ACHIEVEIT AUSTRALIA: Placed Into Liquidation
--------------------------------------------
Cliff Sanderson at Dissolve.com.au reports that AchieveIT
Australia Pty Ltd has been placed into liquidation, reportedly
owing AUD174,012 to unsecured creditors. James Patrick Downey of
JP Downey and Co was appointed as liquidator of the company on
October 3, 2014.

The Notting Hill-based reseller closed its doors on Sept. 30,
2014. Support agreements were moved to Wheelers Hill business
SSDL, Dissolve.com.au relates.


CRISTAL MINING: Moody's Withdraws B3 Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the B3 Corporate Family
Rating on Cristal Mining Australia Limited, for business reasons.

Ratings Rationale

Moody's has withdrawn the rating for its own business reasons.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Mining Industry published in August 2014.


DECANDIA HOLDINGS: First Creditors' Meeting Set For Dec. 29
-----------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Lopresti and Timothy James Clifton of Clifton Hall were
appointed as liquidators of Decandia Holdings Pty Ltd, trading as
Silent Systems, on Dec. 15, 2014.

A first meeting of the creditors of the Company will be held: at
Clifton Hall, Level 3, 431 King William Street, in Adelaide, South
Australia, on Dec. 29, 2014, at 10:30 a.m.


JONES THE GROCER: Ex-CEO Blames Collapse on Difference in Vision
----------------------------------------------------------------
Eloise Keating at SmartCompany reports that the Melbourne
businessman who purchased Jones the Grocer nine years ago said a
"difference in vision at board level" led to the business
collapsing.

In a statement issued to SmartCompany, former Jones the Grocer
chief executive John Manos said he is disappointed the Australian
operations of the Jones the Grocer group were placed in voluntary
administration earlier this month.

Jason Stone, Glenn Franklin and Petr Vrsecky of PKF Lawler
Melbourne were appointed administrators of Jones the Grocer Pty
Ltd and its related entities on December 12.

Also in voluntary administration are burger chain Charlie & Co and
Becasse Bakery, which were previously owned by celebrity chef
Justin North, the report notes.

A number of entities related to Jones the Grocer, including its
distribution arm Senselle Food Distribution, Jones Group
Franchising, Jones Group Holdings, Jones the Grocer IP and 3GS
Holdings are also in administration, the report notes.

"I am keen to see the business continue ordinary operations and
the strong relationships I have built with all our stakeholders
over nine years maintained," Mr. Manos, who purchased the company
in 2005 and sold a 50% stake to L Capital Asia, the private equity
arm of fashion powerhouse and luxury goods retailer Louis Vuitton
Moet Hennessy, the report relays.  "We built a very successful
business, between 2005 when I bought the business and 2012,
growing both within Australia and internationally, including
opening stores in Asia and the Middle East and operating
successful food wholesaler, Senselle Foods. L Capital Asia's
majority investment in 2012 was intended to provide a platform for
further growth."

But Mr. Manos said the relationship with L Capital Asia
deteriorated, SmartCompany relays.

SmartCompany says Mr. Manos resigned from his position as chief
executive earlier this month, prompting L Capital Asia to take
control of the group and appoint administrators.

However, Mr. Manos remains involved as a director of the six
related entities, the report relates.

"Most recently there has been a difference in vision at board
level for the group going forward, which has affected the
strategic approach of the group," SmartCompany quotes Mr. Manos as
saying.  "I am now focused on finding a solution to these
differences with L Capital Asia so we can maximise the value for
all stakeholders, including long-term customers, suppliers and
staff."

Jones the Grocer was founded by Lindsay Jones in 1996, with the
food emporium opening its flagship store in Woollahra, Sydney. The
retailer sells gourmet food products, including pastries, coffee,
artisan cheese, chocolate, tea and sauces, according to
SmartCompany.

Administrator Jason Stone told SmartCompany earlier last week he
has been appointed to manage Jones the Grocer's four Australian
stores, as well as two Charlie & Co outlets and two Becasse
outlets, all of which are continuing to trade.

The voluntary administration does not include the Jones the Grocer
stores in New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Qatar.

Mr. Jones said, together with the Senselle distribution centre,
the Jones the Grocer group employs more than 200 people. In 2012,
Fairfax reported Jones the Grocer was turning over approximately
AUD33 million and had plans to expand to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,
Thailand, China and Japan.

SmartCompany relates that a meeting of creditors for all companies
is scheduled to take place in Melbourne on December 24 and Mr.
Stone said the current plan is to "restructure the company so it
can continue to trade".

"There were some internal management issues and the shareholders
decided on this formal process as a means to clean it up," said
Mr. Stone, echoing Mr. Manos' comments, adds SmartCompany.

Jason G. Stone, Glenn J. Franklin and Petr Vrsecky of PKF Lawler
Melbourne on Dec. 12, 2014, were appointed as administrators of:

   - Jones the Grocer Stores Pty. Ltd.
   - Senselle Foods Distribution Pty. Ltd.
   - 3GS Holdings Pty. Ltd.
   - Jones Group Franchising Pty. Ltd.
   - Jones Group Holdings Pty. Ltd.
   - Jones the Grocer IP Pty. Ltd.


REDBANK PROJECT: Power Station Placed Up for Sale
-------------------------------------------------
Cliff Sanderson at Dissolve.com.au reports that urgent expressions
of interest are sought for the purchase of Redbank Project Pty
Limited.  The report says the sale provides the new owner of the
Redbank Power Station the opportunity to own equipment and power
plant on a piecemeal basis or in situ.

The power station is a 151MW base load station that burnt high ash
run-of-mine coal and beneficiated dewatered coal tailings. An
operation cessation had lead to an opportunity to buy the physical
assets of the company.

According to the report, the receivers of Redbank from KordaMentha
welcome a purchase of the entire plant or of the company's
specific assets. The power station is situated in Warkworth.

CIFI HOLDINGS: Tap Bond Issuance No Impact on Moody's Ba3 CFR
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service says that CIFI Holdings (Group) Co.
Ltd's (CIFI) Ba3 corporate family rating and B1 senior unsecured
debt rating remain unchanged following the announcement of a tap
bond offering on its existing $200 million 8.875% 2019 notes
issued in January 2014.

The outlook on the ratings remains stable.

The tap bond offering is subject to the same terms and conditions
as the existing notes and, as with the existing notes, CIFI will
use the proceeds to refinance existing debt, fund existing and new
projects and for general working capital requirements.

"The tap offering will provide funding to support CIFI's growth
plans, as well as improve its debt maturity profile, given that it
will use a significant portion of the proceeds to refinance its
existing debt of shorter maturities," says Franco Leung, a Moody's
Vice President and Senior Analyst.

CIFI's Ba3 corporate family rating reflects the company's ability
to execute a property development model with a rapid turnover,
which supports its liquidity position. The rating also takes into
account the company's focus on mass-market housing, which has
helped it achieve strong sales growth over the past two years.

In the first 11 months of 2014, CIFI reported 34% year-over-year
growth in contracted sales to RMB19.03 billion, amid a weak
property market in China.

However, the rating is constrained by CIFI's geographic
concentration in the Yangtze River Delta, which is its core
market. Nevertheless, the strategic location of its land bank in
first- and second tier-cities will support its future growth.

Another rating constraint is the company's low profit margin,
which is the result of its fast turnover model focused on mass-
market products. Accordingly, its interest coverage ratio has been
low at around 2.0x over the past two years.

But Moody's expects CIFI's interest coverage ratio will improve to
2.6x-2.8x over the next 12-18 months, on the back of stronger
development cash flow and recognition of its strong contracted
sales secured in 2013 and 2014.

In addition, Moody's forecasts its revenue-to-debt to improve to
1.2x from about 0.9x over the same period. These financial metrics
would be comparable to those of its low Ba-rated peers.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Homebuilding Industry published in March 2009.

CIFI Holdings (Group) Co. Ltd., headquartered in Shanghai, listed
on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in November 2012. The company
focuses on developing residential and commercial properties mainly
in first- and second-tier cities in China, with a regional focus
on the Yangtze River Delta Region. It has also expanded to the Pan
Bohai Rim and the Central Western Region. It owned more than 60
projects and had an attributable land bank of 7.5 million square
meters as of 30 June 2014.

This publication does not announce a credit rating action.


GEELY AUTOMOBILE: Profit Warning No Impact on Moody's Ba2 CFR
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service says that Geely Automobile Holdings
Limited's profit warning for its 2014 results is credit negative,
but has no impact on the Ba2 corporate family and senior unsecured
bond ratings.

The ratings outlook remains stable.

On 16 December 2014, Geely announced that it expects its 2014
profits attributable to equity holders to decline by about 50%
from the RMB2,663 million achieved in 2013.

The expected weak profit is attributable to: (1) the unrealized
foreign exchange loss recorded by Geely's Russian assets,
consisting mainly of inventories, as a result of the depreciation
of the Russian Rouble against the USD and the RMB; and (2) a 26%
year-over-year sales volume decline in the first 11 months of
2014, driven by the sharp decline in export sales to some of
Geely's major export markets, including Russia, and the company's
dealership network restructuring in China.

"Geely's profit warning mainly stems from the unrealized foreign
exchange loss on its Russian assets, which is non-cash in nature
and does not affect the company's 2014 EBITDA," says Gerwin Ho, a
Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst.

Moody's expects Geely will record about 5%-10% year-over-year
sales volume growth in 2015. The projected sales growth will be
driven by China's growing passenger vehicle market, Geely's
product line up renewal, and export sales stabilization.

Moreover, the company's profit warning impact and weaker export
sales outlook remain in line with Moody's expectation. In Moody's
view, the expected weak results for 2014 reflect the company's
efforts to restructure its operations as it prepares for new model
launches in 2015.

Nevertheless, Moody's considers the weak export sales a negative
rating driver. In its revised forecast -- which assumes that the
company can increase domestic sales to cover weaker export sales -
- Moody's expects the company's EBITA margin to be 9%-10% and
debt/EBITDA about 1.0x in the next 12 months. These metrics still
support its Ba2 rating.

Geely's cash holdings of around RMB6.4 billion at end-June 2014,
proceeds from its USD300 million bond issuance in October 2014 and
operating cash flow will be sufficient to cover its short-term
debt and estimated capex over the next 12 months.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Automobile Manufacturer Industry published in June 2011.

Geely Automobile Holdings Limited is incorporated in the Cayman
Islands and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The company is one of the largest privately owned, local brand
automakers in China. Geely develops, manufactures and sells
passenger vehicles that are sold in China and globally. Its
chairman and founder, Mr. Li Shufu, became Geely's controlling
shareholder in June 2005. Mr. Li and his family held a 42.6% stake
in the company at end-2013.


HONGHUA GROUP: Fitch Says 'BB' Rating Unaffected by Slow Sales
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings says that recent rapid fall in oil prices and
depreciating Russian ruble have resulted in slower sales for
Honghua Group Limited (BB/Stable), but do not have an immediate
impact on the company's ratings and outlook.

The oil rig builder told Fitch that revenue growth for 2014 will
decrease, mostly due to a delay in delivery of land rigs stemming
from the long time needed to clear customs during the busy year-
end period. New orders for onshore rigs could increase at a slower
pace as oil prices slide, although this would be partly offset by
an increase in orders for parts and components from Russian
customers as the country's oil producers replace parts in old rigs
rather than order new ones. Honghua expects new order growth to be
driven mostly by customers in the Middle East, South America and
other Asian countries, who already account for most of the
company's 2014 revenue.

Honghua's exposure to Russia has fallen over the years as the
company attempted to diversify its regional risks. Orders from
Russia tend to come from companies that Honghua has long-term
relationships with and the orders have favourable payment
conditions with significant down payment and instalments during
the terms of the contracts. The contracts also include mechanisms
to protect Honghua against sustained foreign-currency movements.
Moreover, Honghua uses tools such as insurance and letters of
credits on 90% of its orders.

Honghua focuses on customers in the emerging markets, where oil
production has proved resilient to the drop in oil prices because
companies were supported either by lower costs or government
incentives. When oil fell to USD35 per barrel in early 2009 and
remained depressed during the year, there were significantly fewer
new onshore wells drilled in North America and Europe. In the
Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and Asian (except China),
however, the number of new onshore wells decreased slightly while
those in China and Russia actually increased albeit at a slower
pace.

Fitch did not factor in any meaningful income from offshore rig
sales until FY15 when it assigned Honghua's ratings in September
2014 because the agency expected execution delays in this segment
while the company hammered out technical customisation details for
contracts signed this year.

Fitch's negative guidelines for Honghua include: FFO adjusted net
leverage sustained above 3.0x, EBITDA margin sustained below 12%,
net working capital days sustained above 250 days, significant
weakening of the company's market position and poor execution of
contracts for offshore rigs. Even in light of the current lower
oil prices and the potential impact on Honghua's order book, Fitch
estimates that these guidelines will not be breached in 2015,
although headroom for Honghua's rating level has been reduced.

Provisional Liquidators, Tammy Fu and Eleanor Fisher, both of

On Oct. 21, 2014, LDK Solar filed a petition in the same U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for recognition of the provisional liquidation
proceeding in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. The Chapter
15 case is In re LDK Solar CO., Ltd. (Bankr. D. Del., Case No. 14-
12387).

The U.S. Debtors' General Counsel is Jessica C.K. Boelter, Esq.,

which the U.S. Debtors launched a solicitation of votes on
September 17, 2014 from the holders of LDK Solar's 10% Senior
Notes due 2014, as guarantors of the Senior Notes, and required
such holders of the Senior Notes to return their ballots by
October 15, 2014. Holders of the Senior Notes voted

SUNRISE REAL ESTATE: Incurs $1.9M Net Loss in Year Ended Dec 2013
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing
a net loss of $1.93 million on $12.76 million of net revenues for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of $3.47
million on $8.52 million of net revenues for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2012.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, the Company had $61.69 million in total
assets, $58.09 million in total liabilities and $3.60 million in
total stockholders' equity.

Finesse CPA, P.C., in Chicago, Illinois, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2013. The independent auditors noted that
the Company has a working capital deficiency, accumulated deficit
from recurring net losses for the current and prior years, and
significant short-term debt obligations currently in default or
maturing in less than one year. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

BANK OF EAST: Moody's Assigns Ba1(hyb) Rating to USD500MM Debt
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service, has assigned Ba1(hyb) rating to Bank of
East Asia's USD500 million subordinated debt due 2024 issued under
its USD6 billion medium-term note program.

The rating outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The assigned rating is in line with the (P)Ba1 rating for Bank of
East Asia's MTN program subordinated obligations, and is two
notches below the bank's baa2 adjusted baseline credit assessment.

The subordinated notes constitute direct, unsecured and
subordinated obligations of Bank of East Asia and contain Basel
III-compliant point of non-viability (PONV) provisions, which
allow the notes to qualify as regulatory Tier 2 capital.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has discretion to
determine the point at which the bank is non-viable. The principal
on these capital securities could be written down in the event
that the HKMA notifies the bank that without such write-off, the
bank would become non-viable or the government or a regulatory
body decides to make a public sector injection of capital without
which the bank would become non-viable.

Principal Methodology

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Banks
published in July 2014.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, Bank of East Asia reported total
assets of HKD805.3 billion ($103.9 billion) as of end-June 2014.

AH CHEMICALS: CRISIL Suspends B+ Rating on INR15MM Cash Credit
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has suspended its ratings on the bank facilities of
AH Chemicals Pvt Ltd (AH Chemicals).

                         Amount
   Facilities           (INR Mln)       Ratings

   Letter of credit &
   Bank Guarantee           32.5        CRISIL A4

   Proposed Short Term
   Bank Loan Facility      102.5        CRISIL A4

The suspension of ratings is on account of non-cooperation by AH
Chemicals with CRISIL's efforts to undertake a review of the
ratings outstanding. Despite repeated requests by CRISIL, AH
Chemicals is yet to provide adequate information to enable CRISIL
to assess AH Chemicals's ability to service its debt. The
suspension reflects CRISIL's inability to maintain a valid rating
in the absence of adequate information. CRISIL considers
information availability risk as a key credit factor in its rating
process and non-sharing of information as a first signal of
possible credit distress, as outlined in its criteria 'Information
Availability Risk in Credit Ratings'.

AH Chemicals was set up in 1992 by the Himatsinghka family of
Kolkata (West Bengal) and Jhawar family of Mumbai (Maharashtra).
The company trades mostly phenol and TG urea, besides 20 to 25
other chemicals.

   Standby Line of Credit   1.5        CRISIL B/Stable
   Term Loan               34.5        CRISIL B/Stable

The suspension of ratings is on account of non-cooperation by
Ambay with CRISIL's efforts to undertake a review of the ratings
outstanding. Despite repeated requests by CRISIL, Ambay is yet to
provide adequate information to enable CRISIL to assess Ambay's
ability to service its debt. The suspension reflects CRISIL's
inability to maintain a valid rating in the absence of adequate
information. CRISIL considers information availability risk as a
key credit factor in its rating process and non-sharing of
information as a first signal of possible credit distress, as
outlined in its criteria 'Information Availability Risk in Credit
Ratings'.

Ambay was incorporated in 2008, promoted by Mr. Netin Agarwal, Mr.
Arun Agarwal, and Ms. Asha Devi Agarwal. The company is in the
process of setting up a unit for manufacturing commercial wood
veneer in Hooghly district (West Bengal). The unit is expected to

KINGFISHER AIRLINES: UB Group Plane Placed on Market
----------------------------------------------------
The Times of India reports that Mumbai International Airport
(MIAL) has put a sale tag on a nine-seater jet (HS 125-700 B)
owned by the UB Group. An MIAL spokesperson declined comment but
referred TOI to a newspaper advertisement, which states MIAL is
seeking purchase interest for the jet.

TOI says payment defaults by UB Group's grounded Kingfisher
Airlines have forced lessors and creditors to repossess its
aircraft.

Headquartered in Mumbai, India, Kingfisher Airlines --
http://www.flykingfisher.com/-- formerly known as Deccan
Aviation Ltd., served about 35 domestic destinations with a fleet
of more than 40 aircraft, including Airbus jets and ATR 72
turboprops.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Jan. 15, 2014, Bloomberg News said Kingfisher has grounded planes
since October 2012.  The airline lost its operating license in
January last year after failing to convince authorities it
has enough funds to restart flights.

The airline defaulted on payments to lessors, creditors and
airports as losses widened amid rising fuel costs and competition.

According to Bloomberg News, Mr. Mirpuri said in an e-mail on
January 13 the airline continues its efforts to recapitalize and
restart services.

As reported in the TCR-AP on Jan. 27, 2014, CRISIL's ratings on
bank loan facilities of Kingfisher Airlines Ltd continue to
reflect delays by KFAL in servicing its debt; the delays have been
caused by the company's weak liquidity and continued losses at the
operating level. Losses in the past six years have resulted in a
complete erosion of KFAL's net worth, leading to its weak
financial risk profile.

For 2012-13 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31),
KFAL reported a net loss of INR83.5 billion (INR23.3 billion for
2011-12) on net sales of INR5 billion (INR54.85 billion). For the
six months ended September 30, 2013, it reported a net loss of
INR18.72 billion (INR14.04 billion for the corresponding period
of 2012-13) on net revenues of INR0.0 (INR5.01 billion).

   ----------                -----------    -------
   Long term Bank Facilities      2.48      CARE B+ Reaffirmed
   Short term Bank Facilities    12         CARE A4 Reaffirmed

Rating Rationale

The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of KPC Flexi Tubes
continues to be constrained by its small scale of operations,
working capital intensive nature of operations, leveraged capital
structure and foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The ratings are
further constrained by the KPC's constitution as a partnership
firm and its exposure to raw material price fluctuations.

The ratings, however, continue to derive strength from the
experienced promoters of KPC, long track record and growing
scale of operations.

The ability of KPC to improve its scale of operations while
improving its profitability margins, efficiently manage its
working capital requirements and improve its capital structure
shall be the key rating sensitivities.

KPC Flexi Tubes (KPC) was established in 1988 as a partnership
firm by Mr K P Chandhok and Mr Gaurav Chandhok with profit sharing
ratio of 76% and 24%, respectively. The firm is engaged in
manufacturing and export of turned and machined components, rubber
molded goods, sheet metal components and metal flexible hose. The
products manufactured find applications in the automotive
industry, the engineering industry (electrical conduits,
integrated circuits) etc. The raw materials used in manufacturing
of the products are hot rolled/cold rolled sheet, mild steel
round, stainless steel strips, stainless steel pipe, stainless
steel round/hex etc which are procured domestically. Its
manufacturing facility is located in Faridabad, Haryana and the
manufacturing processes are ISO 9001:2000 certified. Ace Technik
and Ace Meters are group concerns engaged in providing services to
KPC like coating, packaging and other in-house jobs on a job-work

INR0.38 crore respectively as against TOI of INR18.55 crore with

Rating Rationale

The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Lexus Granito
(India) Private Limited (LGPL) continue to remain constrained
on account of persistent delays in its debt servicing. The ability
of LGPL to establish a clear track record of debt servicing with
improvement in liquidity position is the key rating sensitivity.

Incorporated in 2008, Morbi (Gujarat)-based LGPL is engaged in the
manufacturing of double charged vitrified tiles. The company had
started commercial production in August 2011. LGPL's manufacturing
facility is located at Morbi in Rajkot district which is the

of INR59.25 crore as against a PAT of INR0.67 crore on a TOI of

PIONEER POWER: CARE Ups Rating on INR26.62cr LT Bank Loan to 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE revises the rating assigned to the bank facilities of
Pioneer Power Ltd.
                                Amount
   Facilities                 (INR crore)    Ratings
   ----------                 -----------    -------
   Long-term Bank Facilities      26.62      CARE B+ Revised
   (includes Term Loan, Cash                 from CARE C
   Credit and Letter of Credit)

Rating Rationale

The revision in the rating takes into account improvement in the
liquidity and financial risk profile of the company with improved
collection period, capital structure & debt coverage indicators.
The rating, however, is constrained by the continuous increase in
variable costs with low operational efficiency, increased input
price without corresponding increase in the tariff realization,
high dependence on the working capital borrowings and moderate
industry prospects with constraint on availability of gas. The
rating also takes into account the experience and financial
support of the promoters and presence of firm fuel purchase
agreement and power purchase agreement. The ability of the company
to recover debtors in a timely manner, manage the working capital
efficiently thereby resulting in further improvement in liquidity
position and continuous to receipt of uninterrupted natural gas
supply are the key rating sensitivities.

Pioneer Power Limited (PPL), promoted by Hyderabad-based Penna
group was incorporated in October 1998 as Penna Electricity Ltd
and subsequently the name was changed to current nomenclature. The
company is engaged in gas based power generation (installed
capacity 52.8 MW) at its power plant located in Ramnad district of
Tamil Nadu. PPL has a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tamil
Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) valid for 15 years starting from
July 1, 2006. PPL also has a long-term fuel supply agreement with
Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) valid till January 31,
2015.

During FY14 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31), PPL posted
PBILDT of INR28 crore (FY13 - INR43.28 crore) and PAT of INR9.63
crore (FY13 - INR18.45 crore) on a total operating income of
INR137.16 crore (FY13 - INR137.68 crore). As per the unaudited
financials for H1FY15, the company has achieved a total operating
income of INR68.29 crore.


SANDHYA CERA: CARE Assigns B Rating to INR4cr Long Term Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE B' and 'CARE A4' ratings to the bank facilities
of Sandhya Cera Decorators.
                                Amount
   Facilities                (INR crore)    Ratings
   ----------                -----------    -------
   Long-term Bank Facilities      4         CARE B Assigned
   Long-term/Short-term Bank      2         CARE B/CARE A4
   Facilities                               Assigned

Rating Rationale

The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Sandhya Cera
Decorators (SCD) are primarily constrained on account of
project implementation and stabilization risk and susceptibility
of operating margins to change in raw material prices and
foreign exchange rates going forward. SCD's presence in highly
competitive and fragmented ceramic glazed tile printing &
decoration industry coupled with constitution of the entity as
partnership firm further constrain the ratings.

The ratings, however, favourably factor in vast experience of the
partners in ceramic glazed tile printing & decoration industry and
the firm's presence in the ceramic tile hub with easy access to
raw material and power and fuel.

SCD's ability to timely complete the project within envisaged cost
and achieve envisaged level of turnover and profitability are the
key rating sensitivities.

SCD is a partnership firm currently run by four partners with
equal profit and loss sharing ratio. Originally, the firm was
established in the name of Antalica Aluminum during October 2005
with an objective to carry out manufacturing of Aluminum-based
products. During September 2007, reconstitution of firm took place
and the name of the firm was changed to SCD and the objective of
the firm was also changed to carry out business of decorative work
on glaze tiles and sanitary wares with traditional method of
manual printing.

During April 2014, the firm decided to modernize its technology
from traditional old technology with manual printing to modern
third fire and fourth fire technology with latest Italian and
Spanish machineries. SCD also decided to switch over to the
Digital Decoration technology. For this purpose, SCD is currently
investing INR8 crore for installing plant for digital decoration &
printing of tiles which would be funded through term loan of INR4
crore and balance by way of share capital and unsecured loans from
the partners. SCD has envisaged commencing commercial production
from April 2015 from its sole manufacturing facilities located in
ceramic cluster Morbi (Gujarat).


SINGAN PROJECTS: CARE Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR20cr LT Bank Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE reaffirms ratings assigned to bank facilities of Singan
Projects Limited.
                                Amount
   Facilities                (INR crore)    Ratings
   ----------                -----------    -------
   Long term Bank Facilities    20.00       CARE B+ Reaffirmed
   Short term Bank Facilities   34.50       CARE A4 Reaffirmed

Rating Rationale

The ratings continue to be constrained by concentrated order book
position, stretched operating cycle resulting in pressure on the
working capital position and leading to persistent high working
capital utilization, decline in the income from operation in FY14
(refers to the period April 1 to March 31) and marginal weakening
of the capital structure as on March 31, 2014. The ratings are,
however, underpinned by the satisfactory experience of the
promoters, significant growth in order book position and improved
operating profit margin in FY14. The ability of the company to
recover contract proceeds in timely manner, thereby improving the
liquidity position and expand the scale of operation while
maintaining profit margin are the key rating sensitivities.

Singan Projects Limited (SPL) incorporated in 2002, is promoted by
Mr S. Narayana. The company is based in Hyderabad, Telangana, and
is involved in the execution of civil construction contracts with
work orders spanning across water drainage, water supply scheme,
development/improvement of reservoir, sanitation, drinking water
projects, etc, and with majority of work orders awarded by the
State and Central Government Departments.  The order book as on
Sept. 30, 2014, comprised 34 projects valued INR311.07 crore
(against INR153.93 crore with 16 contracts as on Sept. 30, 2013).

During FY14, SPL reported a total operating income of INR69.62
crore (INR71.57 crore in FY13) with PBILDT of INR9.41 crore
(INR9.01 crore in FY13) and PAT of INR2.27 crore (INR2.61 crore in
FY13).  As per the unaudited results for 8MFY15, a total operating
income was INR36.80 crore with PAT of INR1.17 crore.


SPICEJET LTD: Co-Founder Leads $240-Mil. Rescue
-----------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that the co-founder of SpiceJet is leading a $240
million rescue effort to pull the low-cost carrier back from the
brink of collapse, in a bold bet on the recovery of an industry
plagued by high costs and heavy losses.

Reuters relates that a source with direct knowledge of discussions
said Ajay Singh, who helped set up the airline in 2005, was in
talks with private equity firms and the government to hammer out
the deal.

India's second-largest budget airline has been struggling for
months, and the other week was forced to ground its fleet after
suppliers refused to refuel the planes, the report discloses.

That prompted speculation it was heading for a collapse
embarrassing for both India and its aviation industry -- just two
years after Kingfisher Airlines imploded leaving billions of
rupees in unpaid debt, according to Reuters.

"This is a good time to be in the aviation space, with fuel prices
being as low as they are and the economy set to grow," said the
source, who declined to be named, Reuters relays.
"Some mistakes have been made in the past but . . . this is a
situation that can be rectified."

According to Reuters, the source said Mr. Singh -- a well-
connected businessman credited with coining Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's winning campaign slogan -- will present the plan
to ministry officials today, December 22, alongside his financial
backers, the source said. Due diligence, however, could take a
further 4 to 6 weeks, the report notes.

The cost of the rescue deal is estimated at between INR12 billion
and INR15 billion ($237 million), the source said, though that
could still change, Reuters relates.

Mr. Singh, who owns roughly 5% of SpiceJet, will certainly need
deep pockets, adds Reuters.

SpiceJet's current owner, media billionaire Kalanithi Maran's Sun
Group, has said it cannot afford a bail out after sinking $400
million into the airline since buying it in 2010, Reuters reports.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Dec. 18, 2014, Economic Times said the Civil Aviation Ministry
said on December 16 it may request Indian banks/financial
institutions to extend loans of up to INR600 crore to SpiceJet Ltd
as part of measures to keep the carrier functional.
Besides, it will also request the Finance Ministry to permit
external commercial borrowing (ECB) for working capital as special
dispensation, a Ministry release said, ET related.

Bloomberg News said SpiceJet reported five straight quarterly
losses and tried for more than two years to woo an external
investor to one of the world's most expensive markets for fuel,
which accounts for as much as 50 percent of the costs for some
Indian carriers.

Bloomberg said SpiceJet reduced its fleet of Boeing planes,
delayed wages, and faced regulatory scrutiny after a spate of
cancellations.

MALAYSIA AIRLINES: Khazanah, Upset With Jentayu, Adjourns Meeting
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bernama reports that Khazanah Nasional Bhd is dismayed with
Jentayu Danaraksa Sdn Bhd's "unprofessionalism" in presenting its
proposed complementary plan to rescue ailing Malaysia Airlines
(MAS), describing it as "a very unusual way of conducting business
in corporate Malaysia", sources said on December 18.

The sources, familiar with Khazanah's way of doing business, told
Bernama that it was for this and other reasons that it decided to
postpone to a later date a meeting scheduled on December 23
between the two parties to discuss the plan.

"Khazanah is dealing with many other proposals in private and in a
proper way. So, anyone who wants to deal with Khazanah should work
in a private and confidential manner. If not meetings will get
postponed until they learn basic professionalism.

"We can imagine that Khazanah is flabbergasted that a proposal to
buy multi-billion assets are posted for discussion in open forums
like social media outlets, as it rightly feels any business
discussion must maintain a degree of confidentiality", the
sources, as cited by Bernama, said.

According to Bernama, sources said Khazanah was a stickler for
proper process and transparency, and presenting a business
proposal via the media to whip up publicity was simply
unacceptable behaviour and went against basic decorum expected
from any serious business deal.

"I believe this is one big sticking point on which Khazanah
postponed the meeting with Jentayu to a later date," added a
source, Bernama relays.

The report says the sources questioned Jentayu's motive of making
public its proposal a day before the scheduled meeting.

"It then begs the question whether there is public sentiment being
played up so that the proposal can't be refused by any government
by bringing on public pressure.

"If the intention is to rally public support, then this mother of
all restructuring of our national airline will be an effort in
futility as it is business as usual then, with third party
interference still intact.

"This is certainly against the objective of restructuring the
national airline to allow MAS to operate as a pure business
entity", the sources said, Bernama relays.

Bernama says Jentayu had taken the unconventional route in
presenting its plan as complimentary to Khazanah's 12-point MAS
recovery plan on December 15 by holding a press conference, a day
before the newly-minted company was expected to present its
MYR8.75 billion proposal.

Jentayu had even uploaded a brief eight-point plan on its official
Facebook, as well as, the Facebook page of its managing director
Feriz Omar, the report relates.

Bernama notes that a visit to Khazanah's website showed that its
Code of Business Ethics requires parties interested in acquiring
its assets to refrain from disclosing confidential or competitive
information to any unauthorised party.

"And in the case of Jentayu, presenting its takeover plan to the
press does not fit with this," Bernama quotes a source as saying.

Khazanah, had on Nov 28, said that it had received no less than 28
business proposals expressing interest in participating in or
complementing its five-year plan, Bernama adds.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific on
September 1 2014, The Associated Press said Malaysia Airlines
will cut 6,000 workers as part of a $1.9 billion overhaul
announced on August 29 to revive its damaged brand after being
hit by double passenger jet disasters.

In March, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 veered far off course while
en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, and went missing with 239
people on board, said the report.  In July, 298 people were killed
when Flight 17 was blasted out of the sky as it flew over an area
of eastern Ukraine controlled by pro-Russian separatists.

These tragedies have scarred the airline's brand, once associated
with high-quality service, AP added.

Headquartered in Selangor, Malaysia, state-owned Malaysia
Airlines -- http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/-- engages in the
business of air transportation and the provision of related
services.

Last year, Malaysia Airlines reported a net loss of MYR1.17
billion ($359 million), its third consecutive year of
net losses, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Malaysian Airline System Bhd said its third-quarter net loss
widened to MYR576.1 million ($170.39 million) from
MYR375.4 million in the same period a year earlier, Reuters
disclosed.

RIZAL COMMERCIAL: Fitch Confirms 'BB' Rating on $1BB MTN Prog.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has confirmed the rating on Rizal Commercial Banking
Corp.'s (RCBC) USD1bn medium-term note (MTN) programme at senior
unsecured 'BB'. The rating confirmation follows a periodic update
of the programme, including the most recent reviews of business
and industry developments as well as the Philippine-based bank's
financial statements. Fitch had affirmed the programme rating on
25 July 2014.

Fitch stresses that there is no assurance that the notes issued in
the future under the programme will be assigned a rating, or that
the rating assigned to a specific issue under the programme will
have the same rating as the programme rating.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The senior unsecured programme rating is on par with RCBC's 'BB'
Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR). This is because the senior
notes constitute direct, unsubordinated and senior unsecured
obligations of the bank, and rank equally with all its other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

A change in RCBC's IDR will have an impact on the programme
rating. However, this prospect is remote considering its Stable
Outlook.

For more details on RCBC's ratings and credit profile, see "Fitch
Affirms Four Philippines Banks; Withdraws UnionBank Ratings ",
dated 25 July 2014, and RCBC's Ratings Navigator, dated 31 July
2014 available at www.fitchratings.com.

RCBC's other ratings are as follows:

- Long-Term Foreign-Currency IDR 'BB'; Outlook Stable
- Long-Term Local-Currency IDR 'BB'; Outlook Stable
- Viability Rating 'bb'
- Support Rating '3'
- Support Rating Floor 'BB-'


RIZAL COMMERCIAL: Moody's Puts D- BFSR on Review for Upgrade
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed under review for upgrade
Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation's (RCBC) foreign currency
deposit and senior unsecured ratings on its euro medium term notes
(EMTN) program, as well as its D- standalone bank financial
strength rating (BFSR), which is equivalent to a baseline credit
assessment (BCA) of ba3.

The review for upgrade follows the company's announcement on 17
December that it has entered into a definitive agreement with
Cathay Life Insurance Co., Ltd (Baa2 positive), whereby Cathay
Life will acquire an approximate 20% stake in RCBC. The
acquisition comprises around 124 million newly subscribed shares,
and around 156 million existing shares from Hexagon Investments
B.V.(unrated), an entity controlled by funds advised by CVC Asia
Pacific Limited (unrated) and International Finance Corporation
(Aaa stable).

Ratings Rationale

The review for upgrade was triggered by RCBC's announcement on 17
December that the company has entered into a definitive agreement
with Cathay Life whereby the latter will acquire an approximate
20% stake in RCBC. The transaction is subject to regulatory
approvals and is expected to close by the end of the first quarter
of 2015. Moody's expect to conclude the review at that time.

The private placement to Cathay Life is credit positive for RCBC,
because it will improve its core capitalization and loss-absorbing
buffers, while enhancing its ability to capture its targeted
credit growth for 2015.

Following Cathay Life's subscription to the new shares, RCBC's
reported pro forma core equity Tier 1 ratio (CET1) as of September
2014 will increase to 13.9% from 11.5%. This increase will bring
the bank's capitalization in line with some of its largest
Philippine peers and significantly above the central bank's
minimum CET1 requirement under Basel III of 8.5% (including a 2.5%
capital conservation buffer).

In addition, the review for upgrade reflects the ongoing
improvements in the bank's credit profile, and the expectation
that it will continue to improve, especially once it is able to
implement its capital raising plan.

Moody's views the bank's standalone financial profile as strong
for its ba3 BCA. The review for upgrade of RCBC's D- BFSR
considers the bank's improved asset quality as a result of the
sale of PHP4.8 billion in legacy non-performing loans and non-
performing assets in 2013.

At the same time, Moody's notes that the bank's capital buffer has
improved, following private placements last year that raised a
total of PHP8.2 billion. These transactions have improved RCBC's
overall credit profile, which is now in line with that of other
ba2 and ba3 regional peers.

The bank's ability to implement its capital raising plans and
maintain capital levels above the minimum capital requirements
under Basel III will be key to its ability to support its business
growth targets.

What Could Change The Rating Up/Down

Given the review for upgrade, an upward revision of its BCA would
likely lead to an upgrade of its ratings, assuming that its credit
metrics remain robust.

The following factors could lead to an upward revision of RCBC's
BCA: (1) a high level of loss absorption capacity, as reflected by
a Tier 1 ratio of above 12%; (2) a proven ability to maintain non-
performing assets (non-performing loans and foreclosed assets) at
below 20% of equity and loan loss reserves; and/or (3) evidence
that it can continue to rein in credit costs and improve its risk-
adjusted profitability, reflected by net income above 2% of
average risk-weighted assets.

RCBC's preferred stock rating is linked to its BCA, and could be
upgraded if its BCA is raised.

Given the review for upgrade, downward rating pressure is unlikely
over the near term.

Nevertheless, the bank's BCA could be lowered if: (1) aggressive
organic expansion or acquisitions result in a significant increase
in its risk profile; and/or (2) its operating environment weakens
significantly or underwriting practices become lax, resulting in a
significant increase in non-performing assets (non-performing
loans and foreclosed assets), in turn undermining its loss
absorption capacity; and/or (3) there is a material decline in its
capital buffers, such that its Tier 1 ratio falls below 10%.

The ratings of RCBC are as listed below.

BFSR under review for upgrade from D-, which is equivalent to a
ba3 BCA.

Long-term foreign currency deposits under review for upgrade from
Ba2.

Long-term foreign currency MTN program under review for upgrade
from (P)Ba2.

Foreign currency senior unsecured debt under review for upgrade
from Ba2

Foreign currency preferred stock under review for upgrade from B3
(hyb)

Short-term foreign currency deposit rating of NP.

Short-term foreign currency MTN program rating of (P)NP.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Banks
published in July 2014.

Headquartered in Manila, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation
reported total assets of PHP422 billion ($9.5 billion) as of
Dec. 31, 2013.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-AP delivers a list of indicative

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

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

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.
