METAL STORM: Andrew Doyle Increases Investment to $200,000
----------------------------------------------------------
Metal Storm Limited, on Oct, 17, 2011, announced it had agreed to
issue two types of convertible notes to investors to raise
$1 million. One of those investors was Mr. Andrew Doyle, who
agreed to subscribe for $100,000 of the second type of
convertible notes described on page three of that announcement.
The Company is pleased to announce that Mr. Doyle has agreed to
increase the amount of his investment to $200,000. The Company
will now issue Mr. Doyle with convertible securities instead of
convertible notes, with the key difference being the securities
do not impose a debt obligation on the Company; that is, they are
not repayable in cash under any circumstances.
The convertible securities have a 5-year term and convert to
shares at a conversion price that is the lower of:
(a) $0.0025;
(b) the average of the five lowest daily VWAPs of Shares
in the 20 Business Days immediately prior to the date
the conversion notice is given, multiplied by 90% and
rounded down to four decimal places; or
(c) 90% of the closing bid price for Shares on the date
immediately prior to the date the conversion notice is
given, rounded down to four decimal places.
Mr. Doyle remains the largest individual shareholder of the
Company and the second largest interest bearing convertible note
holder. He participated in the recent Rights Issue and he has
advised the Company he is supportive of the Company, its focus
and strategic direction.

CHINA EDUCATION: Receives Delisting Notice From NYSE
----------------------------------------------------
China Education Alliance, Inc. disclosed on Dec. 21, 2011, that
NYSE Regulation, Inc. delivered a notice to the company
confirming that the exchange will suspend trading of the
company's common stock on the NYSE prior to the opening of
business on Thursday, Dec. 29, 2011 and that the exchange intends
to delist the company's common stock. The Company expects to
commence trading on the over-the-counter (OTC) market that same
day under a symbol yet to be determined.
Mr. Yu Xiqun, CEO of China Education Alliance commented: "We are
very disappointed with the NYSE's decision to suspend trading and
delist our shares. Since the onset of the unfounded allegations
a year ago, we have at all times kept our doors open to all
shareholders who have wanted to research our business in China
and have made ourselves available to help investors correctly
understand our business. We have held two Annual General
Meetings to discuss the future development goals and strategic
plans of the Company. We have refused to be intimidated by
rumors, none of which have proved true in more than one year.
Our business performance has been recovering and our future
prospects remains strong.
"As of Sept. 30, 2011, we achieved USD26.3 million in revenue and
US$18.4 million of profit. We strongly believe our stock price
and market value do not correctly reflect the performance and
future prospects of our Company.
This is a time of rapid evolution in the Chinese education sector
with many opportunities. We will continue to focus on our
business operations and further expansion plans."

AEROBOK SHOE: ICRA Assigns '[ICRA]BB' Rating to INR17cr Bank Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned a long term rating of '[ICRA]BB' to the INR17.0
crore Fund Based bank limits of Aerobok Shoe Private Limited.
The long term rating has been assigned a "stable" outlook. ICRA
has also assigned an '[ICRA]A4' rating to the INR5.0 crore Non-
Fund Based bank limits of ASPL.
The ratings draw comfort from ASPL's long track record in the
footwear business, its experienced management team and its
established position in the Indian Footwear industry supported by
a strong distribution network. The ratings are, however,
constrained by ASPL's modest scale of operations, its weak
financial profile and stiff competition prevalent in the Indian
footwear industry from a large number of competitors as well as
substitutable products. The ratings are also tempered by the
vulnerability of its profits to fluctuations in raw material
prices and the inability to pass-on the same to the end
customers; and the high working capital intensity resulting in
its moderate liquidity position. Going forward, ASPL's ability
to increase its scale of operations while improving its
profitability and capital structure will be amongst the key
rating sensitivity factors.
About Aerobok Shoes
Aerobok Shoes Private Limited was set up in the year 1994 and is
one of the leading players in the Indian Footwear Industry. The
company is as private limited company, closely held by the
promoters of the group. The directors in the company include Mr.

The company's product portfolio includes Hawai rubber slippers,
lightweight slippers (EVA and PU) and sports shoes and it is
amongst the key player in the organized slippers segment with
established presence pan India. Its products are established in
almost all the customer segments and some of its product brands
include Aqualite, Aircare, Gurukul, Casuals, Monsoon and Mazza.
Amongst these, its brands like Aqualite, Real-PU and Aircare are
very well established and compete with the other established
brands from competitors. ASPL has its own manufacturing
facilities for production of light-weight EVA and PU slippers,
Hawaii chappals and sports shoes in Bahadurgarh, Haryana.
Recent Results:
In FY10, the company reported a net profit of INR0.29 crore on a
turnover of INR27.91 crore. Further, in FY11, ASPL reported a
profit after tax (PAT) of INR0.75 crore on a turnover of
INR41.04 crore.
AIR INDIA: Gets Show Cause Notice Over Expat Mishap Report
----------------------------------------------------------
The Times of India reports that the Directorate General of Civil
Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show cause notice to Air India Ltd
for making a wrong claim that one its foreign pilots had not been
involved in any mishap seeking to extend his service.
According to the report, the regulator found that the pilot had
been involved with a mishap while operating an AI flight in
Frankfurt, a fact not disclosed by the airline while seeking
extension. It has now decided to suspend the pilot's foreign air
crew temporary authorization that allows him to serve in India
besides seeking an explanation from the airline, the report says.
The Times of India relates that AI had requested for extension of
FATA for the expat pilot beyond July 31, 2011. "The general
manager (operations) sent a no-incident-no-accident report for
the pilot. On the basis of that report the FATA was extended till
December 4. During an inquiry, we found that the pilot was
involved in a mishap in Frankfurt last year. The plane did not
stop in time to align with the aerobridge and there was a
collision with the aerobridge. The pilot's FATA is being
cancelled and an explanation has been sought from AI," the report
quotes a senior official as saying.
Admitting the error, the report notes, an AI spokesperson said
that seeking a no-mishap certificate for extending FATA was a new
requirement imposed by the DGCA. "We were seeking extension of
FATA for 50 of our pilots. Since we were pressed for time and the
condition of giving a no-mishap letter was a new one, we gave the
same for all our pilots. Later we ourselves found that one of the
pilots was involved in a mishap and we informed the DGCA," the
spokesperson, as cited by TOI, said.
The airline added that a warning letter has been issued to the
junior officer who has to go through records of pilots before
giving any letter like a no-mishap certificate for them. The
pilot has been asked to undergo corrective training, the report
relays. While AI may claim that this was a genuine oversight, the
fact is that aviation authorities are not leaving anything to
chance when it comes to checking the background of pilots ever
since last November's chance discovery of fake pilots, adds TOI.

ALVI TECH: ICRA Assigns '[ICRA]BB-' Rating to INR6cr Bank Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned an '[ICRA]BB-' rating to the INR6.00 Crore fund
based bank facilities and '[ICRA]A4' rating to INR3.50 Crore non
fund based bank limits of Alvi Tech Services Private limited.
ICRA has also assigned [ICRA]BB-/[ICRA]A4 ratings to INR0.50
Crore untied limits of ATSPL. The outlook on long term rating is
'Stable'.
The ratings are constrained by ATSPL's modest scale of operations
and weak financial profile characterized by low profitability and
stretched liquidity as reflected in high fund based utilization
levels. ICRA also takes into account the susceptibility of
revenues to the uncertainties involved in the bidding process in
the tender based business given the highly competitive and
fragmented industry segment in which it operates. The rating
however considers ATSPL's established client base and experienced
management with the reasonable track record in engineering
business.
About Alvi Tech

company. ATSPL is engaged in the business of engineering,
erection, commissioning and construction of electrical and

Recent Results:

income of INR13.50 Crore for the year ending March 31, 2011.
COROMANDEL AGRO: ICRA Reaffirm '[ICRA]BB+' Long Term Loan Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has reaffirmed the '[ICRA]BB+' rating to INR9.90 crore long
term fund based bank lines of Coromandel Agro Products and Oil
Limited. ICRA has also reaffirmed the '[ICRA]A4+' rating to
INR0.1 crore non-fund based short term bank lines of the company.
The outlook on long term is stable.
The ratings reaffirmation factors in the intense competition in
the edible oil industry and reduction in export duty on RBD palm
oil (refined, bleached and deodorized palm oil) in Indonesia from
15% to 8% which would lower realizations on cotton oil since palm
oil is a cheaper substitute. The ratings also factor in the
modest margins and return indicators and exposure to fluctuations
in availability of cotton seed, which limits earning visibility.
The ratings however, draw comfort from the strong revenue growth,
improvement in operating margins led by higher realizations and
better cotton seed availability due to record cotton production
in FY11. The ratings also take into account doubling of capacity
from 20 MT/day to 40 MT/day for delinted seeds which would
provide additional revenues in the offseason, more than 3 decade
experience of the promoters and a diversified product portfolio
which include linters, hulls, deoiled cake and cotton seed oil.

E I TECHNOLOGIES: ICRA Rates INR10.5cr Bank Loan at '[ICRA] BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned the long term rating of '[ICRA] BB+' to
INR10.50 crore fund based bank facilities and '[ICRA] A4+' to the
Rs 0.75 crore short term bank facilities of E I Technologies
Private Limited. The outlook on the long term rating is Stable.
The ratings draw comfort from EIT's diversified services profile
with expertise in water resource management and highway
engineering, strong financial profile as reflected in healthy
debt coverage ratios - Debt /OPBITDA - of 0.14 times in FY2010-11
and low gearing of 0.14 times as on March 31, 2011. The gearing
is however expected to increase on account of large debt funded
capital expenditure being incurred for setting up 1 megawatt (MW)
solar power project. We draw comfort from the debt free
consultancy business with stable revenues and healthy operating
margin of 32% in FY2010-11 that can be utilised for timely debt
servicing. The rating also draws comfort from the low execution
risks of the solar power project as the project is in advanced
stages and commissioning is scheduled for Dec 31, 2011.
The ratings are however constrained by the company's modest scale
of operations with turnover of INR12.7 crore in FY2010-11 which
limits its capacity to bid for and execute large projects.
Moreover, EIT is exposed to customer concentration risk as the
top two clients account for more than half of its turnover. This
risk is reflected in the current order book of the company as
well. The rating also reflects the fact that any delay in
receivables from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited might strain
the debt servicing capacity of the company
About EI Technologies
EI Technologies Private Limited was set up in Sep 2008 to deliver
technology enabled business solutions in Civil, Electrical,
Design & Telecom infrastructure projects. The key areas of
operations are Water Resource Management, Highway Engineering and
Project Management Consultancy. The company has recently been
appointed as design detailed engineering and Project Management
Consultants for the development of the infrastructural facilities
for the 500 MW solar park being set up by the Gujarat Power
Corporation Limited in Charanka Village. As part of the Phase-I
of the project comprising 250MW EIT is setting up a 1MW solar
power plant at a cost of around INR 13.5crore financed by debt
equity in the ratio 1.7:1; Term loan of INR 8.50 crore has been
tied up with State Bank of India. The land was bought from the
government at a cost of INR 60 lacs; civil work has been
completed, solar panels have been imported from Solar Frontier,
Japan and available at the site. EIT has appointed AEG Power
Solutions as EPC contractor for setting up the plant and to
undertake O&M. Panel installation and commissioning is under
process and the power generation of the entire Phase-I will start
from Dec. 31, 2011.
EIT has entered into a 25 years Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
with GUVNL with feed in tariff of INR15 per unit for first 12
years and at INR5 per unit thereafter. Power evacuation is
planned and will be executed by Gujarat Energy Transmission
Corporation Limited.
GANESH HOUSING: ICRA Cuts Rating on INR150cr Loan to '[ICRA]BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has revised the rating assigned to the INR150 Crores fund-
based limits of Ganesh Housing Corporation Ltd. from LBBB to
'[ICRA]BB+'. The outlook on the long-term rating is negative.
The rating action takes into account GHCL's debt-funded
acquisition of land for its township project which has translated
into high debt repayment burden on the company relative to its
cash accruals in the past. Though GHCL plans to fund its debt
obligations through the customer advances from its future
residential projects, most of these projects have recently been
launched and are mostly unsold as on date. Moreover, ICRA factors
in the fact that the company has to write down SEZ land sales of
INR160 Crores which was made to Abir Investments in FY2009.
Though GHCL plans to write down this land sale in a phase-wise
manner against profits from other projects/sale of land, ICRA
expects the company's profits and accruals to remain subdued in
the short to medium term on account of the same. Nevertheless,
rating derives comfort from the company's low cost land bank and
its established presence in the Ahmedabad real estate market.
Moreover, ICRA also favorably factors in low debt requirements
for the company's residential projects which are funded solely
through customer advances/internal accruals. ICRA however notes
that the company's township project is in early stages which
expose it to cost overruns; such overruns if funded by debt can
further deteriorate the capital structure in the company. Going
forward, ability of the company to generate enough cash accruals
from its projects/land sales for meeting its debt obligations
while maintaining profitability will remain the key rating
sensitivity.
About Ganesh Housing
Ganesh Housing Corporation Limited is a public limited company
engaged in construction of residential projects in and around
Ahmedabad. GHCL was incorporated in 1991and is promoted by Mr.
Shekhar Patel and his family.
In FY2011, GHCL has posted a turnover of INR 167.4 Crores and a
profit after tax of INR59.8 Crores on a consolidated basis.
GOWTHAMI SOLVENT: ICRA Revises Rating on INR25.44cr Loan to 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has revised the long-term rating from '[ICRA]BB' to
'[ICRA]BB-' to the INR25.44 crore term loan facilities, INR21.00
crore fund based bank facilities and INR5.78 crore of proposed
limits of The Gowthami Solvent Oils Limited. The outlook on the
long term rating is stable. ICRA has also reaffirmed the short-
term rating of '[ICRA]A4' to the INR2.10 crore non-fund based
bank facilities of TGSOL.
The revision in ratings consider the anticipated pressure on
margins and capital structure during the current fiscal given the
challenging demand scenario in spinning industry and maturing
large debt repayment obligations. The rating considers the
increased focus towards spinning division which is currently in a
downward trend and the intense competition in a fragmented
spinning industry which restricts pricing flexibility and
bargaining power. The ratings also reflect the company's
relatively small scale of operations in the rice bran solvent
extraction and spinning operations, fragmented nature of the
domestic edible oil industry with availability of several grades
of edible oils, intense competition from larger and well-
established players in the branded segment, threat from cheaper
substitutes (particularly palm oil), limited market presence and
exposure to cyclicality of feedstock leading to constraints in
passing on cost variations to its customers resulting in
volatility in profit margins. The ratings also factor in the weak
profitability in the oil processing business, stretched financial
profile characterized by high gearing and low coverage
indicators. Nevertheless, the prospects of rice bran oil (RBO) is
favorable owing to its significant health benefits, competitive
pricing as compared to other edible oils such as soyabean and
sunflower.
About Gowthami Solvent
The Gowthami Solvent Oils Limited was incorporated in 1974 by the
Gowthami Group of Companies as a solvent extractor of sunflower
and rice bran oil (RBO) with a capacity of 400 tons per day
(tpd). The company also has a crude oil refinery for further
value addition with a refining capacity of 60 tpd. The company
also has a 2.75 MW co-generation biomass power plant and 43,200
spindle cotton spinning facility. The facilities of TGSOL are
located in Tanuku (Andhra Pradesh).
Recent Results
TGSOL reported net profit of INR9.8 crore on operating income of
INR157.0 crore during 2010-11 against net profit of INR7.7 crore
on operating income of INR127.4 crore during 2009-10.
KESAR COTTON: ICRA Assigns '[ICRA]B' Rating to INR7cr Cash Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned an '[ICRA]B' rating to INR7.00 crore fund based
cash credit facilities and INR0.66 crore term loan facilities of
Kesar Cotton Private Limited.
The assigned rating is constrained by KCPL's relatively small
scale of operations with weak financial profile as reflected by
low profitability, highly leveraged capital structure on account
of working capital intensive ginning industry and consequently
weak debt protection indicators. The rating also takes into
account the low value addition, absence of refining facilities
and intense competition on account of fragmented cotton industry
which exerts further pressure on profitability. The rating
further incorporates the vulnerability of profitability to
fluctuations in raw material prices given the high inventory
levels maintained by the company.
The rating, however, favorably considers the long experience of
the promoters in the cotton ginning and pressing business,
favorable location of the firm giving it easy access to high
quality raw cotton as well as positive outlook for cotton and
cotton seed demand.
About Kesar Cotton
Kesar Cotton Private Limited was incorporated in 2007 by
Mr. Rajesh K Mehta and Mr. Yogesh K Mehta, and four other family
members as shareholders. It had set up a unit for cotton ginning,
pressing and cottonseeds crushing at Kuber Baugh Road, Mahuva
with 18 ginning machines and 1 pressing machine for producing FP
(fully pressed) bales and 3 expellers for cottonseeds crushing
(started operation from Sept. 2010) with the annual capacity of
3640 MT of S-6 cotton bales and 468 MT of cottonseed oil
respectively. Recent Results For the year ended March 31, 2011,
the company reported an operating income of INR22.76 crore and
profit after tax of
INR0.06 crore.
P.C. PATEL: ICRA Reaffirms '[ICRA]BB+' Cash Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
The rating of '[ICRA]BB+' has been reaffirmed for the INR10.00
crore1 (enhanced from INR6.00 crore) cash credit facilities of
P.C.Patel & Co. The outlook on the long term rating is stable.
The rating of '[ICRA]A4+' has been reaffirmed for the INR16.00
crore short term non fund based bank guarantee limits of PCP.
The ratings continue to remain constrained on account of moderate
revenue visibility in the medium to long term with lower order
book position as no new contracts have been won by the firm
during the last one year; single mineral concentration in lignite
mining in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat and elevated
gearing levels on account of significant capital expenditure
during last few years for purchasing equipments for executing the
contracts. The ratings also factor in the expected decline in
revenues in FY 2012 on account of slow progress in execution of
works on one of its major contracts; vulnerability of
profitability to diesel price variation in case of diesel usage
being higher than the allowed levels, regulatory risks associated
with mining operations and presence of LD (Liquidated Damage)
clauses in all contracts making it critical to achieve the
monthly mining quantities. The ratings are further constrained by
the partnership nature of the firm whereby any substantial
capital withdrawals from the capital account can adversely affect
the capital structure.
The ratings however reflect the established position of the firm
with more than 20 years of experience in overburden removal and
lignite mining services, moderate entry barriers for new players
on account of stringent technical and financial qualification
criteria and moderate outlook for the coal/lignite mining sector
due to the significant capacity additions proposed for thermal
based power generation which translates into favorable business
potential for mining service providers. The ratings also take
into account moderate financial profile characterized by healthy
growth in revenues, healthy profitability margins and debt
service indicators and moderate order book size consisting of
contracts from reputed clientele.
About P.C. Patel
P.C. Patel & Co. is a partnership concern established in the year
1994 and is engaged in overburden removal and lignite excavation

year 2009-10. During H1 FY 2012 (provisional results), PCP
reported an operating income of INR55.33 Cr. and profit before
tax of INR6.09 Cr.
PSP FARMS: ICRA Cuts Rating on INR7.43cr Loan to '[ICRA]D'
----------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has revised the long term outstanding on INR7.43 crore term
loan facilities and INR3.88 crore long term fund based facilities
of PSP Farms Private Limited from '[ICRA]B+' to '[ICRA]D'.
The rating downgrade reflects delays in debt servicing by PFPL
due to tight liquidity conditions. The Company's financial
profile is characterized by stretched capitalization and coverage
indicators and tight liquidity conditions. The poultry business
is characterized by risks associated with disease outbreaks,
timeliness of which cannot be predicted and low entry barriers.
ICRA also takes note of the significant experience of the
promoter in Poultry business, strong supply chain of the company
with in house feed manufacturing facility and the locational
advantage of being in Namakkal (Tamil Nadu), a major market for
poultry products in the country.

SHIVRAM SYNTHETICS: ICRA Rates INR7cr LT Loan at '[ICRA]B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned a long term rating of '[ICRA]B+' to the INR7
crore fund based limits of Shivram Synthetics Pvt. Ltd.
The assigned rating takes into account the modest scale of
operations of Shivram Synthetics Private Limited (SSPL); intense
competition within the fragmented synthetic fabrics industry and
high gearing levels of 2.44 times due to debt funded capital
expenditure. The rating is also constrained by the company's
modest debt coverage indicators because of high interest expense
and substantial repayment of loans in the next 3 years.
The rating, however, draws comfort from the long track record and
extensive experience (of more than a decade) of the promoters in
the textile industry; and favourable location of the weaving
facilities, which provides easy accessibility to raw materials
and processing houses. The rating also factors in the reputed
customer base of the company, which lowers the receivable risk
for its contractual work.
In ICRA's view, the key rating sensitivities are improvement in
the scale of operation and in the capital structure of the
company.
About Shivram Synthetics
SSPL is a Bhilwara based textile company which was incorporated
on 12th August, 2008 under companies Act, 1956. The company's
main objective is to manufacture and trade in synthetic fabrics.

SAH POLYMERS: ICRA Assigns '[ICRA]BB+' Rating to INR11cr LT Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
The rating of '[ICRA]BB+' has been assigned to the INR11 crore
long-term fund-based facilities of Sah Polymers Limited; the
outlook on the rating is Stable.
The rating factors in the small scale of operations with a modest
production capacity leading to low economies of scale, although
the expansion project will lead to an increase in the scale of
operations; the highly competitive industry structure with low
entry barriers and limited product differentiation; vulnerability
of profitability to fluctuations in polymer prices; weak
bargaining power with customers and suppliers; high customer and
supplier concentration risks; and the working capital intensive
nature of the business leading to a weak liquidity position, as
reflected by the high utilisation of working capital limits. The
rating also considers the established track record of the
promoters in the poly-woven sacks industry; favorable demand
prospects for the company's products from the cement and
fertiliser sectors; proximity of the manufacturing unit to
customers in the cement, textile and fertiliser industries in
Rajasthan; and the healthy capital structure and debt coverage
indicators. ICRA notes that the debt-funded expansion project and
higher working capital borrowings will lead to an increase in
gearing in the near-to-medium term, thereby impacting coverage
indicators. The ability of the company to protect its margins
while achieving satisfactory capacity utilisation levels for its
expanded capacity, thereby maintaining its return indicators will
be the key rating sensitivities going forward.

density polyethylene (HDPE) / polypropylene (PP) woven fabrics

11.
SRINIVASA ENTERPRISES: ICRA Rates INR11.5cr Loan at ' ICRA]BB'
--------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned a long term rating of '[ICRA]BB' and short term
rating of '[ICRA]A4' for INR11.50 crore bank limits of Srinivasa
Enterprises. The long term rating carries a stable outlook.
The assigned ratings are constrained by small scale of operations
and highly competitive nature of the civil construction industry
restricting the operating margins; vulnerability of the operating
margins to raw material price variations; and high geographic
concentration risk with 100% of orders emanating from Karnataka.
The ratings are further constrained by risks inherent in the
partnership constitution of the firm such as limited ability to
raise capital and risk of dissolution on death/insolvency of
partners. However, the ratings factor in the experienced
management; strong growth in operating income albeit on a small
base; and good visibility for revenue in the near term as
reflected by order book position of 1.68 times of FY2011
operating income.
Founded in 2001 as a partnership firm by Mr. N. Rambabu & Mr. B.
Jeevan Kishore, the firm is executing civil construction works
for public sector entities in the Karnataka state. SE is managed
by partners supported by qualified and experienced team of more

SRI SANTHALAKSHMI: ICRA Places [ICRA]B+ Rating on INR0.15cr Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned a long-term rating of '[ICRA]B+' to the INR0.15
crore term loan facilities, INR12.00 crore fund based facilities
and INR2.60 crore unallocated facilities of Sri Santhalakshmi
Mills Private Limited. ICRA has also assigned a short-term rating
of '[ICRA]A4' to the INR1.25 crore fund based bank facilities
and INR3.00 crore sublimit facilities of the Company.
The assigned ratings considers the experience of the promoters in
textile industry and well-integrated nature of operations at
group level spanning from ginning to weaving lending stability to
volumes and revenues. The ratings also factor in the Company's
financial profile characterized by thin profit margins, high
working capital intensity, stretched gearing, and weak coverage
indicators. The ratings also consider the volatile movement in
cotton prices, expected pressure on margins in the short to
medium term owing to tumultuous operating environment and the
fragmented nature of industry which restricts pricing
flexibility. While the company's revenue growth during the
current fiscal is expected to be healthy, the margins are
expected to remain lower owing to pricing pressure.
About Sri Santhalakshmi
Sri Santhalakshmi Mills Private Limited, was incorporated in 1989
in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. The Company is engaged in the operations
of ginning and pressing of extra long staple and hybrid cotton

reported a profit before tax of INR0.8 crore on an operating
income of INR31.5 crore.
V PONNUSAMY: ICRA Cuts Rating on INR5.34cr Loan to '[ICRA]D'
------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has revised the long term outstanding on INR5.34 crore term
loan facilities of V Ponnusamy Educational and Charitable Trust
from '[ICRA]B+' to '[ICRA]D'.
The rating downgrade reflects delays in debt servicing by VP
Trust due to tight liquidity conditions. The trust has moderate
scale of operations attributed to lower enrolments, especially in
the technical institutes given the history of weak placement
offers. ICRA also take note of high competition in the education
sector which is likely to exert pressure on enrollment and
attracting and retaining experienced faculty. The Trust's capital
structure is characterized by high gearing and is likely to be
constrained in near to medium term due to debt funded capital
expenditure being undertaken by it. The debt is guaranteed by the
group's poultry businesses, Selvam Broilers P Limited and PSP
Farms P Limited, which have relatively weak financial metrics.
ICRA however takes note of the Trust run Institutes' affiliations
with prestigious universities and the stable cash flows with
regular fee based income.
V. Ponnusamy Educational and Charitable Trust was established in
1999 in Namakkal, Tamilnadu by Dr. P. Selvaraj who is the
promoter of "The Selvam Group". The trust was established to set
up and run educational institutions in the state of Tamilnadu.

ORSO ABS: S&P Cuts 2 Beneficiary Interest Classes Ratings to 'CC'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered to 'CC (sf)' from
'CCC- (sf)' its ratings on the class D and E beneficiary
interests issued under the ORSO ABS Funding Trust1-SFFC
transaction, and then withdrew these ratings. Classes A to C have
already been redeemed.
"The backup servicer has progressed with the liquidation of
collateral properties and collection operations in line with its
business plan, and most of the collateral properties have been
sold. Meanwhile, the backup servicer sold loan receivables --
mainly loans secured by already-liquidated collateral properties
-- to maximize the collection amount. As a result, the amount of
underlying real estate-backed loan receivables in the transaction
has decreased. Furthermore, the backup servicer has sold most of
the collateral properties that secure the remaining real estate-
backed loan receivables. As such, Standard & Poor's considers
that the amount to be collected in the future will be limited,
and thus the full repayment of classes D and E is highly
unlikely. We have lowered the ratings on classes D and E
accordingly.
After the downgrade, we withdrew the ratings on classes D and E
due to a request from a related party," S&P said.
Standard & Poor's 17g-7 Disclosure Report

TAKEFUJI CORP: Names J Trust as New Sponsor to Replace A&P
----------------------------------------------------------
The Mainichi Daily News reports that the administrator of
Takefuji Corp. said Wednesday he has selected J Trust Co.,
another Japanese lender, as Takefuji's turnaround sponsor to
replace A&P Financial Co. of South Korea.
The Mainichi Daily relates that lawyer Eiichi Obata said the
South Korean consumer loan company has withdrawn its earlier plan
to support Takefuji.
According to the report, J Trust will acquire Takefuji for
JPY25.2 billion next March 1, after Takefuji hives off a division
bearing responsibility for repaying creditors. J Trust's
subsidiary Lopro Corp. will take over Takefuji's lending
operations, the report says.
J Trust President Nobuyoshi Fujisawa will provide 7 billion yen
in loan for the acquisition as no bank financing for the deal has
yet been fixed, The Mainichi Daily reports.
The report says A&P had offered to acquire Takefuji on Dec. 1
under a Takefuji rehabilitation plan approved by the Tokyo
District Court.
But it has become difficult for A&P to raise funds for the
acquisition as the company is now expected to face administrative
punishment for charging interest rates exceeding a legal limit on
loans in South Korea, the report relays.
J Trust and A&P were among companies that made bids in late March
to sponsor Takefuji's turnaround, the report adds.
About Takefuji
Takefuji Corporation (TYO:8564) -- http://www.takefuji.co.jp/--
is a Japan-based company mainly engaged in the consumer finance
business. The Company operates in two business segments. The
Consumer Finance segment covers the loan and credit card
businesses. The Others segment is involved in the operation of
golf courses, the development, management and leasing of real
estate, the venture capital business, as well as the investment
business, among others. The Company has eight subsidiaries.
Takefuji filed a bankruptcy petition with the Tokyo District
Court on Sept. 28, 2010, with debts of JPY433.6 billion.
Bloomberg News has said the company has become the biggest
casualty of Japan's four-year crackdown on coercive lending
practices by consumer finance companies. The lender is seeking
to restructure as borrower claims of overpaid interest are
estimated to exceed JPY1 trillion.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Nov. 7, 2011, Bankruptcy Law360 said that Tokyo court confirmed
the company's reorganization plan after most creditors voted in
support of the plan, which will repay 20% of its total debt of
JPY1.5 trillion ($19.8 billion).
Law360 related that 100% of secured creditors voted in favor of
the plan, while 85.43% of unsecured creditors voted for it.
According to the company, it will begin making repayments under
the plan in mid-December.

AMI INSURANCE: Purchase Won't Lessen Competition, IAG Says
----------------------------------------------------------
Fairfax NZ News reports that Insurance Australia Group (IAG)
predicts banks will be competitors in domestic insurance in the
future, as part of its arguments for being allowed to buy
Canterbury insurer AMI Insurance.
According to the news agency, IAG New Zealand is seeking
clearance from competition watchdog the Commerce Commission to
buy AMI for NZ$380 million, though it is not acquiring AMI's
NZ$1.8 billion in earthquake claims.
Fairfax NZ relates that the main test the commission applies is
whether the deal will substantially lessen competition.
The report discloses that IAG NZ, a subsidiary of the IAG Group,
is already the largest general insurer in New Zealand with 31% of
the general insurance market. The addition of AMI, which has
almost 500,000 customers with 1.2 million policies, would boost
IAG NZ to 40% of the market, the report notes.
Where AMI and IAG overlap and compete is mainly in the home,
contents and vehicle insurance market, Fairfax NZ relays.
According to the report, IAG NZ said while it would have a higher
market share the market would remain competitive.
"There are a number of credible competitors, including well-
established general insurers with significant financial resources
and capabilities as well as an active competitive fringe," IAG's
application to the commission said, the report notes.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Dec. 20, 2011, AMI Insurance said it has accepted a conditional
offer from IAG to purchase 100% of a reconfigured AMI company
with a separate Government-owned company being established to
steadily resolve all AMI earthquake claims existing at the time
of purchase. IAG said in a separate statement that it had
entered into an agreement to purchase the AMI Insurance business
for NZ$380 million.
The TCR-AP, citing The New Zealand Herald, reported on April 8,
2011, that the government had announced a support package for AMI
Insurance that Finance Minister Bill English acknowledges could
top NZ$1 billion and leave the Crown liable for up to NZ$200
million a year in ongoing claims. Interest.co.nz said the
government stepped in to guarantee AMI policy holders if the
insurance company had exhausted its own reserves due to the
financial hit caused by the two Christchurch earthquakes on Sept.
4, 2010, and Feb. 22, 2011. AMI subsequently reported a NZ$705
million annual loss and breached its Crown Support Deed
arrangement through a NZ$76 million shortfall to its NZ$198.6
million regulatory capital requirement, according to
Interest.co.nz.
About AMI Insurance
AMI Insurance -- http://www.ami.co.nz/-- is the largest wholly
New Zealand owned fire and general and personal lines insurance
company. The company has 73 branches, two contact centres and 21
agencies throughout New Zealand, nearly 1,000 staff, and around
500,000 New Zealand customers holding 1.2 million policies.
STRATOS TELEVISION: Closes Door After Four Years
------------------------------------------------
The National Business Review reports that free-to-air broadcaster
Stratos Television is closing down after four years of public
service broadcasting.
NBR relates that the channel, which provided a "different window
on the world" through the likes of Al Jazeera news in English, is
no longer financially viable.
"We simply have not had the support we were seeking - despite a
growing audience of more than one million and reaching the stage
where AC Nielsen were able to include us in the TARPS audience
ratings," NBR quotes co-founder and CEO Jim Blackman as saying.
"It is hugely disappointing because New Zealand is a country
where 25% of the population are new New Zealanders and providing
a window to the world helps develop understanding in our
communities."
According to NBR, Mr. Blackman said Stratos could also have
filled the gap the proposed closure of TVNZ7 will create.
The broadcaster had international partnerships with the likes of
DW-TV, France 24, Euro News in Europe, Voice of America,
Bloomberg, Australia Network and CCTV, CQTV, NHK and YTN in Asia,
NBR adds.

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.
