BILLABONG INTERNATIONAL: Receives Shareholder Class Action Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Billabong International Limited said it has received a statement
of claim filed in the Federal Court of Australia in relation to a
representative proceeding (shareholder class action) against the
Company.
Billabong said it wholly rejects and intends to vigorously defend
the claim, which focuses on market disclosures that occurred in
2011, nearly four years ago. A subcommittee of the Board chaired
by Dr Sally Pitkin has been appointed in respect of this matter.
The applicants comprise persons who are said to have acquired
ordinary shares or American Depository Receipts in Billabong
between February 18, 2011 and December 19, 2011.
The applicants are seeking declarations and unquantified damages.
The Billabong Board and Management team remain resolutely focused
on the ongoing turnaround of the Company's operations globally.
Billabong has established appropriate processes to defend this
proceeding.
Based in Australia, Billabong International Limited (ASX:BBG) --
http://www.billabongbiz.com/-- is engaged in the wholesaling and
retailing of surf, skate, snow and sports apparel, accessories and
hardware, and the licensing of its trademarks to specified regions
of the world.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Aug. 28, 2013, Bloomberg News said Billabong has closed 158
stores, canceled relationships with three-quarters of its
suppliers, and is cutting 15 percent of jobs in its European
division.
The value of its 13 brands fell to AUD90 million at the end of
June 2013 from AUD614 million in December 2011, and the Billabong
label itself is worthless, the company said in its financial
statements, Bloomberg said. About AUD37 million of group brand
value was locked up in the DaKine outdoor clothing and backpack
label which Billabong sold to Altamont last month, relayed
Bloomberg. Four other brands, including Element skateboards and
Palmers surfboard accessories, were also written down to a zero
valuation, according to the statements cited by Bloomberg.

HOMEART PTY: To Close All 103 Stores; 550 Jobs Axed
---------------------------------------------------
Andrew Sadauskas at SmartCompany reports that Homeart Pty Ltd is
set to be liquidated, with all 103 stores nationwide set to close
and around 550 staff to lose their jobs.
The news comes after Daniel Austin Walley, Phil Carter and Mark
Robinson of PPB Advisory were appointed administrators of Homeart
on January 23. Rumours of a possible liquidation had circulated
among staff in recent days, the report notes.
SmartCompany says the only Homeart stores still trading in
Victoria are the outlets at Broadmeadows and Northland, with all
other stores closing and their staff made redundant as of
March 25.
Staff were told by store and state managers that administrators
PPB Advisory had not found any buyers for the chain and have
decided to close all its stores in Australia, according to
SmartCompany.
SmartCompany relates that along with a redundancy letter,
employees were given an information sheet from the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission about insolvency.
"We advise that your store has ceased to trade and the company no
longer requires your services under your contract of employment.
Accordingly, your employment is hereby terminated as at the date
of this letter," the redundancy letter, as cited by SmartCompany,
said. "Your payment summary will be forwarded to you at the end of
the financial year."
One of the chain's Victorian employees, who asked not to be named,
told SmartCompany March 24 was her last day with the company.
"Just before the administration our pay was late, which we realise
now was probably due to a lack of funds and we were receiving
emails telling us to pre-bank as much as we could during the day
so that our pay would go through," the report quotes the employee
as saying. "The staff at my store were told all of the stores in
Victoria would be gone before Easter, so Broadmeadows and
Northland don't have long left," the employee said.
The employee says high shopping centre rents may have contributed
to the company's financial woes, the report adds.
Homeart Pty Ltd, previously known as Copperart, was one of
Australia's largest specialty retailers, selling a wide range of
consumer goods, electrical appliances and homewares.
Daniel Walley, Phil Carter and Mark Robinson of PPB Advisory were
appointed as Voluntary Administrators of Homeart Pty Ltd,
Copperart Pty Ltd and Copperart Holdings Pty Ltd on Jan. 22, 2015.
At the time of the appointment, the Homeart chain had 116 stores
nationwide, with around 600 employees, but no longer had any
franchises, SmartCompany said.
KWIK KOPY: Franchisee Enters Voluntary Administration
------------------------------------------------------
Wayne Robinson at ProPrint reports that following the closure of
Fairfax's sparkling new print site in Tullamarine, the Kwik Kopy
franchisee in the same suburb is also about to close its doors,
entering voluntary administration on March 20.
ProPrint says Glenn Sykes, who took over as sole owner 18 months
ago cites staffing and investment issues as the causes of his
difficulties. According to the report, Mr. Sykes said print is a
'tough business as it is', but with the economic downturn and
declining volumes, last year was worse than 2013 -- when he took
over the business from his partner.
"It was worse than the GFC, and when a business spirals down, it
spirals pretty quickly. The last three months were disastrous. So
the best thing was to seek administration before I acquired more
debt," the report quotes Mr. Sykes as saying. "The business
needed a change of direction and I took over the business to take
it further, I wanted to expand our services into digital and was
looking to get into the corporate sector. But the staff did not
like the changes, and did not want to be retrained, so I lost 80
years' worth of experience when two of my long term staff members
decided to retire. To make matters worse a lot of the equipment
failed, which I could not afford to fix or replace, which forced
me to send jobs out, hurting the business further."
The franchise first started in 1989, with Mr. Sykes and his former
partner buying it after the GFC, Mr. Sykes then taking sole
ownership 18 months ago. The business had four staff, although
only one is still there, the report adds.
NATIONAL BUILDING: First Creditors' Meeting Slated For April 2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ozem Kassem and Dino Travaglini of Cor Cordis Chartered
Accountants were appointed as administrators of National Building
Network Pty Limited on March 23, 2015.
A first meeting of the creditors of the Company will be held at
Conference Room, Plaza Centre, BGC Centre, Level 8, 28 The
Esplanade, in Perth, on April 2, 2015, at 10:30 a.m.
PAPERLINX LTD: In Talks With Lenders Over Possible Loan Breach
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian reports that PaperlinX is in talks with its
European financiers amid fears it may have breached the terms of a
loan.
PaperlinX (PPX) put its shares in a trading halt on March 26,
telling investors it was in talks to work out if there had been a
breach of a banking covenant.
The Australian relates that the news comes just weeks after
PaperlinX announced a AUD90.8 million half year loss stemming from
problems in Europe.
The result was unveiled a week after its chief executive was
sacked and replaced, the report notes.
Based in Australia, PaperlinX Limited (ASX:PPX) --
http://www.paperlinx.com.au/-- is a fine paper merchant and
manufacturer of communication and packaging paper. PaperlinX
employs over 9,600 people in 28 countries.
PaperlinX reported an annual loss of AUD108 million in the 2011
financial year, a loss of AUD225 million in 2010, and a loss of
AUD798 million in 2009.
PaperlinX made a net loss of AUD90.2 million in the 2012/13
financial year, an improvement on a AUD266.7 million loss in the
prior year, Australian Associated Press said.

KAISA GROUP: Offshore Creditors Tap Moelis as Financial Adviser
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lianting Tu and David Yong at Bloomberg News report that offshore
creditors of Kaisa Group Holdings have engaged Moelis & Co. as
their financial adviser to try and seek a better deal, people
familiar with the matter said March 24.
Bloomberg relates that the U.S. investment bank will review
Kaisa's proposal to trim interest payments on about $1.95 billion
of dollar bonds and some $531 million of yuan-denominated notes,
the people said, asking not to be identified because the details
are private. Offshore bondholders may make a counter proposal in
coming weeks, they said, Bloomberg relays.
"Both parties are looking for a resolution without going into
liquidation," Bloomberg quotes Thu-Ha Chow, the head of Asian
credit at Aberdeen Asset Management Plc in Singapore, as saying
prior to S&P's statement. "If the offshore bondholders get a good
deal in the end through the restructuring negotiation, it will be
positive for China's property sector because it shows there's some
teeth in offshore bond documentation."
Nine funds holding more than 25 percent of Kaisa's about $2.5
billion of offshore bonds formed a steering committee to consider
a counteroffer, people familiar with the matter said earlier this
month, Bloomberg recalls.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on March
26 Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it had lowered its
long-term corporate credit rating on Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. to
'D' from 'SD'. S&P also lowered its long-term issue ratings on
the China-based property developer's senior unsecured notes to 'D'
from 'CC'. As a result of the downgrade, S&P lowered its long-
term Greater China regional scale rating on Kaisa to 'D' from 'SD'
and on the notes to 'D' from 'cnCC'.
"We downgraded Kaisa after the company missed coupon payments on
its senior unsecured notes of US$250 million (maturing in 2017)
and US$800 million (2020)," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Dennis Lee.
Coupon payments of about US$52 million were due on March 18 and
March 19, 2015.
S&P do not anticipate that the company will make the payment
within the 30-day grace period, given its stressed liquidity. S&P
also do not believe that Kaisa will pay its other debt
obligations, given its ongoing negotiations with onshore and
offshore creditors.
Frank Chen, a Kaisa investor relations official, confirmed by
phone the company didn't pay its two coupons, Bloomberg notes.
About Kaisa Group
China-based Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. (HKG:1638) --
http://www.kaisagroup.com/english/-- is an investment holding
company, and its subsidiaries are engaged in property development,
property investment and property management.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on March
9, 2015, Moody's Investors Service said that Kaisa Group Holdings
Ltd's proposed onshore debt restructuring, if successful, will
constitute a distressed debt exchange -- a default event under
Moody's definition -- but has no immediate impact on its Ca
corporate family and senior unsecured debt ratings. The
transaction will also help reduce near-term liquidity stress. The
ratings remain under review for upgrade.
On February 9, 2015, Kaisa announced the resumption of trading in
its shares and provided some updates on recent developments,
including interest payments under its 2013 senior notes, demand
notices for payment against the company, and court proceedings.
On February 6, 2015, Sunac China Holdings Limited (Ba3 stable) and
Kaisa jointly announced that Sunac conditionally agreed to acquire
49.25% of Kaisa's outstanding shares from its major shareholder,
Mr. Kwok Ying Shing and his family members.
The completion of the share purchase is conditional on a number of
factors, including the resolution of Kaisa's debt payments, the
waiver by creditors of any actions against breaches of the terms
of existing debt due to the share purchase, the resolution of all
existing disputes and court applications faced by the company, the
resolution of irregularities in Kaisa's business operations, and
shareholder approvals for certain actions.
KAISA GROUP: Talks Continue After Creditors Reject Restructuring
----------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Whitfield at The Deal reports that Kaisa Group Holdings said
that talks with a committee representing the holders of more than
50% of its bonds are continuing after the bondholders rejected its
restructuring proposal as unfair.
"The bondholder group has indicated its willingness to work
constructively with the company and it plans to engage a financial
adviser," Kaisa said in a stock market filing published March 22,
the report relays. "The . . . current liquidity situation requires
that the relevant parties quickly agree to the terms of any
revised proposal."
The Deal notes that Kaisa can't meet payments on its roughly $2.5
billion of loans and is running low on cash after legal action by
domestic creditors and a local government froze many of its
assets, leaving it unable to sell properties or access much of its
cash. According to the report, Kaisa's loans include about $138
million of foreign loans from creditors including HSBC Holdings
(HSBC) and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (IDCBF), as
well as offshore convertible notes and senior debt.
Kaisa warned this month that it will collapse if it can't finalize
a takeover by Hong Kong-listed property developer Sunac China
Holdings, the report says. That deal is, in turn, dependent on an
agreement on the debt restructuring.
Kaisa has asked its convertible bondholders to extend maturity
dates by five years to December 2020 and accept a new coupon rate
of 2.7%, down from 8%. It has also asked the holders of 2016 high-
yield notes to push their maturity date back to 2021 and cut their
coupon rate to 2.1%, from 6.88%, The Deal notes.

BRATTLE FOODS: CRISIL Reaffirms B- Rating on INR10MM Cash Credit
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Brattle Foods Pvt Ltd
(BFPL; part of the Brattle group) continues to reflect the group's
small scale of operations in the fragmented industry;
fragmentation results in low profitability due to less bargaining
power with reputed customers and competition from the unorganised
sector.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Cash Credit/Overdraft 10 CRISIL B-/Stable (Reaffirmed)
facility
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 4.6 CRISIL B-/Stable (Reaffirmed)
The rating also reflects the group's constrained financial
flexibility because of a small net worth and moderate gearing.
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by funding support
available from the Brattle group's promoters, and its established
customer base.
For arriving at the rating, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of BFPL and its wholly owned subsidiary
Laxman Logistics Pvt Ltd (LLPL). This is because the two companies
together referred to as the Brattle group, have significant
operational linkages and have common management.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that the Brattle group will continue to benefit
over the medium term from its established client base. The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if the group improves its operating
profitability and demonstrates efficient working capital
management. Conversely, the outlook maybe revised to 'Negative' in
case of sustained pressure on the Brattle group's revenue and
profitability or if the group's working capital requirements are
larger than expected, resulting in weakening of its financial risk
profile.
BFPL, set up in 2010, provides warehousing services to quick
service restaurants (QSRs). It provides cold storage facility for
fast food chains and brands at its warehouses located in nine
cities across the country.
LLPL, set up in 2009, is a wholly owned subsidiary of BFPL. It
undertakes transportation for QSRs for frozen products from their
kitchens to warehouses and restaurants. The company has its own
fleet of refrigerated trucks.
The group reported a net loss of INR150 million on revenue of
INR381 million for 2013-14 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31) as against a net loss of INR90 million on revenue of
INR220 million for 2012-13.
CHALLANI JEWELLERY: CRISIL Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR110MM Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the long-term bank facilities of Challani
Jewellery Mart (CJM) continues to reflect CJM's limited track
record, modest scale of operations, and exposure to intense
competition in the retail jewellery industry. These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive experience of
CJM's partners in the retail jewellery industry.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Cash Credit 110 CRISIL B+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that CJM will continue to benefit over the medium
term from its partners' extensive industry experience. The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' in case of significant and
sustainable growth in the firm's revenue and margins along with
steady capital structure. Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Negative' if case of lower-than expected cash accruals or if
its working capital cycle lengthens considerably.
Update
CJM reported moderate operating income of INR411 million for 2013-
14 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), supported by
healthy demand for its product and established relationships with
customers. Its operating profitability was low, at 2.20 per cent,
thereby constraining cash accruals to INR2.67 million in 2013-14.
CJM's moderate financial risk profile is marked by moderate net
worth of INR178 million and low total outside liabilities to
tangible net worth ratio of 0.51 times as on March 31, 2014. The
financial risk profile is expected to remain moderate over the
medium term, with stable accretion to reserves.
CJM's liquidity is restricted by its large working capital
requirements marked by gross current assets of 234 days as on
March 31, 2014. Hence, the firm utilised its bank line
extensively, at an average of 94 per cent over the 12 months
through January 2015. Its annual cash accruals are expected at
around INR4.6 million vis-a-vis nil debt obligations for 2014-15
Set up in 2012 as a partnership firm of Mr. R J Jayanthi Lal
Challani, Mr. J Goutham Chand, and Mr. J J Sripal, CJM retails
gold and diamond ornaments. The firm operates a single showroom in
Chennai.
CHANDRA ENGINEERS: CARE Assigns B+ Rating to INR9.59cr LT Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE B+' rating to the bank facilities of Chandra
Engineers.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 9.59 CARE B+ Assigned
Rating Rationale
The rating assigned to the bank facilities of Chandra Engineers
(CHE) is primarily constrained by the small and fluctuating scale
of operations, working capital intensive nature of operations,
leveraged capital structure, weak debt service indicators and
customer concentration risk. The rating is further constrained by
risk associated with residual project completion, CHE's presence
in a highly fragmented industry, susceptibility of margins to
fluctuation in raw material prices and its constitution as a
proprietorship concern.
The rating, however, draws strength from the experienced
proprietor, CHE's long track record of operations and moderate
profitability margins.
Going forward, CHE's ability to increase its scale of operations
while maintaining profitability margins, improving the capital
structure and efficient management of working capital requirements
will be the key rating sensitivities.
Chandra Engineers (CHE) is a proprietorship concern established by
Mr Satish Chandra in January 1968. CHE is engaged in the
manufacturing of engineering goods viz electrical stampings,
laminations and sheet metal components. The firm has its
manufacturing unit located in Manesar, Gurgaon (Haryana) which is
ISO 9001: 2000 certified for quality management systems. The firm
primarily procures the raw material (steel sheet, iron rivets,
copper sheet, magnets, and silicon sponge) from manufacturers
located in Haryana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. CHE directly
sells all products manufactured mainly to Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) located domestically.
For FY14 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31), CHE achieved
a Total Operating Income (TOI) of INR14.46 crore with PBILDT and
PAT of INR1.68 crore and INR0.33 crore respectively as against TOI
of INR10.02 crore with PBILDT and PAT of INR1.44 crore and INR0.24
crore respectively in FY13. As per the unaudited results, the firm
has achieved sales of INR10.08 crore for 9MFY15 (refers to the
period April 01 to December 31).
GOLDEN JUBILEE: CARE Ups Rating on INR495cr LT Bank Loan to B
-------------------------------------------------------------
CARE revises the ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Golden
Jubilee Hotels Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 495 CARE B Revised from
CARE D
Long-term/Short-term Bank 50 CARE B/CARE A4 Revised
Facilities from CARE D
Rating Rationale
The revision in the ratings take into account the improved
liquidity position on account of tie-up of cost overrun and
commencement of operation of the hotel Trident at Hyderabad.
Furthermore the ratings continue to factor in the experienced
promoters and agreement with EIH Ltd. for management & marketing
of the Hotel Trident. The ratings, however, continue to be
constrained by the relatively large-sized project with further
time and cost overrun in the project, high post project
implementation risk, significant time-lag required for
stabilization of operation and intense competition from the
existing and upcoming hotels in Hyderabad with the presence of
huge room inventory. Ability of the company to stabilize the
operation of Trident with improvement in profit from operations
and successfully complete the balance portion of the project
within the revised timeline without any further cost overrun are
the key rating sensitivities.
Golden Jubilee Hotels Ltd. (GJHL) was incorporated as Golden
Jubilee Estates Ltd in December, 1996 and remained dormant till
2004. The name of the company was changed to the current
nomenclature in December, 2006. GJHL is a special purpose vehicle
formed for the development of two five Star hotel properties under
the name of Trident and Oberoi at Hyderabad under a Public Private

GNA UDYOG: CARE Assigns D Rating to INR30cr LT Bank Loan
--------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE D' rating to the bank facilities of GNA Udyog
Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long term Bank Facilities 30 CARE D Assigned
Rating Rationale
The rating assigned to the bank facilities of GNA Udyog Ltd.
(GNAUL) factors in the ongoing delays in the servicing of the
interest and principle repayment due to stressed liquidity
position GNA Udyog Ltd. was founded in 1980 and is a part of the
GNA group which was founded by late Mr. Amar Singh. The company is
led by Mr Rachpal Singh (Chairman) and Mr Gursaran Singh (Managing
director). GNAUL is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for
various automobile companies. The product range of the company
includes Rear Axle Shafts and U. J. Crosses, Propeller Shaft
Assemblies, Hydraulic Lift Shafts, Steering components, Wheel
Spanners, Brake S-cam Shafts and forgings for the automobile
industry, for use in all types of light, medium and heavy
vehicles.
GNAUL registered a total operating income of INR62.40 crore during
FY14 (Prov.) (refers to the period April 1 to March 31) with net
losses of INR3.15 crore as against a total operating income of
INR98.62 crore with PAT of INR0.64 crore in FY13.
GSR VENTURES: CRISIL Reaffirms B Rating on INR170MM Bank Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of GSR Ventures Pvt Ltd
(GSR) continue to reflect GSR's small scale of operations in the
intensely competitive construction industry, its large working
capital requirements, and the high degree of geographic
concentration in its order book.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Bank Guarantee 250 CRISIL A4 (Reaffirmed)
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 170 CRISIL B/Stable (Reaffirmed)
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive
experience of GSR's promoters in the construction industry and the
company's above-average financial risk profile marked by low
gearing and moderate debt protection metrics.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that GSR will continue to benefit over the medium
term on the back of its promoters' extensive industry experience.
The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if there is a substantial
and sustained increase in the company's revenues, while
maintaining its profitability margins, or there is a sustained
improvement in its working capital management. Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case of a steep decline in
the company's profitability margins or significant deterioration
in its capital structure caused most likely by a stretch in its
working capital cycle.
GSR was set up as a partnership firm in 1971 by Mr. G. Sivakumar
Reddy and his family members; it was reconstituted as a private
limited company in 2008. The company is engaged in civil
construction, and mainly undertakes canal earthwork excavation and
construction of bridges. The company is based in Hyderabad.
HARA PARBATI: CRISIL Reaffirms D Rating on INR40MM Cash Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Hara Parbati Cold
Storage Pvt Ltd (HPCSPL) continues to reflect the instances of
delay by HPCSPL in servicing its debt; the delays have been caused
by the company's weak liquidity because of working-capital-
intensive operations.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Bank Guarantee 1.2 CRISIL D (Reaffirmed)
Cash Credit 40 CRISIL D (Reaffirmed)
Term Loan 16.1 CRISIL D (Reaffirmed)
Working Capital
Loan 7.7 CRISIL D (Reaffirmed)
HPCSPL also has a modest scale of operations and weak financial
risk profile marked by low net worth and low accruals. The ratings
also factor in the company's susceptibility to adverse regulatory
changes and to intense competition in the West Bengal (WB) cold
storage industry. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by
the extensive industry experience and established regional
position of HPCSPL's promoters.
Update
HPCSPL has contracted seasonal cash credit limit of around INR40
million with bank to extend financial assistance to farmers. As
per the terms, the CC facilities were to be completely repaid by
December 31, 2014. However, the entire limit could not be
completely repaid by the due date, as the company faced a
significant delay in realizations of payment from farmers, leading
to weak liquidity. As per latest available financials information
for 2012-13 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31),
HPSCL's revenues increased to around INR47.2 million from INR22.8
million for 2011-12. In 2012-13 due to increase in trading
revenues backed by better demand scenario for potatoes in 2012-13.
The operating margins have deteriorated to 12.2 per cent on
account of lower realizations arising out of the trading segment.
As a result the company's PAT have decreased to INR46.5 million in
2012-13 as against INR99 million in the previous year. HPCSPL's
net worth was negative as on March 31, 2013 and it is expected to
remain at such level in near term as well. HPCSPL's eroded net
worth exposes its credit risk profile to sudden changes in
business condition. CRISIL expects HPCSPL's financial risk profile
to remain weak over the medium term.
Incorporated in 1996, HPCSPL provides cold storage facilities to
potato farmers and traders. It also undertakes potato trading. Its
cold storage facility is in Hooghly district (WB).
HARIKRISHNA COTGIN: CARE Raises Rating on INR6.91cr LT Loan to B
----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE revises the rating assigned to bank facilities of Harikrishna
Cotgin Private Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long term Bank Facilities 6.91 CARE B Revised from
CARE D
Rating Rationale
The revision in the rating assigned to the bank facilities of
Harikrishna Cotgin Private Limited (HCPL) is primarily on account
of improvement in debt servicing track record. However, the rating
continues to remain constrained due to low profit margins,
leveraged capital structure and weak debt coverage indicators.
Furthermore, the rating continues to remain constrained on account
of modest scale of operations in highly fragmented cotton
industry, seasonality associated with the procurement of cotton,
susceptibility of profitability to cotton price fluctuation and
changes in the government policy. The rating also takes into
consideration decline in the total operating income (TOI) and cash
accrual along with deterioration in debt coverage indicators and
moderation in capital structure during FY14 (refers to the period
April 1 to March 31).
The rating, however, continue to derive benefit from the rich
experience of the promoters in cotton ginning business and
proximity to raw material procurement region of Gujarat.
HCPL's ability to increase its scale of operations, improvement in
its profit margins, capital structure and liquidity position with
better management of its working capital remain the key rating
sensitivities.
Rajkot-based (Gujarat) HCPL was incorporated in April 2007 by Mr
Manu Radadiya, Mr Maya Bhammar and Mr Arjan Bhammar. HCPL is
engaged in cotton ginning & pressing and oil extraction from
cottonseeds at its unit in Gariadhar, Rajkot. HCPL started its
commercial operations in FY09 with an installed capacity of 33
metric tonnes per day (MTPD) for cotton bales. Furthermore, in
December 2009, HCPL has diversified into cottonseed oil extraction
and established oil mill section with three expellers having a
production capacity of 6 MTPD.
INDIAN MARINE: CRISIL Puts B+ Rating on INR60MM Packing Credit
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B+/Stable/CRISIL A4' ratings to
the bank facilities of Indian Marine Industries (IMI).
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 9.9 CRISIL B+/Stable
Export Packing Credit 60.0 CRISIL B+/Stable
Bank Guarantee 0.1 CRISIL A4
Export Bill Purchase-
Discounting 30 CRISIL A4
The ratings reflect IMI's modest scale of operations and low
profitability in the competitive marine food products export
industry. The ratings also factor in the firm's average financial
risk profile marked by its aggressive capital structure and
average debt protection metrics. These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by the extensive industry experience of IMI's
promoters and the firm's controlled working capital management.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that IMI will continue to benefit over the medium
term from its promoters' extensive industry experience. The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if significant improvement in
revenue and profitability leads to a substantial increase in the
firm's cash accruals. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' if low cash accruals, stretch in working capital cycle,
or any large capital expenditure weakens IMI's financial risk
profile, especially liquidity.
IMI, a partnership firm, was set up by Mr. A M Ruhaila and Mr. A U
Muhammed Ashraf. The firm processes and exports marine products
such as tuna, mackerel, cuttlefish, and squid and its processing
facilities are based in Kochi (Kerala).
KC EDUCATIONAL: CARE Assigns D Rating to INR60cr LT Bank Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE D' ratings to the bank facilities of KC
Educational and Social Welfare Society.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long term Bank Facilities 60 CARE D Assigned
Rating Rationale
The rating assigned to the bank facilities of KC Educational and
Social Welfare Society (KEWS) factors in the ongoing delays in the
servicing of the interest and principle repayment due to stressed
liquidity position
Established in 2008 by Mr Prem Pal Gandhi and his family members,
KEWS is a society registered under Himachal Pradesh
Societies Registration Act, 2006. KEWS is a family-run society
with the objective to provide education services. For the same,
the society started under graduate and post graduate courses under
the flagship brand of 'K.C Group of Institutions'. The first
academic session was started in 2009-'10. KEWS is also running a
school 'K.C Public School' in Pandoga, Himachal Pradesh affiliated

and one school under the brand name of 'K.C Group of
Institutions'.
The society is offering courses in the field of management,
engineering, polytechnic and pharmaceutical along with the school

FY14 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31) with net losses of
INR2.28 crore as against a total operating income of INR8.44 crore
with net losses of INR0.96 crore in FY13.
KUNAL LOHACHEM: CARE Reaffirms B Rating on INR6cr LT Loan
---------------------------------------------------------
CARE reaffirms rating assigned to the bank facilities of Kunal
Lohachem Private Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 6 CARE B Reaffirmed
Rating Rationale
The ratings for the bank facilities of Kunal Lohachem Pvt Ltd
(KLPL) continue to remain constrained by its relatively small size
of operation in the highly fragmented & competitive industry,
susceptibility of profitability to volatile trading material price
and weak financial risk profile marked by operating losses,
leveraged capital structure and weak debt service coverage
indicators.
The ratings, however, draw comfort from the long track record &
satisfactory experience of the promoters in the iron & steel
industry.
Going forward, the ability of the company to grow its scale of
operation with improvement in profitability margins along with
effective working capital management would be the key rating
sensitivities.
KLPL incorporated in May 1997, and was promoted by Mr Praveen
Kumar Jain and Mr S. K. Verma of Raipur, Chhattisgarh. KLPL is
engaged in the trading of H.B wire, G.I. wire and MS round bar,
barbed wire and wire nails. This apart, the company is also
engaged in converting HB wire into GI wires on job work basis. The
company sells its products to dealers and retailers located in
Chhattisgarh. The application of products sold by KLPL is largely
used in industries like power, construction, automobile,
engineering, etc. Besides, the company also undertakes money
lending activities whereby the company lent its own funds to
outside & associate companies and receives interest on them.
In FY14, the company has reported a total operating income of
INR79.83 crore (as against INR76.32 crore in FY13) and PAT INR0.13
crore (as against INR0.03 crore in FY13). Till December 2014, the
company has maintained to have achieved revenue of INR61.25 crore.
MAHAVEER GINNING: CARE Revises Rating on INR7.31cr LT Loan to B+
----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE revises/reaffirms the rating assigned to the bank facilities
of Mahaveer Ginning & Pressing Factory.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long term Bank Facilities 7.31 CARE B+ Revised from
CARE B
Short term Bank Facilities 0.90 CARE A4 Reaffirmed
The ratings assigned by CARE are based on the capital deployed by
the proprietor and the financial strength of the firm at present.
The rating may undergo a change in case of withdrawal of capital
or the unsecured loans brought in by the proprietor in addition to
the financial performance and other relevant factors.
Rating Rationale
The revision in the long-term rating of Mahaveer Ginning &
Pressing Factory (MGPF) factors in the improvement in solvency
indicators along with high capacity utilisation. The ratings,
however, continue to derive strength from the experience of
proprietor, proximity to the cotton growing areas of Maharashtra
and geographically diversified customer base.
The ratings continue to be constrained on account of working
capital-intensive nature of business operations, presence in
competitive and fragmented cotton ginning industry, susceptibility
of operating margins to fluctuation in the cotton prices, and
seasonality associated with cotton availability. The ratings are
further constrained on account of its constitution as a
proprietorship firm and impact of the government policies related
to cotton.
The ability of the firm to increase its scale of operations while
moving up in the cotton value chain and improvement in the
financial risk profile while managing the price volatility of the
raw material continue to remain the key rating sensitivities.
Jalna-based (Maharashtra), MGPF was set up by Mr Devendra
Chhallani as a proprietorship firm in the year 2008. The firm was
set up to undertake the business of cotton ginning and cotton
seeds extraction. MGPF operates from its sole manufacturing plant
at Wadgaon (Jalna) with an installed capacity of 13,651 metric
tonnes per annum (MTPA) of cotton bales as on March 31, 2014.
Furthermore, the firm extracts around 8,600 MTPA of cotton seeds
in the ginning and pressing process as a by-product. The firm has
utilised around 85% of its installed capacity for cotton bales in
FY14 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31). MGPF operates
only for eight months during when cotton is available in abundant.
In FY14, MGPF reported a total operating income of INR30.50 crore
and net profit of INR0.20 crore as against a total operating
income of INR29.43 crore and net profit of INR0.17 crore in FY13.
MILLION CERAMIC: CRISIL Assigns B+ Rating to INR60MM LT Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B+/Stable/CRISIL A4' ratings to
the bank facilities of Million Ceramic (Million).
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Working Capital Loan 27.5 CRISIL B+/Stable
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 0.5 CRISIL B+/Stable
Bank Guarantee 12.0 CRISIL A4
Long Term Loan 60.0 CRISIL B+/Stable
The ratings reflect Million's start-up phase, and expected modest
scale of operations in the highly competitive ceramics industry.
The ratings also factor in the company's large working capital
requirements. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
promoters' extensive industry experience and strategic location of
upcoming factory.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that Million will benefit over the medium term
from its promoters' extensive industry experience. The outlook may
be revised to 'Positive' if the company improves its financial
risk profile and promptly stabilises its operations, leading to
substantial cash accruals. Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Negative' if BTPL's financial risk profile weakens owing to
significantly low cash accruals, or substantial working capital
requirements or debt-funded capital expenditure.
Incorporated in Morbi, Gujarat in 2014, Million is promoted by Mr.
Khimjibhai Patel, Mr. Ashvinbhai Patel and Mr. Pareshbhai Patel
and family members. The company is setting up a unit to
manufacture digital wall tiles, and is likely to begin commercial
operations in May 2015.
MINOP INNOVATIVE: CRISIL Assigns B+ Rating to INR10MM Cash Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B+/Stable/CRISIL A4' ratings to
the bank facilities and 'FB+/Stable' rating to fixed deposit
programme of Minop Innovative Technologies Pvt Ltd (MITPL).
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Proposed Short Term 10 CRISIL A4
Bank Loan Facility
Bank Guarantee 90 CRISIL A4
Cash Credit 10 CRISIL B+/Stable
The ratings reflect MITPL's initial stage of operations and its
exposure to high project concentration risks. The ratings also
factor in the company's small net worth, constraining its
financial risk profile. These rating weaknesses are partially
offset by the extensive experience of MITPL's promoters in the
underground mining segment.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that MITPL will continue to benefit over the
medium term from its promoters' extensive industry experience and
its long-term contract with Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL),
providing it with healthy revenue visibility. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' in case of a substantial increase in the
company's accruals, driven by a significant ramp in its scale of
operations and an improvement in its operating profitability,
leading to better business profile liquidity. Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case of a slow ramp in
MITPL's scale of operations, low accruals, stretch in its working
capital, and debt-funded capital expenditure.
MITPL, incorporated in December 2005, has undertaken a contract
for development of the Muraidih underground mines (located in
Jharkhand) of BCCL and extraction of coal from Muraidih I and III
seam. The contract was awarded in 2011; the work includes
exploration and preparation of a mining plan, construction of
necessary infrastructure, supply of equipment, and operation and
maintenance of the mine. MITPL has obtained the contract under a
consortium with MITPL being the consortium leader.

facilities of OP Motors Pvt Ltd (OPML).

Term Loan 15 CRISIL B/Stable
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 45 CRISIL B/Stable
Cash Credit 10 CRISIL B/Stable
Inventory Funding
Facility 30 CRISIL B/Stable
The rating reflects OPML's weak financial risk profile marked by
moderate total outside liabilities to tangible net worth (TOLTNW)
and weak debt protection metrics, and modest scale of operations.
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits that
the company derives from its relationship with Nissan Motor India
Pvt Ltd (NMPL).
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that OPML will benefit from its healthy
relationship with NMPL. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive'
in case OPML's financial risk profile improves driven by ramp up
in scale of operations, along with improvement in operating margin
or equity infusion by promoters. Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' in case of deterioration in OPML's financial
risk profile due to low cash accruals, increase in working capital
requirement, or further debt-funded capital expenditure (capex).
Established in 2012, OPML is a NMPL dealer for passenger cars in
Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan). It is operating one showroom and two
sales offices in the district. The company is promoted by Mr.
Saurabh Bathala and his father, Mr. Ashwani Bathala. OPML started
operations in October 2013.
OPML reported a net loss of INR0.2 million on net sales of INR60
million for 2013-14 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31).
PACIFIC PIPE: CRISIL Reaffirms D Rating on INR642MM Term Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL ratings on the bank facilities of Pacific Pipe Systems Pvt
Ltd (PPSPL) continue to reflect instances of delay by PPSPL in
meeting its debt obligations owing to weak liquidity. The company
continued to incur cash losses in 2013-14 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31) on account of operating losses and high
interest burden. Its financial risk profile is weak, marked by a
negative net worth and weak debt protection metrics.

---------- --------- -------
Cash Credit 147 CRISIL D (Reaffirmed)
Letter of credit &
Bank Guarantee 332 CRISIL D (Reaffirmed)

The ratings also reflect PPSPL's exposure to intense competition
from established and substitute products, such as ductile iron
pipes and mild steel pipes.
Incorporated in 2008, PPSPL manufactures glass-reinforced
polyester (GRP) and glass-reinforced epoxy pipes. The Doshion
group owns 85 per cent stake in PPSPL, while the remaining 15 per
cent is held by Pacific Composites India Pvt Ltd (PCIPL).
For 2013-14, PPSPL reported a provisional net loss of INR246
million on an operating income of INR447 million, against a net
loss of INR144 million on an operating income of INR891 million in
2012-13.
RAUSHEENA UDYOG: CARE Assigns B+ Rating to INR22.45cr LT Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE B+/CARE A4' ratings to the bank facilities of
Rausheena Udyog Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 22.45 CARE B+ Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 21.50 CARE A4 Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Rausheena Udyog Ltd
(RUL) is constrained by low profitability margin due to stiff
competition, profitability susceptible to volatility in raw
material prices, working capital intensive nature of business,
vulnerable financial risk profile with tight liquidity position
and project implementation risk. The ratings weakness is, however,
partially offset by experienced promoters, diversified revenue mix
and increase in scale of operation during FY12-FY14 (refers to the
period April 1 to March 31). The ability of the company to
increase its profitability amidst competition and improvement in
financial risk profile are the key rating sensitivities.
Raushena Udyog Ltd. (RUL) was incorporated in 1998 by Mr Saroj
Agarwal in Shillong, Meghalaya. RUL is engaged in 3 divisions:
processed food, engineering and trading. The process food division
manufactures ready to eat food products and supplies to government
nutrition program. The engineering division manufactures steel
casting products and supplies to Indian Railways. The trading

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL D' rating to the long term bank
facilities of S.L.V. Enterprises (SLV).
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Term Loan 90 CRISIL D
The rating reflects instances of delay by SLV in servicing of term
debt obligations on account of the company's weak liquidity,
driven by its large working capital requirements. SLV also has a
below-average financial risk profile, marked by modest net worth,
high gearing and moderate debt protection metrics. These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive industry
experience of its promoters.
Set up in 2001 as a proprietorship firm by Mr. Raghavendra Achar,
SLV is involved in freight transportation services. Based out of
Bangalore, the firm is the preferred vendor for Hindustan Coca
Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd, Future Supply Chain Logistics among
others.
S.V. ELECTRONICS: CRISIL Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR140MM Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of S.V. Electronics
Limited(SVEL) continue to reflect SVEL's large working capital
requirements, below average financial risk profile marked by small
net worth, high total outside liabilities to tangible net worth
ratio and below average debt protection metrics, and exposure to
intense competition in the computer hardware dealership business.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Bank Guarantee 20 CRISIL A4 (Reaffirmed)
Cash Credit 140 CRISIL B+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by SVEL's established
presence in the computer hardware, peripherals, and accessories
market in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh (AP), supported by its
promoters' extensive industry experience.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that SVEL will continue to benefit over the medium
term from its established regional presence in the computer
hardware, peripherals, and accessories market, and its promoters'
extensive industry experience. The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' if the company registers a sustained improvement in its
working capital management or if its capital structure improves on
a substantial basis on the back of equity infusion by the
promoters. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in
case of a steep decline in SVEL's profitability margins, or
deterioration in its capital structure on account of larger-than-
expected working capital requirements or large debt-funded capital
expenditure.
SVEL was incorporated in 1999 by Mr. Venkateshwar Rao and his
family members. SVEL deals in computer hardware, peripherals and
Accessories. The company operates four retail stores in Hyderabad
(Telangana) and one in Visakhapatnam (AP).

Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 53.21 CARE D Revised from
CARE C
Short-term Bank Facilities 77.79 CARE D Revised from
CARE A4
Rating Rationale
The revision in the ratings of Saumya Mining Ltd (SML) is due to
ongoing delays in debt servicing on account of stressed liquidity
position of the company. The ability of the company to improve its
liquidity and regularise its debt servicing will be the key rating
sensitivity.
SML was originally promoted as a proprietorship firm by Mr.
Anoopchand Jain in September 1955 but got converted into private
limited company in August 1996. The company is engaged into
support services related to mining activities such as site
leveling, excavation, evacuation, surface mining, drilling &

---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 8.52 CARE D Reaffirmed
Rating Rationale
The rating assigned to the bank facilities of Seven Star Hotel &

SHAILJA TEXPRINTS: CARE Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR15.48cr Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CARE reaffirms the rating assigned to the bank facilities of
Shailja Texprints.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 15.48 CARE B+ Reaffirmed
Rating Rationale
The rating of Shailja Texprints (STP) continues to remain
constrained on account of its modest scale of operations with low
net worth base, constitution as a proprietorship concern, thin
profitability margin, weak solvency and weak liquidity position
and its limited presence in the textile value chain. The rating of
STP, further, remains constrained due to vulnerability of margins
to fluctuation in the raw material prices coupled with presence in
the highly fragmented and competitive industry.
The rating, however, continues to derive strength from vast
experience of the proprietor and presence in the textile belt of
India with easy access of raw material and labour.
The ability of the entity to increase its scale of operations
while maintaining of profitability margins in light of volatile
raw material prices and improvement in liquidity position is the
key rating sensitivities.
STP is a proprietorship concern, promoted by Mr. Dinesh Kumar

SHIVANI COTEX: CARE Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR9.22cr LT Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
CARE reaffirms the rating assigned to the bank facilities of
Shivani Cotex Private Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 9.22 CARE B+ Reaffirmed
Rating Rationale
The rating of Shivani Cotex Private Limited (SCPL) continues to
remain constrained on account of its modest scale of operations in
the highly fragmented and competitive industry textile processing
industry and its financial risk profile marked by thin
profitability, weak solvency position and moderate liquidity
position. The rating of SCPL, further, continues to remain
constrained due to its limited presence in the textile value chain
and vulnerability of margins to fluctuation in the raw material
prices.
The rating, however, continues to derive strength from the vast
experience of the promoters with established distribution network
and presence in the textile belt of India with easy access of raw
material and labour.
The ability of the company to increase its scale of operations
while maintaining of profitability margins in light of volatile
raw material prices and improvement in liquidity position is the
key rating sensitivities.
SCPL, incorporated in 2009, is promoted by Mr Asha Ram Digga along
with his family members and is a part of 'Annapurna Group'. Group
concerns include Annapurna Texofin Private Limited (incorporated
in 1988) which is engaged in the dyeing of fabrics, Shailja
Texprints (formed in 2007, rated: CARE B+) which is engaged in the
processing of cotton fabrics for dress materials and ladies night
wears, Shivan Mills (formed in 2005) which is engaged in the
printing for manufacturing of ladies suits, kurtis and tops.
Further, being associated with Annapurna group, SCPL is benefitted
from the established marketing network and existing client base of
'Annapurna Group' which is involved in similar line of business.
SCPL has 8 agents located in the different regions of India.
SCPL is engaged in the business of processing of cotton fabrics
and produces dyed poplin and printed dress materials. It has total
installed capacity of 85 Lakh Metre Per Annum (LMPA) for poplin
and 75 LMPA for printed dress material as on March 31, 2014. In

95% of the total installed capacity.
SCPL also does job work for others located in the local market. It
sells its products under the brand name of 'Piya Basanti' and

SHREE LAXMI: CARE Reaffirms B+/A4 Rating on INR8.30cr Loan
----------------------------------------------------------
CARE reaffirms ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Shree
Laxmi Pulse Rice & Roller Flour Mills.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term/ Short-term 8.30 CARE B+/CARE A4
Bank Facilities Reaffirmed
Rating Rationale
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Shree Laxmi Pulse
Rice & Roller Flour Mills (SLPM) continue to remain constrained on
account of its weak financial risk profile marked by thin
profitability, leveraged capital structure, weak debt coverage
indicators and working capital intensive nature of operations. The
ratings are further constrained on account of its presence in the
fragmented and highly regulated industry with low entry barriers
and exposure to the volatility associated with the raw material
prices. The ratings factor in the stagnant turnover and net losses
incurred by the firm and deterioration in capital structure and
debt coverage indicators in FY14 (refers to the period April 1to
March 31).
The ratings, however, continue to take comfort from the vast
experience of the promoters in agro trading and processing
industry.
The ability of SLPM to increase its scale of operations with
improvement in profitability and liquidity position along with
improvement in its capital structure and continued financial
support from the promoters is the key rating sensitivity.
SLPM is Dahod-based partnership firm incorporated in 1981. It is
mainly engaged in the processing and milling of various
agro based products like Wheat Flour, Maida, Sooji, Rawa, Bran
etc. with an installed capacity of 200 Metric Tonne per
Day (MTPD) as on March 31, 2014. The firm markets its products
under brand name 'Ugato Suraj', 'Charminar', 'Double King' 'Apple'
'Strawberry' and 'Mango'. SLPM is promoted by Mr Rameshchandra H
Shah and Mr Kishanchandra H Shah holding 50% profit sharing ratio
each in the firm. In addition to this, the promoters of SLPM have
interest in the same line of business through their other business
concerns, Shree Balaji Pulses Mills based out at Dahod which is
engaged in trading of agro based commodities.
As per the audited results for FY14 , SLPM reported the net loss
INR0.45 crore on a TOI of INR64.43 crore as against the profit
after tax of INR0.10 crore on a TOI of INR64.12 crore in FY13. As
per the provisional result of 11MFY15, the firm has registered the
TOI of INR55 crore.
SIYARAM GRANITO: CRISIL Assigns B+ Rating to INR267MM Term Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B+/Stable/CRISIL A4' ratings to
the bank facilities of Siyaram Granito Pvt Ltd (SGPL).
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Term Loan 267 CRISIL B+/Stable
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 14.5 CRISIL B+/Stable
Bank Guarantee 43.5 CRISIL A4
Cash Credit 120.0 CRISIL B+/Stable
The ratings reflect the company's susceptibility to risks
associated with its ongoing project, and its expected large
working capital requirements. These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by the extensive experience of SGPL's promoters
in the ceramic industry, and the proximity of its manufacturing
facilities to sources of cheap raw material and labour.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that SGPL will continue to benefit over the medium
term from its promoters' industry experience. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if the company stabilises operations at its
proposed plant on time, and reports substantial revenue and
profitability, leading to higher cash accruals. Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if SGPL faces delays in
commencement of its operations, or generates low cash accruals
during the early phase of its operations, resulting in pressure on
its liquidity.
Incorporated in 2014, SGPL is a Morbi (Gujarat)-based company. It
is setting up a unit to manufacture vitrified floor tiles. SGPL is
likely to commence its commercial operations from August 2015. The
day-to-day operations of the company will be managed by Mr. Chirag
M Ujariya.
SKILLED CONSTRUCTION: CARE Places B+ Rating on INR2.5cr LT Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE B+/CARE A4' ratings to the bank facilities of
Skilled Construction Company Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 2.50 CARE B+ Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 4.00 CARE A4 Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Skilled
Construction Company Limited (SCCL) are constrained by the small
scale of operations, fluctuating profitability margins, moderately
leveraged capital structure and weak debt coverage indicators. The
ratings are further constrained by the absence of price escalation
clause in few projects and low diversification of customer base.
The ratings, however, derive benefits derived from the promoters'
experience and comfortable order book position.
The ability of SCC to improve the scale of operations by
diversifying geographical and diversifying customer base are the
key rating sensitivities.
Background
Incorporated in 1991 as a private limited company, SCC (later
reconstituted into a public limited company in the year
1997) is a Class A contractor registered with Kerala State Public
Works Department and is engaged in the construction of bridges,
flyovers, railway over bridge and others miscellaneous work.
The company since inception has been engaged primarily in building
of road over bridges (ROB) mainly for government organisations
based in Kerala.
During FY14 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31), SCC
reported a total operating income of INR9.60 crore (up by 26.65%
vis-a-vis FY13) and PAT of INR0.20 crore (down by 7.30% vis-a-vis
FY13). In 9MFY15, SCC has posted total operating income of INR9.25
crore. Moreover, the company has an unexecuted order book of

SRI BALAJI: CRISIL Lowers Rating on INR86.9MM LT Loan to D
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Sri
Balaji Poultry Farm (Sri Balaji) to 'CRISIL D ' from 'CRISIL
B/Stable'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Long Term Loan 86.9 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
'CRISIL B/Stable')
Open Cash Credit 40 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
'CRISIL B/Stable')
Proposed Long Term 43.1 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
Bank Loan Facility 'CRISIL B/Stable')
The rating downgrade reflects the company's overdrawn cash credit
facility for more than 30 days owing to its weak liquidity.
Sri Balaji has large working capital requirements, and its
profitability margins are susceptible to volatility in raw
material prices. The firm is also exposed to intense competition
in the poultry industry, and is susceptible to risks inherent in
the poultry industry like outbreak of epidemics. The firm
continues to have a below-average financial risk profile marked by
its small net-worth, high gearing, and below-average debt
protection metrics. However, the firm benefits from its promoter's
extensive experience in the poultry industry.
Sri Balaji was established in 2008 as a proprietorship concern by
Mr. L.Kumar Goud. The firm is engaged in the production of
commercial eggs.
SRI LAXMI: CRISIL Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR90MM Cash Credit

profile marked by its small net worth, high gearing and weak debt
protection metrics.

---------- --------- -------
Cash Credit 90 CRISIL B+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
Letter of Credit 50 CRISIL A4 (Reaffirmed)
Term Loan 7.5 CRISIL B+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
The ratings of the firm are also constrained on account of its
modest scale of operations, its large working capital
requirements, its exposure to intense competition in the cotton
ginning industry resulting in its low profitability margins, and
the susceptibility of its operations to regulatory changes and
volatility in cotton prices. These rating weaknesses are partially
offset by the firm's established presence in the cotton ginning
industry supported by its promoters' extensive industry experience
and established relations with customers.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that SLE will continue to benefit over the medium
term from its promoters' extensive industry experience and
established relations with customers. The outlook may be revised
to 'Positive' if there is substantial and sustained increase in
the firm's scale of oeprations and profitability margins, or there
is substantial improvement in its capital structure on the back of
sizeable equity infusion from promoters. Conversely, the outlook
may be revised to 'Negative' in case of a steep decline in the
firm's profitability margins, or significant deterioration in its
capital structure caused most likely by a stretch in its working
capital cycle.
SLE was established as a partnership firm in 2004 by Mr. Omprakash
Agarwal and his family members. The firm is engaged in ginning and
pressing of raw cotton. The firm's ginning unit is located in
Adilabad district in Telangana. The firm currently has four
partners ' Mr. Amit Agarwal, Mr. Omprakash Agarwal, Smt.Arti
Agarwal, and Smt.Usha Agarwal.
SRI VARALAKSHMI: CRISIL Reaffirms B Rating on INR45MM Loan
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the long-term bank facilities of Sri
Varalakshmi Solvent Oils Pvt Ltd (SVSOPL) continues to reflect
SVSOPL's limited track record of operations, small scale of
operations, below-average financial risk profile marked by small
net-worth and presence in a fragmented industry with exposure to
intense competition. These rating weaknesses are partially offset
by the extensive experience of SVSOPL's promoters, and its
financial risk profile marked by marked by moderate gearing and
average debt protection metrics.
Amount

Cash Credit 28.5 CRISIL B/Stable (Reaffirmed)
Proposed Cash 45.0 CRISIL B/Stable (Reaffirmed)

CRISIL had on March 19, 2015, upgraded its rating on the long-term
bank facilities of SVSOPL to 'CRISIL B/Stable' from
'CRISIL B-/Stable'.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that SVSOPL will continue to benefit over the
medium term from its promoters' extensive industry experience. The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if there is a substantial and
sustained improvement in the company's revenues, while maintaining
its profitability margins or there is an improvement in its
working capital management. Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Negative' if there is a significant deterioration in its
capital structure on account of larger-than-expected working
capital requirements or large debt-funded capex.
SVSOPL, incorporated in the year 2010 is engaged in the business
of manufacturing of rice bran oil with a capacity of 200 tonnes of
rice bran per day. SVSOPL, promoted by Mr. Visweswara Rao and

SRINIVASA EDIFICE: ICRA Assigns B- Rating to INR14cr FB Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned the long term rating of [ICRA]B- to the INR14.00
crore fund based and short term rating of [ICRA]A4 to INR20.00
crore non fund based limits of Srinivasa Edifice Private Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Fund Based Limits 14.00 [ICRA]B- assigned
Non-Fund Based Limits 20.00 [ICRA]A4 assigned
The ratings assigned takes into account firm's small scale of
operations; significant de-growth in operating income by 15.72%
(Y-o-Y) during FY14 on account of lower order execution and
decline in profit margins during FY14. The ratings assigned also
factor in stretched liquidity position of the company resulting
into high utilization of working capital limits.
The ratings are also constrained by high geographical & sectoral
concentration with entire outstanding order book dependent upon
government departments of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana. The ratings
are further constrained with high competition in the industry
which keeps margins under check. However, the ratings assigned
positively factors in experienced promoter profile with long track
record of operations in the industry as reflected by repetitive
orders received from established client base of the company. The
rating also continue to factor in the company's presence in
diversified activities of small size and short duration projects
such as construction of roads, executing earth work for irrigation
projects and carrying out business of supplying railway ballast,
stone aggregates and sand to Indian Railways resulting into low
client and project concentration. The rating also positively
factor in moderate unexecuted order book/OI ratio of 1.01 times
providing revenue visibility for short term.
Srinivasa Edifice Private Limited (SEPL) is a Hyderabad based
infrastructure and engineering construction company providing
services in the field of Irrigation facilities works, Construction
of public buildings and Road works. The company was started as a
proprietorship in 1984 to carry on business of civil engineering

SWAGAT SYNTHETIC: CARE Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR52.59cr LT Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE reaffirms the rating assigned to the bank facilities of
Swagat Synthetic Private Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 52.59 CARE B+ Reaffirmed
Short term Bank Facilities 0.25 CARE A4 Reaffirmed
Rating Rationale
The ratings continue to remain constrained on account of the
moderate financial risk profile of Swagat Synthetic Private
Limited (SSPL) marked by moderate profitability and solvency
position coupled with stressed liquidity position. The ratings are
further continue to constrained by SSPL's operations in the highly
fragmented and competitive segment of the textile industry,
vulnerability of margins to fluctuation in raw material prices and
risk associated with stabilization of operations in its project
for capacity expansion which is highly debt funded. The ratings,
further, constrained on account of traffic risk associated with
toll road collection business.
The ratings continue to derive comfort from the vast experience of
the promoters with sound financial profile, established marketing
network and its presence in the textile cluster of Bhilwara
regarding easy access to raw material.
Increase in the scale of operations through increase in revenue
from toll collection with maintaining of profitability margins
coupled with efficient working capital management are the key
rating sensitivities.
Incorporated in 1987, Bhilwara (Rajasthan) based SSPL was promoted
by Mr. Jagdish Prasad Nuwal, Mr. Anil Kumar Nuwal and Mr
Madhusudan Nuwal. SSPL is mainly engaged in the business of
manufacturing and trading of synthetic suiting fabrics as well as
doing job work for other entities. The company manufactures grey
fabrics and outsources the processing work. It has two plants
located at Bhilwara with total installed capacity of 100.58 Lakh
Mtrs Per Annum (LMPA) during FY14 and has utilized about 85-90% of
its installed capacity in FY14. As on March 31, 2014, the company
had 92 looms.
SSPL sells its fabrics under the brand name of "Sitaram" and

During FY14, SSPL reported a total operating income of INR 60.72
crore (FY13: INR54.85 crore) with a PAT of INR0.86 crore

T. S. JAYAPRAKASH: CRISIL Assigns B Rating to INR46.5MM Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B/Stable/CRISIL A4' ratings to the
bank facilities of T.S. Jayaprakash (TSJ).
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Proposed Working 13.5 CRISIL B/Stable
Capital Facility
Bank Guarantee 20.0 CRISIL A4
Overdraft Facility 46.5 CRISIL B/Stable
The ratings reflect TSJ's modest scale, and working-capital-
intensive nature, of operations in the civil construction
industry. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
extensive industry experience of the firm's proprietor.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that TSJ will continue to benefit over the medium
term from its proprietor's extensive industry experience. The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of a significant
increase in the firm's scale of operations while it maintains its
operating profitability, or if it improves its working capital
management, resulting in a better financial risk profile.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if TSJ's
accruals decline, or if its working capital requirements increase
substantially, leading to weakening of its financial risk profile.
TSJ is a Palakkad (Kerala)-based civil contractor. Its operations
are managed by its proprietor, Mr. T S Jayaprakash.
For 2013-14 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), TSJ
reported a net profit of INR5.01 million on gross contract
receipts of INR55.35 million, against a net profit of INR4.18
million on gross contract receipts of INR55.01 million for
2012-13.
VIKAS BUILDERS: CRISIL Cuts Rating on INR150MM Term Loan to D
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its rating on the long-term bank facility of
Vikas Builders (VB) to 'CRISIL D' from 'CRISIL B/Stable'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Term Loan 150 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
'CRISIL B/Stable')
The rating downgrade reflects instances of delay by VB in
servicing its term loan. The delays were because of the firm's
weak liquidity, resulting from lower-than-expected customer
advances for its residential project.
VB is also susceptible to project implementation risks and to
cyclicality in the real estate industry in India. However, the
firm benefits from the extensive industry experience of its
promoter.
VB, set up in 2013, is executing a residential redevelopment
project at Kalyan in Thane (Maharashtra). The firm, a
proprietorship concern, is promoted by Mr. Harakchand Jain.
VRUNDAVAN GINNING: CRISIL Ups Rating on INR60MM Cash Loan to B+
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has upgraded its rating on the long-term bank facility of
Vrundavan Ginning and Oil Mill (VGOM) to 'CRISIL B+/Stable' from
'CRISIL B/Stable'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Mln) Ratings
---------- --------- -------
Cash Credit 60 CRISIL B+/Stable (Upgraded
from 'CRISIL B/Stable')
Proposed Long Term 40 CRISIL B+/Stable (Upgraded
Bank Loan Facility from 'CRISIL B/Stable')
The rating upgrade reflects an improvement in VGOM's business and
financial risk profile marked by healthy offtake of capacities and
improved working capital management. VGOM reported net sales of
INR536.2 million in 2013-14 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 3), as compared to INR196.5 million in the previous year;
witnessing a year-on-year growth of 173 per cent. Additionally,
VGOM's working capital management has improved marked by gross
current assets of 78 days as on March 31, 2014 as compared to 218
days in the previous year. The financial risk profile has improved
with reduced reliance on external debt. Gearing remained around
1.72 times as on March 31, 2014 as compared to 2.57 times in the
previous year and is expected to remain at similar level over the
medium term.
The rating reflects VGOM's below-average financial risk profile,
marked by its small net worth, moderate gearing and below-average
debt protection metrics, and its susceptibility to erratic
rainfall. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by its
proximity to cotton growing belts and the promoters' extensive
experience in the cotton industry.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that VGOM will continue to benefit from its
promoters' extensive industry experience over the medium term. The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the firm's scale of
operations and profitability improve significantly along with its
capital structure. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' if VGOM's profitability declines because of volatility
in cotton prices; or its financial risk profile, particularly its
liquidity, deteriorates because of stretched working capital cycle
or sizeable debt-funded capital expenditure.
Set up in 1997, VGOM is a partnership firm promoted by the
Bhavnagar-based Mr. Madhubhai Badarka, Mr. Panchubhai Bhadarka,
and six other partners. The firm gins and presses cotton with a
capacity of 200 bales per day.
VGOM reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR2.7 million on net
sales of INR536.1 million for 2013-14 as compared to a PAT of
INR0.8 million on net sales of INR196.5 million for 2012-13.

HANOVER FINANCE: Hotchin Reaches Settlement Deal With Perpetual
---------------------------------------------------------------
BusinessDesk reports that Mark Hotchin, principal of failed
finance company Hanover, has reached a confidential settlement
with one of Hanover's trustees, Perpetual Trust, leaving only
Guardian Trust Co as a party to his Supreme Court bid to have the
trustees included in the Financial Markets Authority's civil case
against the former lender's directors and promoters.
In mid-2013, the High Court in Auckland's Justice Helen Winkelmann
agreed with New Zealand Guardian Trust Co and Perpetual Trust to
strike out a claim by Mr. Hotchin that would have drawn the
trustees into the FMA's civil case, which seeks compensation for
investors who lost money in the 2008 Hanover collapse,
BusinessDesk recalls.
BusinessDesk relates that appearing in the Supreme Court before
Chief Justice Sian Elias, Justice William Young, Justice Terence
Arnold, Justice Susan Glazebrook and Justice Mark O'Regan, Mr.
Hotchin's lawyer Nathan Gedye QC said the case against Perpetual
had been abandoned as Mr. Hotchin and Perpetual have reached a
settlement agreement.
David Cooper is appearing for the NZ Guardian Trust, BusinessDesk
notes.
According to the report, the appeal will cover "whether the Court
of Appeal was correct to uphold the striking out of Mr Hotchin's
third party claims against the respondents."
BusinessDesk says Mr. Gedye argued the facts concerning the
Hanover directors and the trustees are "intertwined" and should
appear together at the trial because of the information flows
between the two, which he said had been accepted by the FMA.
Mr. Gedye said the trustees and directors are linked by the harm
caused to Hanover investors, regardless of the different actions
on each side that may have led to the harm, BusinessDesk relates.
"It offends justice that the trustees are not required to
contribute," Mr. Gedye said, calling the previous decision a
"repugnance of justice," according to BusinessDesk.
The appeal continues in the Supreme Court, adds BusinessDesk.
About Hanover Finance
Hanover Finance Limited -- http://www.hanover.co.nz/-- was
New Zealand's third-largest privately-owned finance company with
total assets of NZ$796 million at December 31, 2007. The company
was established in 1984 to provide finance to the rural sector
and began lending to property developers and investors in 1995.
The loan portfolio has been gradually downsized since 2006 as a
result of a more cautious approach to lending in the face of
retail funding constraints.
Hanover Finance's investors in December 2008 voted in favor of
the company's Debt Restructure Proposals, including a plan to
fully repay NZ$552.6 million principal it owes over five years.
However, Hanover Finance said in November 2009 it is no longer
likely to fully repay investors under a debt restructuring plan
due to a deterioration in the commercial property development
market, a TCR-AP report on Nov. 12, 2009, said.
In December 2009, investors agreed to swap their Hanover
interests for shares in Allied Farmers Ltd.
The Serious Fraud Office commenced an investigation into the
affairs of Hanover Finance Ltd in September 2010 after
considering complaints received from the Securities Commission,
Allied Farmers and others.
The Financial Markets Authority, on March 30, 2012, filed civil
proceedings against directors and promoters of Hanover Finance
Ltd, Hanover Capital Ltd, and United Finance Ltd. Proceedings
under the Securities Act have been filed against Mark Hotchin,
Eric Watson, Greg Muir, Sir Tipene O'Regan, Bruce Gordon and
Dennis Broit. They relate to statements made in the
December 2007 prospectuses, subsequent advertising, and the
March 2008 prospectus extension certificate.
SFO on April 30, 2013, said it has completed its investigation
of Hanover Finance, bringing to an end its investigations into the
2007/08 finance company collapses. That process, which saw SFO
investigate 15 separate companies, resulted in criminal
prosecutions in relation to nine companies. Overall, 23
individuals have faced charges laid by SFO.

*********
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.
