GIONEE COMMUNICATION: Court Accepts Bankruptcy Application
----------------------------------------------------------
Business Today reports that Gionee Communication Equipment Co.'s
bankruptcy application has been accepted by the Chinese court in
Shenzhen. Once a top smartphone manufacturer, Gionee has
reportedly failed to pay its debt from various suppliers. The
problem was compounded in November this year when Gionee chairman
Liu Lirong reportedly "lost over $1.4 billion" while gambling at
a casino in Saipan, the report says.
According to the report, Mr. Lirong did admit to the gambling
problem but maintained that he did not use Gionee's money to
gamble. He also admitted losing only around $144 million. Gionee
owes $2.9 billion to 648 creditors as of August 2018, Business
Today discloses. The company was losing $14.4 million a month
between 2013 and 2015 and these losses further doubled in the
last two years.
However, Liu Lirong is still hopeful and has stated that he sees
a turnaround in the company's fortune in 3-5 years. Meanwhile, as
of mid-December last year, consultants were hired by Gionee to
streamline and restructure the company and create a plan that
would allow it to emerge out of the current mess, Business Today
relays.
Based in Shenzhen, China, Gionee Communication Equipment Company
Ltd. manufactures cellular telephones.

HMV DIGITAL: Places Retail Unit Under Provisional Liquidation
-------------------------------------------------------------
Enoch Yiu at The South China Morning Post reports that HMV
Digital China Group, owner of the HMV music retail chain, is
winding up its 25-year-old CD and DVD stores in Hong Kong, as the
last remnants of the once-booming music retailing industry bows
to the growing popularity of online streaming media.
HMV will put its HMV Retail unit in provisional liquidation to
manage its assets, the company said in a stock exchange filing on
Dec. 18, 2018, SCMP relays. All seven of its stores were shut on
Dec. 18, 2018, and 80 employees dismissed, according to a person
familiar with the matter.
According to SCMP, the company was behind in rent and other
payments, and is facing lawsuits by landlords and other
creditors, HMV said.
"The company is under negotiation with the landlords of the
settlement plans," the report quotes chairman Stephen Shiu Jnr as
saying in an announcement. "HMV Retail has not been generating
sufficient revenue to cover its own operating expenses and there
is no reasonable prospect of making any significant improvement
on its financial performance or operation in the foreseeable
future."
HMV, which can trace its history to London's Oxford Street in
1921, entered Hong Kong 25 years ago and became the largest CD
and DVD retailer in the city. During the heyday of Canto-pop in
Asia, HMV was the place for celebrities to meet their fans.
Mariah Carey, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys were among some of the
stars who signed autographs or performed at an HMV store in Hong
Kong.
Still, the store could not compete with the "digital tide" of
online streaming as well as Apple's Airpods, which sent sales of
HMV's bestselling earphones tumbling, Mr. Shiu, as cited by SCMP,
said.
"Suffering from operational difficulties, HMV Retail was unable
to escape from the crushing force of the wheel of history,"
Mr. Shiu said.
Signalling the huge changes afoot in the music world, Hong Kong
Records, another major CD and DVD retailer, closed its flagship
shop in Pacific Place in June. The company still has a shop at
Harbour City.
Last month, HMV said it was considering liquidating its retail
units after its landlords in Central, Causeway Bay and Kowloon
Bay filed separate lawsuits to claim HK$5 million in unpaid
rents, SCMP adds.
According to SCMP, HMV said in a separate filing two of its
subsidiaries are being sued by Lei Shing Hong Credit. The
creditor has a claim on money owed from the sale of property by
HMV's subsidies, including a house and several parking spaces. A
person familiar with the matter said Shiu lives in the home.
Wong Sun-keung and Janice Tsui Mei-yuk Janice, both of Vision
A.S. Ltd, will be the joint provisional liquidators of HMV Retail
to handle the assets, negotiate with the creditors and seek
buyers, SCMP discloses.
Wong said the total debt of the company is about HK$40 million,
while its assets, mainly CDs, earphones, speakers and other
products are worth about HK$9 million, SCMP relays. The
provisional liquidators will keep these assets before a final
decision is made about what to do with them, the report states.
"[T]he HMV Retail business in Hong Kong experienced drastic
changes during the past few months," the report quotes Shiu as
saying. "The HMV Retail business in Canada had closed all its 102
stores last year due to the impact of online streaming media,
signifying the hardship in operating physical stores; and as HMV
retail stores in Hong Kong faced the same shock in recent months,
it became an inevitable decision for us to wind up the business."
The group swung to a net loss of HK$18.81 million (US$2.41
million) in the three months ended September, from a profit of
HK$1.85 million a year earlier. Retail sales fell 41 per cent to
HK$31.55 million, SCMP discloses citing an exchange filing.
In 2013, British HMV was taken under the management of a court-
appointed administrator. AID Partners, a private equity firm
directed by local businessman Kelvin Wu King-shiu, took over the
Hong Kong unit and its seven shops across the city, SCMP
discloses.
SCMP says Mr. Shiu's company was originally called China 3D
Digital, which produced films and managed artistes. In 2016,
Mr. Shui bought HMV's retail music business for HK$408 million
from AID Partners. At the time, Mr. Shiu wanted to turn HMV into
a lifestyle business model, with restaurants for customers as
well as earphones, speakers, and toys of characters from Star
Wars, Batman and Superman and other movies, SCMP relates. The
film and artist management business will not be affected, Mr.
Shiu said.

AJARA HEALTH: Ind-Ra Assigns 'B' Rating to INR293MM Loan
--------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has assigned Ajara Health
Care and Research Centre Private Limited (AHCRC) a Long-Term
Issuer Rating of 'IND B'. The Outlook is Stable.
The instrument-wise rating action is:
-- INR293 mil. Term loan due on April 2026 assigned with
IND B/Stable rating.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The ratings reflect the delays in the commercialization of
AHCRC's hospital project. The total cost of the project is INR600
million, which is being funded by the company's promoter's
contribution (share capital) of INR307 million and a term loan of
INR293 million. The project completion and commercial production
are likely to be achieved in April 2019.
The ratings are constrained by the fragmented nature of the
industry.
The ratings however are supported by AHCRC's promoter's two
decades of experience in the healthcare industry and the
locational advantage of the project as it has easy accessibility
to the city's interstate bus terminal, railway station and
highways.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Negative: Inability to execute the project and ramp-up the
operations/production in a timely fashion and/or any additional
debt-led capex impacting its debt servicing capability would be
negative for the ratings.
Positive: Ability to execute the project and ramp up the
operations/production in a timely manner along with achieving
stable business operations will be positive for the ratings.
COMPANY PROFILE
Established in June 2011, AHCRC is setting up a 350-bed multi-
specialty hospital in Hanumakonda, Warangal District, and
Telangana State.

BALA BALAJEE: CRISIL Maintains 'D' Rating in Not Cooperating
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL said the ratings on bank facilities of Bala Balajee
Textiles Limited (BBTL) continue to be 'CRISIL D/CRISIL D Issuer
not cooperating'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Bank Guarantee 1.39 CRISIL D (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING)
Cash Credit 13.00 CRISIL D (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING)
Letter of Credit 1.50 CRISIL D (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING)
Proposed Cash 6.64 CRISIL D (ISSUER NOT
Credit Limit COOPERATING)
Term Loan 21.47 CRISIL D (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING)
CRISIL has been consistently following up with BBTL for obtaining
information through letters and emails dated May 31, 2018 and
November 22, 2018 among others, apart from telephonic
communication. However, the issuer has remained non cooperative.
'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should
exercise due caution while using the rating assigned/reviewed
with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING'. These ratings lack a
forward looking component as it is arrived at without any
management interaction and is based on best available or limited
or dated information on the company.
Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, CRISIL
failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of BBTL, which restricts CRISIL's
ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's credit
quality. CRISIL believes information available on BBTL is
consistent with 'Scenario 1' outlined in the 'Framework for
Assessing Consistency of Information with CRISIL BB' rating
category or lower'.
Based on the last available information, the ratings on bank
facilities of BBTL continues to be 'CRISIL D/CRISIL D Issuer not
cooperating'.
BBTL was set up in 2004 by Mr. Subba Rao Chitturi and his family
members. The company manufactures combed cotton yarn. Its
spinning unit is in West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh.
BALPRADA HOTELS: ICRA Reaffirms D Rating on INR91cr Loan
--------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has reaffirmed the rating on the bank facilities of Balprada
Hotels And Hospitality Services Private Limited (BHHS) at D and
removed from the non-cooperating category.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Fund based 91.0 [ICRA]D; Rating reaffirmed and
removed from the 'Issuer Not
Cooperating' category
Non-fund based 6.0 [ICRA]D; Rating reaffirmed and
removed from the 'Issuer Not
Cooperating' category
Rationale
The ratings take into account the delays in servicing of debt
obligations by BHHS due to its stretched liquidity position.
Initially, the property witnessed time and cost overruns.
Subsequently, its performance was affected by the slowdown in the
hospitality industry, which adversely impacted its cash flows.
Further, with high leverage and significant leakages in terms of
interest cost, the company was dependent on additional loans from
the promoters. The ratings are also constrained by limited
experience of promoters in the hospitality sector, risks
associated with a single property and net losses since inception.
Though ICRA notes that the operational metrics as characterised
by occupancy and average room revenue (ARR) of the hotel has
improved year on year.
Key rating drivers
Credit challenge
Delays in debt servicing: The company has not been able to
service its term loan obligations on time due its stretched
liquidity position amid high interest cost on lower scale of
operations. The company have been delaying its loan repayments by
up to 60 days.
Liquidity position
The company has stretched liquidity position with delays in debt
obligation of up to 60 days.
Balprada Hotels and Hospitality Private Limited (Balprada) is a
subsidiary of JMD Limited. The company has developed a 185 room
4-star hotel at Golf Course Road in Gurgaon at a cost of INR178
crore. The hotel has been funded by debt of INR100 crore and
promoters' contribution of INR78 crore. The hotel project (to be
operated under the DoubleTree by Hilton brand) started commercial
operations in March 2012.
In FY2018, the company reported a net loss of INR14.0 crore on an
operating income (OI) of INR41.6 crore compared with a net loss
of INR6.1 crore on an OI of INR34.8 crore in the previous year.
BHIMSERIA AGRO: Ind-Ra Assigns BB Issuer Rating, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has assigned Bhimseria Agro
Private Limited (BAPL) a Long-Term Issuer Rating of 'IND BB'. The
Outlook is Stable.
The instrument-wise rating actions are:
-- INR93.2 mil. Term loan due on December 2022 assigned with
IND BB/Stable rating; and
-- INR34.5 mil. Fund-based working capital limit assigned with
IND BB/Stable rating.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The ratings reflect BAPL's medium scale of operations as
indicated by revenue of INR770.5 million (FY17: INR370.4
million). The revenue growth was due to an increase in orders
from existing and new customers. As of November 2018, it booked
revenue of INR467.60 million. The firm expects to achieve revenue
of around INR800 million in FY19, as it is focusing on increasing
its exports.
The company's return on capital employed was 9% in FY18 (FY17:
7%) and EBITDA margin was modest at 6.6% (10.6%). The decline in
the operating margin was on account of an increase in raw
material cost.
The ratings also factor in BAPL's modest credit metrics as
indicated by gross interest coverage (operating EBITDA/gross
interest expenses) of 1.6x in FY18 (FY17: 1.6x) and net leverage
(total adjusted net debt/operating EBITDA) of 4.5x (8.0x).
The ratings are also constrained by BAPL's tight liquidity
position as reflected by near full utilization of the working
capital limits during the 12 months ended November 2018. The
company's cash flow from operation was INR3.2 million and cash
and cash equivalents were INR3.2 million in FYE18.
However, the ratings are supported by BAPL's promoters' more than
two decades of experience in the rice trading industry.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Negative: Any further deterioration in the EBITDA margin, leading
to deterioration in the credit metrics or liquidity position in
FY19-FY20 will be negative for the ratings.
Positive: An improvement in the revenue along with an improvement
in the EBITDA margin, leading to an improvement in the credit
metrics and its liquidity position in FY19-FY20 will be positive
for the ratings.
COMPANY PROFILE
BAPL was incorporated in 2011 as a private limited company in
Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The company has a rice mill with a production
capacity of 14 tons of paddy per hour. The company began
commercial operations from February 2016. BAPL majorly markets
its products in north east of India and Bihar.
BINANI CEMENT: IFCI Gets INR492cr for Resolution Under IBC
----------------------------------------------------------
BloombergQuint reports that infrastructure term lender IFCI on
Dec. 24, 2018, said it has received INR492 crore towards security
receipts under the insolvency and bankruptcy resolution plan for
Binani Cement.
"On account of resolution of Binani Cement through NCLT, IFCI,
which is holding 42,16,850 security receipts of the face value of
INR1,000 each has received INR491.84 crore, net of TDS (tax
deducted at source) of INR30.55 crore, pursuant to the said
resolution," BloombergQuint quotes the lender as saying in a
regulatory filing.
On Nov. 14, Aditya Birla Group firm UltraTech Cement won the bid
to acquire debt-ridden Binani Cement after the National Company
Law Appellate Tribunal approved its revised INR7,950.34 crore bid
over an offer by rival Dalmia Bharat Group, BloombergQuint
recalls.
In approving UltraTech's resolution plan for Binani, which was
auctioned to recover unpaid bank dues, NCLAT may have set a
precedence as it favored a proposal that not just paid the
financial lenders but also operational creditors, BloombergQuint
notes.
About Binani Cement
Binani Cement is a subsidiary of Binani Industries, a
conglomerate with manufacturing and R&D operations. It has a
manufacturing capacity of 11.25 million tonnes (mt) per annum
with integrated plants in India and China, and grinding units in
Dubai.
On July 25, 2017, the Kolkota bench of the National Company Law
Tribunal (NCLT) admitted an insolvency petition against Binani
Cement.
Bank of Baroda (BoB) had referred Binani to the bankruptcy court
after it failed to repay a sum of INR97 crore. BoB has appointed
Vijaykumar V Iyer of Deloitte India as the interim resolution
professional (IRP) to oversee the insolvency process.
The company owes around INR6,500 crore to a consortium lenders.

DANIA ORO: CRISIL Maintains 'D' Rating in Not Cooperating
---------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL said the ratings on bank facilities of Dania Oro Jewellery
Private Limited (Dania Oro) continues to be 'CRISIL D/CRISIL D
Issuer not cooperating'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------

CRISIL has been consistently following up with Dania Oro for
obtaining information through letters and emails dated May 31,
2018 and November 22, 2018 among others, apart from telephonic
communication. However, the issuer has remained non cooperative.
'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should
exercise due caution while using the rating assigned/reviewed
with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING'. These ratings lack a

Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, CRISIL
failed to receive any information on either the financial

CRISIL's ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. CRISIL believes information available on Dania

Dania Oro was incorporated in 2006, promoted by Mr. Pramod Goenka
of Mumbai. The company exports diamondstudded gold jewellery to
the US and UK.
DEEPAK DIAMONDS: CRISIL Lowers Rating on INR18.9cr Loan to D
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its rating on the long term bank facility
of Deepak Diamonds Private Limited (DDPL) to 'CRISIL D' from
CRISIL BB-/Stable'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Export Packing 18.9 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
Credit 'CRISIL BB-/Stable')
Post Shipment 3.6 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
Credit 'CRISIL BB-/Stable')
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 14.5 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
'CRISIL BB-/Stable')
The downgrade reflects instances of delay in realization of bills
beyond 30 days.
The rating continues to reflect working capital intensity in
operations and leveraged capital structure. These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive experience of
promoters in the diamond industry, and moderate financial risk
profile.
Analytical Approach
CRISIL has treated unsecured loan as debt, as they are not
subordinated to bank borrowings.
Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weakness
* Delay in realization of bills: There have been instances of
bills being overdue beyond 30 days and the banker has classified
the account as NPA (Non-Performing Assets)
* Working capital intensity in operations: Gross current assets
were high at 301 days as on March 31, 2017, due to large
receivables of 273 days.
* Leveraged capital structure: Total outside liabilities to
adjusted networth (TOL/ANW) ratio weakened to 3.06 times as on
March 31, 2017, from 2.6 times as on March 31, 2016, mainly led
by working capital debt.
Strengths
* Extensive experience of the promoters in the diamond industry:
The four-decade long experience of the key promoter, Mr
Parshottambhai Patel in the diamond industry, and established
relationships with customers and major suppliers, has helped
strengthen the company's market position, and aided revenue
growth to INR105.4 crore in fiscal 2017, from INR81.16 crore in
fiscal 2016.
* Moderate financial risk profile: Networth remains moderate at
INR22.21 crore as on March 31, 2017. Debt protection metrics will
be modest in the medium term, with interest coverage at 2.5 times
for fiscal 2017, and expected to be stable, driven by moderate
cash accrual.
Liquidity: Stretched
The liquidity of DDPL is stretched on account of elongation in
its receivable cycle resulting in delays in realization of bills.
DDPL was initially set up as a partnership concern in 1988, and
reconstituted into a private limited company on July 14, 2014,
and renamed DDPL. The company is a family-run business, promoted
by Mr Parshottam Patel, his wife, Mrs Savita Patel and son, Mr
Vijay Patel.
The company mainly manufactures and trades in brown and white
diamonds, in the range of 0.5-20 points (100 points equals 1
carat). It has recently ventured into manufacture and export of
solitaires. Manufacturing facility is at Surat.
DHARMRAJ ALUMINIUM: CRISIL Maintains D Rating in Not Cooperating
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL said the rating on bank facilities of Dharmraj Aluminium

Amount

Cash Credit 20 CRISIL D (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING)
CRISIL has been consistently following up with DAIPL for
obtaining information through letters and emails dated May 31,

facilities of DAIPL, continues to be 'CRISIL D Issuer not
cooperating'.

NINA REALTORS: CRISIL Withdraws D Rating on INR10cr Term Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Due to inadequate information, CRISIL, in line with SEBI
guidelines, had migrated the rating of Nina Realtors (NR) to
'CRISIL D Issuer not cooperating'. CRISIL has withdrawn its
rating on bank facility of NR following a request from the
company and on receipt of a 'no dues certificate' from the
banker. Consequently, CRISIL is migrating the ratings on bank
facilities of NR from 'CRISIL D Issuer Not Cooperating to 'CRISIL
D'. The rating action is in line with CRISIL's policy on
withdrawal of bank loan ratings.

undertaking a residential redevelopment project at Chakala Street

PARSVNATH LANDMARK: CRISIL Lowers Rating on INR200cr Loan to D
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its rating on non-convertible debentures
(NCDs) of Parsvnath Landmark Developers Private Limited (PLDPL)
to 'CRISIL D' from 'CRISIL B+/Stable'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Non Convertible 200 CRISIL D (Downgraded from
Debentures LT CRISIL B+/Stable)
The downgrade reflects delay in interest payment by PLDPL due to
weak liquidity that resulted from muted collections owing to
slower construction progress. Despite achieving 96% saleability
in a group housing project till date, the delay in handover of
Phase I and slowdown in construction progress of Phase II has
adversely impacted customer advances.
The rating continues to reflect exposure to project
implementation risk and modest debt protection metrics. These
weaknesses are partially offset by the favourable location of the
company's La Tropicana project with healthy saleability.
Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weaknesses
* Exposure to project implementation risk: Construction progress
of Phase II has been delayed due to funding constraints,
resulting in lower-than-expected customer advances. Furthermore,
approval for the building plan of the economically weaker section
(EWS) project (Phase 3) has been pending with New Delhi Municipal
Council for over a year, thus exposing PLDPL to project
implementation risk.
* Modest debt protection metrics: The company had issued INR200
crore of NCDs in October 2016, with a one-year interest
moratorium and scheduled repayments over 36 months through
October 2019. As per the initial agreement, the moratorium ended
on October 12, 2017, and the first coupon of INR10 crore was
payable. However, the stretched liquidity led to the company
restructuring the first NCD coupon payment. The company has been
restructuring the subsequent coupon payments since then. However,
the coupon payment which was due on November 13, 2018 has not
been restructured and PLDPL has failed to make the payment.
Strength
* Favorable location of project with healthy saleability
The La Tropicana project is at the prime location of Civil lines,
New Delhi. The project is being developed in a phased manner with
Phases 1 and 2 comprising luxury apartments spread over 0.2 crore
square foot (sq ft) of saleable area. These phases were launched
in 2009 and have witnessed healthy saleability of about 96% as on
March 31, 2018. Furthermore, the construction of Phase I has been
completed in December 2016 with possession of flats in progress.
Advances of around 90% pertaining to Phase I have been received
and the balance would be received on completion of pending minor
construction and possession of these flats.
Liquidity
Liquidity remains weak because of low cash flow from the La
Tropicana Project. Delay in handover of phase I and slowdown in
construction on phase II have constrained customer advances in
the last two fiscals. This has resulted in need for restructuring
of the NCD coupon payment in the recent past. The coupon payment
which was due on November 13, 2018 has not been paid. Given the
delays in project execution, PLDL's liquidity is likely to
continue to remain stretched with inadequate cash flows to meet
its debt servicing obligations in near to medium term.
PLDPL is a special-purpose vehicle, promoted by Parsvnath
Developers Ltd (PDL; rated 'CRISIL D') to develop La Tropicana, a
0.23-crore sq ft residential project located at Civil Lines, New
Delhi. The project, which is being executed in phases, comprises
505 luxury apartments, houses for the EWS, and commercial units,
spread over a saleable area of 0.2 crore sq ft. The company is
yet to launch its 40-storied building for EWS. Prior to September
2016, PDL held 78.0% equity stake in PLDPL, with Sankaty Advisors
through Sterling Pathway holding 22.0%. After the NCD issuance in
October 2016, PDL has bought out Sterling Pathway's stake in the
company, thereby making PLDPL its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Incorporated in 1990, PDL develops real estate projects, and has
a well-diversified portfolio of residential apartments,
integrated townships, commercial and retail projects, special
economic zones, information technology parks, and hotels.
PARTH COTTON: ICRA Maintains C+ Rating in Not Cooperating
---------------------------------------------------------

ICRA has been trying to seek information from the entity so as to
monitor its performance, but despite repeated requests by ICRA,
the entity's management has remained non-cooperative. The current
rating action has been taken by ICRA basis best
available/dated/limited information on the issuers' performance.
Accordingly the lenders, investors and other market participants
are advised to exercise appropriate caution while using this
rating as the rating may not adequately reflect the credit risk
profile of the entity.
Incorporated in the year 2012, Parth Cotton & Oil Industries
(PCOI) is engaged in the business of cotton ginning and cotton
seed crushing. The firm commenced commercial production from
November 2013 from its manufacturing facility located at Morbi in
Gujarat. The unit is equipped with 24 ginning machines, 1
pressing machine and 5 expellers, having processing capacity of
approx. 17280 MTPA of raw cotton. PCOI is a partnership firm with

RAI BAHADUR: CRISIL Maintains 'C' Rating in Not Cooperating

Amount

CRISIL has been consistently following up with RBNL for obtaining
information through letters and emails dated May 31, 2018 and
November 22, 2018 among others, apart from telephonic
communication. However, the issuer has remained non cooperative.
'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should
exercise due caution while using the rating assigned/reviewed
with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING'. These ratings lack a

Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, CRISIL

ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's credit
quality. CRISIL believes information available on RBNL is

RAJAPUR MINERALS: Ind-Ra Affirms B+ Issuer Rating, Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has affirmed Rajapur
Minerals' (Rajapur) Long-Term Issuer Rating at 'IND B+'. The
Outlook is Stable.
The instrument-wise rating actions are:
-- INR21 mil. Term loan due on January 2020 affirmed with
IND B+/Stable rating; and
-- INR29 mil. Fund-based facilities affirmed with
IND B+/Stable/IND A4 rating.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The affirmation reflects Rajapur's continued small scale of
operations, as indicated by revenue of INR209 million in FY18
(FY17: INR132 million). The growth in revenue was attributed to
an improvement in order inflows due to the lifting of the iron
ore ban from Goa in 2014 as well as business diversification
through the setting up of an irrigation construction division in
FY18. As of November 2018, the company had orders worth INR650
million, to be executed before January 2021. Rajapur recorded a
revenue of INR200 million during 8MFY19.
The ratings also factor in the moderate credit metrics. The net
leverage (total adjusted net debt/operating EBITDAR) improved to
2.9x in FY18 (FY17: 4.6x) due to an increase in absolute EBITDA
(FY18: INR63 million; FY17: INR47 million). However, interest
coverage (operating EBITDA/gross interest expense) deteriorated
slightly to 2.9x in FY18 (FY17: 3.0x) because of an increase in
interest expenses (FY18: INR22 million; FY17: INR16 million),
resulting from increased debt in the last quarter of FY17.
The ratings are constrained by the volatility in the EBITDA
margin, which ranged between 30.0%-54.4% during FY14-FY18 due to
fluctuations in the orders' margins. In FY18, the RoCE was 8%
(10%) and the EBITDA margin fell to a modest 30% (FY17: 35.3%)
due to the execution of relatively low-margin orders.
However, the ratings are supported by Rajapur's comfortable
liquidity profile, with its fund-based facilities being utilized
at an average of 52.6% for the 12 months ended November 2018. The
company's cash flow from operations surged to INR12 million in
FY18 (FY17: INR1 million) due to an improvement in the operating
EBITDA from INR 47 million to INR63 million. As of March 2018,
Rajapur had an unutilized credit line of INR2 million and a term
loan of INR21 million, which will be repaid fully in January
2020.
The ratings also benefit from the proprietor's experience of more
than two decades in iron ore mining.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Negative: Any substantial decline in the scale of operation and
operating profitability, leading to a sustained deterioration in
the credit metrics, all on a sustained basis, will be negative
for the ratings.
Positive: An increase in the scale of operations while
maintaining profitability margin at the current level, leading to
an improvement in credit metrics, would be positive for the
ratings.
COMPANY PROFILE
Incorporated in 2002, Rajapur is promoted and managed by Mr.
Satish Rajapur. The company is engaged in the extracting,
crushing, screening and transportation of iron ore.
SHARMA PHARMACEUTICAL: Ind-Ra Assigns B+ Rating, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has assigned Sharma
Pharmaceutical Private Limited (SPPL) a Long-Term Issuer Rating
of 'IND B+'. The Outlook is Stable.
The instrument-wise rating actions are:
-- INR50.00 mil. Fund-based limits assigned with IND B+/
Stable/IND A4 rating; and
-- INR40.00 mil. Non-fund-based limits assigned with IND A4
rating.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The ratings reflect SPPL's small scale of operations, although
the company's revenue rose 30.58% yoy to INR447.79 million in
FY18 on account of an increasing demand for orthopedic implants
and instruments. It achieved INR250.00 million in revenue for
April-November 2018. Also, the margins in FY18 were modest at
8.60% (FY17: 9.26%) due to high operating expenses and industry
competition. Return on capital employed was 9% (13%).
The ratings also reflect SPPL's weak credit metrics in FY18 with
interest coverage (operating EBITDAR/gross interest expense) at
1.67x (FY17: 1.69x) and net leverage (adjusted net debt/operating
EBITDAR) at 8.42x (3.23x). The leverage increased sharply in FY18
owing to a rise in debt level.
The ratings are constrained by the company's tight liquidity,
indicated by an average maximum fund-based limit use of 100% for
the 12 months ended November 2018.
The tight liquidity was due to an elongated working capital cycle
of 230 days in FY18 (FY17: 129 days) because of a long receivable
period of 246 days (198 days).
The ratings however are supported by the company's promoters'
experience of over two decades in manufacturing surgical
instruments.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Positive: A sustained improvement in the revenue and credit
metrics will be positive for the ratings.
Negative: Sustained deterioration in the credit metrics, could be
negative for the ratings.
COMPANY PROFILE
Incorporated in 2004 by Mr. Dayanand Sharma, SPPL manufactures
orthopedic implants and instruments in Vadodara.
SHREE GANESH: Ind-Ra Raises Long Term Issuer Rating to 'B'
----------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has upgraded Shree Ganesh
Metaliks Limited's (SGML) Long-Term Issuer Rating to 'IND B' from
'IND C'. The Outlook is Stable.
The instrument-wise rating actions are:
-- INR1,953.88 bil. (reduced from INR1.972 bil.) Term loans due
on March 2030 upgraded with IND B/Stable rating;
-- INR350 mil. Fund-based limits upgraded with IND B/Stable
rating; and
-- INR165 mil. Non-fund-based limits affirmed with IND A4
rating.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The upgrade reflects an improvement in SGML's liquidity position
as indicated by 98.42% average utilization of the working capital
limits during the 12 months ended November 2018 compared to
almost 100% earlier. Also, cash flow from operations increased to
INR193.62 million in FY18 (FY17: negative INR28.43 million),
owing to an increase in cash accruals. Moreover, cash and cash
equivalents rose to INR398.75 million at FYE18 (FYE17: INR230.73
million). Also, the net cash cycle shortened to 79 days in FY18
(FY17; 130 days) due to an improvement in receivable and
inventory days.
The upgrade also reflects an improvement in SGML's revenue,
leading to an improvement in its credit metrics. Revenue grew to
INR3,672.82 million in FY18 (FY17: INR2,620.85 million), on
account of an increase in sales volume. The company reported an
EBITDA profit of INR398.75 million in FY18 as against INR230.73
million in FY17. The improvement in EBITDA was attributed to the
increase in sales volume, leading to better absorption of fixed
costs. EBITDA interest coverage (operating EBITDA/gross interest
expenses) stood at 1.3x in FY18 (FY17: 0.7x) and net financial
leverage (net debt/operating EBITDA) at 5.8x (11.0x).
However, the scale of operations remains medium and credit
metrics weak.
Also, the company continues to report modest EBITDA margins
(FY18: 10.9%; FY18: 8.8%), due to huge competition from
unorganized players. Return on capital employed was 10% in FY18
(FY17: 4%).
The ratings remain supported by the promoter's experience of more
than one decade in the steel industry.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Negative: A decline in the EBITDA margin, along with an increase
in the working capital position leading to deterioration in
liquidity, all on a sustained basis, may lead to a negative
rating action.
Positive: An increase in EBITDA margin leading to an improvement
in the credit metrics and an improvement in the working capital
cycle leading to improved liquidity, all on a sustained basis,
may lead to a positive rating action.
COMPANY PROFILE
Incorporated in 2003, SGML manufactures sponge iron and billets
in Sundargarh district of Odisha. The company is headed by its
promoter director Mr. Manoj Kumar Agarwal.

Sun Daily reports that SC Estate Builder Bhd's net loss has
widened in the third quarter ended Oct. 31, 2018 to MYR913,000,
from MYR855,000 in the previous corresponding quarter due to the
one-off expenses incurred for the rights issue.
Revenue for the quarter declined 23% to MYR1.57 million, compared
with MYR2.03 million in the same period last year, Sun Daily
says.
This was due to business from the trading of aluminium and
machines parts that has been inactive despite there was an
increase in the revenue generated from the construction/project
management segment and the trading of building materials segment,
the group said in a Bursa Malaysia filing, the report relays.
For the nine months period, its net loss narrowed to MYR1.74
million, from MYR1.8 million a year ago, while revenue plunged
57% to MYR5.97 million, against MYR13.87 million previously, Sun
Daily discloses.
On its prospects, the group said although it is cautious about
the current challenges in the construction industry, it will
continue to seek ways to improve its financial performance for
the current financial year, according to Sun Daily.
Currently, the group said it is focusing on its efforts to
complete the existing construction contract in hand and will
continue to secure more contract to replenish its order book as
well as to improve the group's overall performance.
The current construction project is progressing within
expectation, it added, Sun Daily relays.
SC Estate Builder Berhad, an investment holding company, engages
in construction and related activities in Malaysia. The company
operates through Construction, Manufacturing, and Trading
segments. The Construction segment offers project management
services, such as design and build, building and infrastructure
projects, including planning, costing and implementation, and
procurement for building materials, labor, etc. The Manufacturing
segment designs, manufactures, and distributes precision systems,
expanded metals, and turbine ventilators. The Trading segment is
involved in trading of building materials and other related
products.

ACCENT ON: Placed in Liquidation; Debt Hits NZ$9 Million
--------------------------------------------------------
Stuff.co.nz reports that Accent on Construction went into
receivership with the loss of 40 jobs in November and now it's
been placed in liquidation.
According to Stuff, liquidators Jared Booth and Tony Maginness of
Rodway Staples have made their first report about how the
receivership is disputed by the company's shareholder and funder,
and the sole director Ian Fistonich.
Stuff relates that the liquidators, who have greater powers under
the law, said they have sent a letter to receiver Damien Grant
advising that they want to take over the job of recovering any
money, but they haven't heard back.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fistonich's latest Linkedin post said "looking for
new opportunity" -- seven other of his related companies were
also placed in receivership in the lead up to Christmas and their
projects halted, Stuff reports.
The debts owed by the companies comes to more than NZ$9 million
so far, Stuff discloses.
Secured lenders are owed more than NZ$4 million, unsecured trades
suppliers about NZ$3.8 million, and preferential creditors NZ$1.7
million, including employees owed NZ$136,409, adds Stuff.
There are more than 150 unsecured suppliers ranging from
stationery shops to concrete suppliers, and a raft of
tradespeople, the report notes.
According to Stuff, the liquidators' report said receiver Grant
was appointed by Premier Legal Finance which is controlled by
Graeme Halse, who was also the company's solicitor, trustee of
the main shareholder, and solicitor to Mr. Fistonich.
Mr. Fistonich disputed the validity of Mr. Halse's appointment of
the receiver, the report says.
Stuff adds that liquidators said that although Premier Legal
Finance was owed most among the secured creditors at NZ$3.1
million, other secured creditors rank higher - including ASB owed
NZ$840,000 and Finance Now owed NZ$141,416.
The liquidators have obtained legal advice on the receivership
but won't make it publicly available because it may be
"prejudicial," the report states.
They have yet to identify the value of any assets within the
companies, the report says.
Most of the projects carried out by the Fistonich companies have
been residential developments and schools in the Auckland area,
Stuff adds.
BK'S FOUR: Up for Sale After Going Into Receivership
----------------------------------------------------
NZ Herald reports that a Four Square in Auckland was tipped into
receivership on Christmas Eve -- but the store has reopened under
an acting manager and will be put up for sale as a going concern
in the new year.
David Bridgman and Craig Sanson of PwC, were appointed receivers
for BK's Four Square in Torbay, Auckland on December 24, but had
the doors open again by Boxing Day, the Herald discloses.
According to the Herald, Mr. Bridgman said PwC is still in the
early stages of establishing how much money is owed by owner-
operator Sagar Patel, who has now been replaced by an interim
manager.
But he said the business is healthy, with weekly revenue and
other metrics that compare well with other Four Squares, the
Herald relates.
It ran into trouble because Mr. Patel had financial difficulties
that were "somewhat unrelated" but impacted the business, the
report says. Mr. Bridgman did not want to comment further on the
nature of the franchisee's business problems at this point, the
report states.
Four Square stores are run as franchises under the umbrella of
Foodstuffs, which also includes New World and Pak'nSave. Bridgman
says Foodstuffs is BK's main creditor.
A former Four Square owner who now works for Foodstuffs was
drafted in as acting BK's manager, allowing the store to reopen
immediately after Christmas.
The Herald relates that Mr. Bridgman said it's business as usual.
The half dozen staff have kept their jobs. He's confident of
selling the business as a going concern, the report adds.
However, it won't be put on the block immediately. Mr. Bridgman
said PwC will wait until the holiday quiet period ends, the
Herald reports.

* Asian Debt Defaults Expected to Rise on Tighter Liquidity
-----------------------------------------------------------
Denise Wee at Bloomberg News reports that a growing chorus of
observers expect debt defaults in Asia will spread as weakening
currencies and tighter liquidity leave riskier borrowers with
higher refinancing costs.
Rising failures add to headwinds that governments have to
navigate during a politically fraught 2019, with elections in
India and Indonesia, Bloomberg says. Asian dollar bond market
defaults tripled to at least nine in 2018 from the previous year,
according to Bloomberg-compiled data.
In India, a landmark default by shadow lender Infrastructure
Leasing & Financial Services Ltd. has tightened liquidity for
non-bank lenders, while China's deleveraging campaign and push to
cut the number of zombie companies have prompted more failures,
Bloomberg says. Mounting nonpayments may sour sentiment in the
credit market, but could boost business for investors in problem
assets.
According to Bloomberg, Edwin Wong, chief investment officer at
Hong Kong-headquartered investment firm SSG Capital Management,
which invests in distressed debt, sees the biggest opportunities
in China and India amid tight liquidity.
The U.S.-China trade war is also starting to hit companies, as
rising interest rates pressure businesses, according to FTI
Consulting, a firm that advises on restructuring, Bloomberg
relays.
"We are setting up the business on the premise that we will see
an increase in defaults in 2019," Bloomberg quotes John
Batchelor, Asia head for corporate finance and restructuring at
the firm, as saying. The company is looking to increase its
headcount in Hong Kong and China, he added.
Ron Thompson, a managing director at Alvarez & Marsal Asia who
leads the firm's Asia restructuring practice, said the crackdown
on China's $10 trillion shadow banking market is also
contributing to a rise in defaults, as many entrepreneurs have
limited access to the nation's banking system, according to
Bloomberg.
In India, the overhauled bankruptcy regime is likely to continue
to put pressure on companies to sort out their debt problems or
be forced into insolvency, Bloomberg says. The abrupt resignation
of Urjit Patel as central bank governor has prompted some to
question his successor's independence, Bloomberg states.
While it's too early to tell what the new governor will do, the
government's "concerted efforts" to clean up the banking sector
and create better protection for creditors should remain, Mr.
Wong, as cited by Bloomberg, said.

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.
