9 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against net loss of INR4.0 million on net
sales of INR158.1 million for 2008-09. Sree Kumar's estimated
revenues for 2010-11 are about INR593 million.
TAURUS FLEXIBLES: CRISIL Assigns 'B-' Rating to INR13.2MM Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Stable' rating to the bank facilities
of Taurus Flexibles Pvt Ltd (TFPL; part of the Taurus group).
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR260.9 Million Cash Credit B-/Stable (Assigned)
INR13.2 Million Term Loan B-/Stable (Assigned)
INR30.0 Million Corporate Loan B-/Stable (Assigned)
The ratings reflect the Taurus group's weak financial risk
profile, marked by low net worth, weak debt protection metrics and
liquidity, and its working-capital-intensive operations. These
rating weaknesses are partially offset by Taurus group's
promoter's established relationships with major original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs).
For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of Taurus Flexibles Pvt Ltd (TFPL) and
Indo Australian Hose Manufacturing Pvt Ltd (IAHMPL), together
referred to as the Taurus group, herein. This is because TFPL and
IAHMPL have a common management team and have significant
operational and financial linkages.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that the Taurus group will maintain its credit
risk profile, backed by its promoter's established relationships
with major OEMs. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the
group's liquidity improves as a result of better working capital
management, along with a sustained improvement in its financial
risk profile. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative'
in case the group reports lower-than-expected revenues or
profitability, or in case of stretch in working capital, leading
to deterioration in liquidity or financial risk profile.
About Taurus Flexibles
The Taurus group is into manufacturing of hose assemblies and
nylon tubes for OEMs in India and abroad. The group is currently
managed by Mr. Bhuvan Kshettry and Mr. Rishi Kshettry. The group's

Pantnagar (Gujarat) and expand the manufacturing capacity at its
Pune plant.
The Taurus group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR49.5
million on net sales of INR1106.3 million for 2009-10 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), as against a negative PAT of
INR7 million on net sales of INR769.9 million for 2008-09.
VINEET EXPORTS: CRISIL Reaffirms 'P4' Rating on INR20MM Bank Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Vineet Exports Pvt Ltd
continues to reflect Vineet's average operating efficiency, marked
by low profitability and average scale of operations, small net
worth, and customer concentrated revenue profile. These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by the experience of Vineet's
promoters in the iron ore trading business and the company's
moderate total outside liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and
debt protection metrics.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------

DIRGANTARA INDONESIA: Government to Inject IDR5 Trillion in Funds
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ANTARA News reports that Industry Minister MS Hidayat said the
Indonesian government is planning to inject around IDR5.1 trillion
in funds to PT Dirgantara Indonesia.
"It (the plan) is still under process," the news agency quotes
Mr. Hidayat as saying.
According to ANTARA, the proposed capital injection will come in
the form of state capital placement in which the government will
turn the state aircraft maker's debts into state capital.
Mr. Hidayat said he had submitted a proposal for capital injection
to the House of Representatives Commission VI and the Finance
Ministry was currently studying the proposal, ANTARA relates.
"PT DI must be restructured first to make it bankable so it can
carry out production without past burden," Mr. Hidayat said.
He expressed optimism that if the company had been restructured it
would be able to produce commercial planes which had high
competitive edge, ANTARA News adds.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Dec. 15, 2009, The Jakarta Post said PT Dirgantara Indonesia was
seeking to restructure debts related to loans obtained under the
Investment Account Fund and Subsidiary Loan Agreement. PT DI
president director Budiman Sales said its unpaid debts under the
SLA and RDI facilities totaled IDR1.6 trillion. The company would
propose that the government convert the debt to equity in the
already 100-percent state owned company, Mr. Sales added.
About Dirgantara Indonesia
PT Dirgantara Indonesia -- http://www.indonesian-aerospace.com/--
is an Indonesian aerospace company in Asia with core competence in
aircraft design, development and manufacture of civilian and
military regional commuter aircraft. In its production line,
Dirgantara Indonesia has delivered more than 300 units of
aircraft and helicopters, defense system, aircraft components
and other services.
According to press reports, the company was not able to fully
recover from the 1998 Asian financial crisis, and has sought
government help to turn its business around. It has urged the
government to support the industry by purchasing aircraft from
PT DI, and is currently marketing its products to neighboring
countries in the region.
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Sept. 7, 2007, the commercial court declared Dirgantara
Indonesia bankrupt at the request of some of the aircraft
maker's dismissed workers, in a bid to extract retirement funds.
The court declared victory of the claim of Dirgantara Indonesia
Employees' Communication Forum Trade Union by affirming
bankruptcy of the company, the TCR-AP reported, citing Arif
Minardi, general chairman of the trade union as saying.
On Oct. 29, 2007, the TCR-AP reported that the Indonesian
Supreme Court accepted an appeal filed by PT Dirgantara
Indonesia over the Commercial Court's bankruptcy ruling.
Supreme Court Judge Mariana Sutadi Mariana said the appeal was
accepted because the former employees had no legal right to file
an insolvency petition against a public company wholly owned by
the government, The Jakarta Post related. Under the existing
bankruptcy law, the finance minister is the only party that is
allowed to take a state-owned company to the bankruptcy court,
the report explains.
PT BANK PAN: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Rating at 'BB'
--------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has revised PT Bank Pan Indonesia Tbk's Outlook to
Stable from Positive and affirmed its Long-Term Foreign Currency
Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BB'.
The Outlook revision to Stable reflects Panin's weakening asset
quality due to higher non-performing loans (NPLs) than Fitch's
expectations as a result of aggressive corporate lending and lower
provisioning compared with peers. However, the bank's ratings
remain underpinned by its satisfactory capital position and
stronger profitability achieved in 2010.
Its NPLs rose to 4.4% of total loans at end-2010 (2009: 3.2%)
while special mention and structured loans dropped to 3.1% and
5.1%, respectively (7% and 7.2%). Although reduced by rapid loan
growth, its total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 18.4% at end-
2010 (23.9%) was far above the regulatory minimum of 8%. Its
Tier 1 CAR was 16.1% at end-2010 (20.6%). Fitch believes that the
bank's relatively satisfactory capital position should provide
sufficient buffer against an increase in NPLs. Due to its focus on
secured lending, Panin's provision cover was low at 65.8% of NPLs
at end-2010, compared with 88.9% at end-2009 and the peer average
of 150% at end-2010.
Panin was established in 1971 by the Gunawan family, who remains
in control of the bank through a 44.68% stake held by PT Panin
Financial Tbk. ANZ acquired a 29% stake in 1999, which was raised
to 38.2% in 2009.
Panin's full rating breakdown:
-- Long-Term Foreign Currency IDR affirmed at 'BB'; Outlook
revised to Stable from Positive
-- National Long-term Rating affirmed at 'AA(idn)'; Outlook
Stable
-- Individual Rating affirmed at 'C/D'
-- Support Rating affirmed at '3'
-- Senior rupiah-denominated debt affirmed at 'AA(idn)'
-- Subordinated rupiah-denominated debt issued in 2008 with no
deferral clauses affirmed at 'AA-(idn)'
-- Subordinated rupiah-denominated debt issued in 2010 with
deferral clauses affirmed at 'A+(idn)'

-------------------------------------------------------
Yonhap News reports that Kumho Asiana Group said Tuesday it is in
talks with its creditors to spin off and sell the express bus
division of Kumho Industrial Co. to improve its financial
structure.
"As part of efforts to improve our financial health, we are in
talks with our creditors to sell the division," an official at
Kumho Asiana Group told Yonhap. "However, details of the sale
have yet to be determined."
Kumho Industrial, the construction arm of Kumho Asiana Group, has

unit.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Feb. 17, 2011, Korea Development Bank is seeking to sell 37.6%
stake in Korea Express in a bid to wrap up the restructuring of
the group. Last year, KDB, a state-run lender, took over Daewoo
Engineering & Construction Co. in an effort to speed up the
normalization of the conglomerate, which is under a creditors-led
debt rescheduling program.
Bloomberg News reported that Kumho Asiana Group said Jan. 5, 2010,
that it plans to raise KRW1.3 trillion from asset sales to help
repay debt stemming from the 2006 takeover of Daewoo Engineering.
The group has already sold assets and lost control of units,
including Daewoo Engineering, Kumho Industrial Co., and Kumho Tire
Co. to creditors.

KUMHO ASIANA: Samsung SDS Joins POSCO in Korea Express Stake Bid
----------------------------------------------------------------
Yonhap News reports that Samsung SDS Co., an information
technology service unit of South Korea's largest industrial group,
said Thursday that it will partner with steel giant POSCO to bid
for a stake in Korea Express.
Yonhap relates that Samsung SDS will join the consortium of POSCO
to buy a 5% stake in Korea Express, it said in a regulatory
filing. The financial terms were not disclosed, Yonhap notes.
Meanwhile, The Korea Times reports that creditors of Korea Express
are likely to pick the preferred bidder next week to acquire the
logistics firm in their efforts to wrap up the delayed deal as
early as August.
Korea Times, citing industry sources, says creditors led by Korea
Development Bank concluded that they will end the bidding Monday
and notified the three preliminary bidders - POSCO, CJ Group and
Lotte Group.
The creditors intend to name the preferred bidder within three
days, which puts the sale on track for completion in late August
or early September, Korea Times adds.

PIKE RIVER: Receiver Shows Concern Over Liquidation
---------------------------------------------------
9news reports that Pike River Coal Ltd receiver said that moves by
contractors to have the company placed into receivership could be
detrimental to the value received from the sale of the mine.
The West Coast mine has been closed since explosions ripped
through it last November killing 29 men, 9news recalls. Pike
River Coal was placed in receivership after the tragedy, and now
the Pike River contractors and suppliers group, whose members are
owed $NZ5 million ($A3.85 million) by the company, are to file a
court action to have the company placed into liquidation,
according to 9news.
9news says that Mr. Fisk said he had been discussing the prospect
of liquidation with the contractors for a couple of months.
However, 9news notes, liquidation would not change anything about
the process the receivers were going through to realize Pike
River's assets. It also would not make any more money available
or change the timing of when unsecured creditors might get paid,
Mr. Fisk told RadioNZ, the report relates.
About Pike River
Pike River Coal Limited (NZE:PRC) -- http://www.pike.co.nz/-- is
a New Zealand-based coal mining company. The Company, along with
its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the exploration,
evaluation, development and production of coal. It operates a
coal mine that lies under the Paparoa Ranges.
Pike River Coal Ltd, the company that operates the coal mine where
29 miners died in a series of explosions in November 2010, was
placed into receivership in December 2010. New Zealand Oil & Gas,
the company's largest shareholder, appointed accountants
PricewaterhouseCoopers as receivers. The company owed NZ$80
million to secured creditors BNZ and NZ Oil & Gas. Pike River
also owed another estimated NZ$10 million to NZ$15 million to
contractors, including some of the men who lost their lives in the
disaster.

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.
