BONZA: Administrators Ask For Another Two Months to Sell Carrier
----------------------------------------------------------------
Australian Aviation reports that Bonza's administrators are seeking
a two-month extension to their appointment as they continue to
search for a buyer for the grounded low-cost airline.
According to the report, Hall Chadwick has filed documents with the
Federal Court asking to continue as administrators for Bonza until
at least July 29, with a second creditors' meeting to be held prior
to August 5. The move comes as Bonza's parent company 777 Partners
indicates interest in restructuring the airline.
An extension of the administration would leave Bonza staff without
pay for two more months, as they cannot claim certain benefits
until the company is wound up, but would give the airline a better
chance of ultimately finding a buyer and returning to the sky,
Australian Aviation relates.
"[The] main purpose of the extension is to provide the
administrators with further time to conduct a sale process for the
companies' business and assets," Hall Chadwick told Bonza
creditors.
In the court documents, seen by The Australian, Hall Chadwick noted
Bonza's most valuable asset is its air operator's certificate
(AOC), the report relays.
The airline had leased all its planes, with all but one - VH-UJK
"Sheila" - now having left the country, and its AOC would risk
being cancelled if the company is liquidated.
"Our understanding is that the AOC is not capable of being
transferred to another entity and can only be used by the party
granted the certificate," the administrators, as cited by
Australian Aviation, said. "Accordingly, we understand that the
only way the AOC can be acquired by an interested party is if they
were to acquire the shares in Bonza."
In an affidavit, Hall Chadwick partner Brett Kijurina also told the
court that Bonza's owner, Miami-based investment firm 777 Partners,
had signalled interest in proposing a deed of company arrangement
(DOCA) to restructure Bonza and its Australian holding company, 777
Holdco, Australian Aviation reports. 777 Partners has not spoken
publicly about the airline since it entered administration.
"The administrators have not yet received a proposal for a DOCA
from 777 Partners," the affidavit said.
Bonza has not flown since it entered voluntary administration at
the end of April, with the airline to stay grounded through at
least May 29, Australian Aviation notes.
Hall Chadwick indicated earlier this month that it was speaking
with around 20 interested parties, including investors, airlines
and travel companies, with six "very interested", though one
potential buyer, Vietnamese low-cost carrier VietJet, has since
walked away, adds Australian Aviation.
About Bonza
Sunshine Coast-based Bonza was unveiled in October 2021 and its
first flight took off in January 2023. It operates Boeing
737-Max-8 planes and is backed by 777 Partners, an investment group
based in Miami, Florida. It originally flew 27 routes to 17
destinations but started cutting services during its first six
months.
Richard Albarran, Kathleen Vouris, Brent Kijurina and Cameron Shaw
of Hall Chadwick were appointed Administrators of the Company on
April 30, 2024.
BRIGHTE GREEN 2024-1: Moody's Assigns (P)B2 Rating to F-C Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has assigned provisional ratings to the notes to be
issued by Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited in its capacity as the
trustee of the Brighte Green Trust 2024-1.
Issuer: Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited in its capacity as
trustee of the Brighte Green Trust 2024-1
AUD140.00 million Class A-C Notes, Assigned (P)Aaa (sf)
AUD22.40 million Class A-NC Notes, Assigned (P)Aaa (sf)
AUD14.80 million Class B-C Notes, Assigned (P)Aa2 (sf)
AUD7.80 million Class C-C Notes, Assigned (P)A2 (sf)
AUD4.00 million Class D-C Notes, Assigned (P)Baa2 (sf)
AUD7.40 million Class E-C Notes, Assigned (P)Ba2 (sf)
AUD0.70 million Class F-C Notes, Assigned (P)B2 (sf)
The AUD1.90 million Class G1-NC and AUD1.00 million Class G2-NC
Notes are not rated by Moody's.
The transaction is a securitisation of a portfolio of Australian
consumer Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) and unsecured loan receivables
originated by Brighte Capital Pty Ltd (Brighte, unrated). The
majority of receivables are originated to homeowners to fund solar
panel and home batteries installations. A smaller portion are
originated to fund home improvement products and services, and to
acquire energy efficient products. This is Brighte's fifth term
securitization.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The provisional ratings take into account, among other factors:
-- The evaluation of the underlying receivables and their expected
performance. The portfolio is comprised of solar product-related
and home improvement product-related loans extended to Australian
consumer obligors. The vast majority of receivables have been
extended to homeowners who have historically displayed lower
default rates than non-home owners in comparable portfolios. In
Moody's view, this is a significant credit strength of the
transaction.
-- The limited amount of historical data. Brighte was established
in 2016, with significant origination growth beginning in 2018. The
collateral performance data used in Moody's analysis reflects
Brighte's short origination history — limited to the period
between Q3 2017 and Q2 2023 — and does not cover a full economic
cycle.
-- The evaluation of the capital structure. The transaction
features a sequential/pro rata paydown structure. The notes will be
repaid on a sequential basis until the pro rata paydown conditions
are satisfied, principal will be distributed pro rata among all
Notes. Following the call date or if the pro rata conditions are
otherwise not satisfied, the principal collections will be
distributed sequentially starting with Class A-C and Class A-NC
Notes.
-- The availability of excess spread over the life of the
transaction. The portfolio yield of 11.3% providing significant
excess spread to cure portfolio losses.
-- The liquidity facility in the amount of 2.00% of the rated note
balance with a floor of AUD395,000.
-- The interest rate swap provided by National Australia Bank
Limited ("NAB", Aa2/P-1/Aa1(cr)/P-1(cr)).
-- The experience of Brighte as servicer, and the back-up
servicing arrangements with Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited.
MAIN MODEL ASSUMPTIONS
Moody's base case assumptions are a mean default rate of 3.00%, a
recovery rate of 12.5% and a Aaa portfolio credit enhancement
("PCE") of 20.0%. The expected defaults and recoveries capture
Moody's expectations of performance considering the current
economic outlook, while the PCE captures the loss Moody's expect
the portfolio to suffer in the event of a severe recession
scenario. Expected defaults and PCE are parameters used by Moody's
to calibrate its lognormal portfolio default distribution curve and
to associate a probability with each potential future default
scenario in its ABSROM cash flow model.
Moody's assumed mean default rate is stressed compared to the
extrapolated observed levels of default, estimated at 1.38%. The
stress Moody's has applied in determining its mean default rate
reflects the limited historical data available for Brighte's
portfolio. It also reflects the current macroeconomic trends, and
other similar transactions used as a benchmark.
The PCE of 20.0% is broadly in line with other Australian consumer
ABS deals and is based on Moody's assessment of the pool taking
into account (i) historical data variability; (ii) the unsecured
nature of the loans, (iii) the comparison with other Australian
consumer loan and BNPL originators, and (iv) macroeconomic
expectations.
Key pool features are as follows:
-- The weighted average interest rate of the portfolio is 11.3%
(which includes account keeping fee income).
-- The weighted average Equifax credit score of the portfolio is
around 744.
-- The weighted average remaining term of the portfolio is 48.5
months. The weighted average seasoning of the initial portfolio is
5.0 months.
-- The pool consists of loans extended to mostly homeowners, with
around 88.2% relating to green receivables such as solar panels and
battery products.
Methodology Underlying the Rating Action
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's
Approach to Rating Consumer Loan-Backed ABS" published in December
2022.
Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the ratings:
Up
Levels of credit protection that are greater than necessary to
protect investors against current expectations of loss could lead
to an upgrade of the rating. Moody's current expectations of loss
could be better than its original expectations because of fewer
defaults by underlying obligors. The Australian job market is a
primary driver of performance.
Down
Levels of credit protection that are insufficient to protect
investors against current expectations of loss could lead to a
downgrade of the ratings. Moody's current expectations of loss
could be worse than its original expectations because of more
defaults by underlying obligors. The Australian job market is a
primary driver of performance. Other reasons for worse performance
than Moody's expects include poor servicing, error on the part of
transaction parties, a deterioration in credit quality of
transaction counterparties, lack of transactional governance and
fraud.

NIQUE PTY: New Creditors Meeting Called This Week
-------------------------------------------------
Ragtrader reports that a new meeting will be held this week in a
bid to resolve Australian fashion business Nique, three months
after the brand fell into voluntary administration.
In a new report seen by Ragtrader, the administrator has
recommended that creditors enter a Deed of Company Arrangement
(DOCA), instead of choosing to liquidate or end the
administration.
According to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission
(ASIC), a DOCA is a binding arrangement between a company and its
creditors governing how the company's affairs will be dealt with.
The aim is to maximise the chances of Nique continuing as a
business and provide better return for creditors than an immediate
winding up of the company, Ragtrader says.
According to Ragtrader, the administrator noted that the company is
believed to have been insolvent since mid-2021 and is unable to pay
all of its debts, with evidence indicating Nique will not return to
a state of solvency.
The best-case scenario, under the DOCA, estimates a maximum return
to priority creditors of 100 cents in the dollar, with a return to
unsecured creditors of only 13.20 cents in the dollar.
According to the report, unsecured creditors is estimated to be at
AUD9,370,386, with statutory creditors - including GST, PYAG and
payroll tax - being estimated between AUD549,299 and AUD575,799,
Ragtrader discloses.
The administrator added that they believe it may be difficult to
achieve the maximum return in a liquidation scenario.
Ragtrader relates that the administrator also claimed that ending
the administration is "not appropriate". If creditors instead
choose to wind up the company, Nique would go into liquidation.
Amid this latest development, Nique's website appears to have been
taken down, with no further activity seen on its social media
channels, Ragtrader adds.
About Nique
Founded in Melbourne, the label boasted eight bricks-and-mortar
outlets across its hometown and Sydney in 2019. However, the label
consolidated its retail footprint through the COVID-19 pandemic and
operated three stores at the time of its administration: Fitzroy,
Melbourne, and Newtown and Paddington, Sydney. Nique also operates
an e-commerce site, giving consumers nationwide the chance to wear
its forward-thinking designs.

shareholders of CBAK Energy of $1.4 million in the same
period of 2023.
* Net income attributable to shareholders of CBAK Energy
-- after deducting the change in fair value of warrants --
was $9.8 million, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million
in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the strong
performance of our battery business.
* Basic and diluted income per share were both $0.11,
compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.02
in 2023.
Comenting on the results, Yunfei Li, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, said, "Last year, we strengthened the
foundation of development and continued our growth strategy
centered on expanding our battery business. In the first quarter,
we accelerated this strategy and achieved promising results with a
total net income from the battery business of $11.7 million,
equivalent to the net income for the full year of 2023. At the same
time, we further reduced losses at Hitrans, our acquired and
independently operated materials company, reaching a consolidated
net income of $9.6 million for the first quarter, an outstanding
achievement during an industry-wide downturn. We expect even faster
growth for the rest of the year while remaining committed to our
higher profitability goals for our battery business."
Jiewei Li, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Board of
the Company, added, "In the first quarter, we continued to see
strong top-line growth. Total net revenues increased by 38.7% year
over year, while net revenues from our battery business saw a
significant uplift of 51.5% year over year. In addition, the gross
margin jumped to 31.9% from 6.9% a year ago, with the gross margin
of our battery business surging 30.3 percentage points year over
year to 41.2%. As a result, our bottom line turned positive with a
net income of $9.6 million and a net income from the battery
business of $11.7 million, positive for the third consecutive
quarter. For the full year of 2024, we expected net income from the
battery business to reach between RMB220 million (or approximately
$30.5 million) and RMB250 million (or approximately $34.6 million)
for the full year of 2024. We will continue prudently investing
while maintaining cost discipline as we aim to ensure long-term
sustainable growth."

year as of Dec. 31, 2023. All these factors raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
CHINA VANKE: Uses Unit Shares as Collateral for USD2.8BB Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yicai Global reports that China Vanke, a distressed builder,
obtained CNY20 billion (USD2.8 billion) in a syndicated loan from
financial institutions such as China Merchants Bank, marking the
largest single loan for a Chinese real estate company since 2020.
According to Yicai, Vanke already received half of the funds. It
used shares of warehousing unit Wanwei Logistics as collateral.
Yicai relates that the joint loan from several financiers will help
the company improve its liquidity, the Shenzhen-based firm said,
adding that Vanke has the confidence and ability to proactively,
comprehensively, and systematically complete the transformation of
its financing model while properly handling its maturing debt.
The conglomerate has been improving its capital chain lately amid
governments' supportive policies to stop the spiral of falling
sales of new homes and cash-strapped builders.
According to Yicai, Vanke said on May 13 that it had applied for
loans totaling CNY7.3 billion (USD1 billion) from Bank of China,
Agricultural Bank of China, and Bank of Beijing. On May 20, it got
a CNY1.2 billion (USD165.6 million) loan from BoC. A few days
before that, it issued CNY1.4 billion of commercial mortgage-backed
securities on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to reduce its financing
costs.
Vanke's liabilities totaled CNY1.1 trillion (USD151.8 billion) as
of Dec. 31, Yicai discloses citing the group's annual report.
Interest-bearing liabilities due within one year amounted to
CNY62.4 billion, accounting for almost 20 percent of the total.
Yicai adds that Chairman Yu Liang said during a shareholder meeting
on April 30 that the firm would withdraw from non-core businesses
to focus on its three key areas, namely developing new homes and
rental housing, as well as property management. Vanke's other
businesses at home and abroad include hospitality, as well as
logistics and warehousing, according to its website.
About China Vanke
China Vanke Co., Ltd. operates real estate development businesses.
The Company provides housing renovation, housing loans, real estate
brokerage, and other businesses. China Vanke also operates
logistics, material supply, and other businesses.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on May 1,
2024, Moody's Ratings has downgraded the following ratings of China
Vanke Co., Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vanke Real Estate
(Hong Kong) Company Limited.
1. China Vanke's corporate family rating to Ba3 from Ba1;
2. Backed senior unsecured rating on the medium-term note (MTN)
program of Vanke Real Estate to (P)B1 from (P)Ba2; and
3. Backed senior unsecured rating on the bonds issued by Vanke
Real Estate to B1 from Ba2.
The MTN program and senior unsecured bonds are supported by a deed
of equity interest purchase undertaking and a keepwell deed between
China Vanke, Vanke Real Estate and the bond trustee.
The entities' outlooks have been revised to negative. Previously,
their ratings were on review for downgrade.
The TCR-AP recently reported that S&P Global Ratings lowered its
long-term issuer credit rating on China Vanke Co. Ltd. to 'BB+'
from 'BBB+', and its long-term issuer credit rating on China
Vanke's subsidiary, Vanke Real Estate (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd. to 'BB'
from 'BBB'. S&P also lowered the issue rating on Vanke HK's senior
unsecured notes to 'BB' from 'BBB'.
The negative outlook on China Vanke reflects S&P's expectation that
the company's contracted sales could decline further over the next
12 months amid a prolonged industry downturn. China Vanke's
financial position could also weaken if the company fails to
execute its asset disposal plans.

916 EPARI: CRISIL Keeps B Debt Rating in Not Cooperating Category

CRISIL Ratings has been consistently following up with EJPL for
obtaining information through letter and email dated April 19, 2024
among others, apart from telephonic communication. However, the
issuer has remained non cooperative.
'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should

AKASH INFRA: CRISIL Hikes Rating on INR20cr Cash Loan from D
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL Ratings has upgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of
Akash Infra Projects Ltd (AIPL) to 'CRISIL B/Stable/CRISIL A4' from
'CRISIL D/CRISIL D'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Bank Guarantee 25 CRISIL A4 (Upgraded from
'CRISIL D')
Cash Credit 20 CRISIL B/Stable (Upgraded
from 'CRISIL D')
Proposed Long Term 10 CRISIL B/Stable (Upgraded
Bank Loan Facility from 'CRISIL D')
Proposed Short Term 20 CRISIL A4 (Upgraded from
Bank Loan Facility 'CRISIL D')
Working Capital 5 CRISIL B/Stable (Upgraded
Term Loan from 'CRISIL D')
The upgrade reflects timely debt servicing by the company, followed
by the payment of liability created against bank guarantees of
INR6.25 crore and no further instances of overdrawing in the
working capital facility over the three months starting January
2024.
However, the rating action follows the moderation in business
performance as reflected in estimated revenue of INR53.36 crores in
FY2024 as against INR61.72 crores in FY2023 with estimated
moderation in its operating margin estimated to be at 4.5% in
FY2024 against 10.96% in FY2023. The company's working capital
management has weakened amid slower order execution due to fewer
tenders floated. The timely execution of orders with sustained
improvement in revenue will be monitorable. The company's liquidity
is constrained by high bank limit utilisation of over 98% and delay
in payment of INR85 crore from Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
(AMC) but aided by funding support from the promoters. The
financial risk profile is expected to remain moderate with stretch
in liquidity over the medium term.
The ratings also factor in the stretched working capital cycle of
the company, the decline in its revenue and exposure to cyclicality
and intense competition in the construction industry. AIPL,
however, benefits from its established track record and moderate
financial risk profile.
Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weaknesses:
* Stretched working capital cycle: The company had sizeable gross
current assets (GCAs) estimated over 1,000 days as on March 31,
2024, driven by substantial receivables as well as retention money,
security deposit and fixed deposit margin money requirements for
the bank guarantee. The GCAs have increased in the past three
years, driven by delay in payments by AMC and moderate turnover of
AIPL. While an arbitration award amounting to INR85.83 crore was
passed in favour of AIPL in January 2022 for the pending AMC
receivables relating to the blacklisting of AIPL, AMC has filed an
appeal against the same. Decision on the appeal will be monitored.
* Decline in revenue, and susceptibility to cyclicality and intense
competition in the construction industry: The revenue of AIPL
remains susceptible to economic cycles, which impact the
construction industry. The revenue has fluctuated over the past
three years owing to fewer tenders and slow execution of orders.
The company is estimated to achieve revenue of INR53.36 crore for
fiscal 2024 (against INR61.72 crore in fiscal 2023) with estimated
operating margin over 4.5% (10.9%) on account of lower billing
because of slow order execution.
The company caters to government agencies such as the public works
department (PWD), roads and development department and municipal
corporations, and capital expenditure by these bodies is directly
linked to the economy. Moreover, intense competition in the road
construction and maintenance segments will continue to limit
pricing power, thereby constraining the scalability and
profitability of AIPL.
Strengths:
* Established track record in the construction industry: AIPL has
been undertaking road projects for several local bodies, including
Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority and the Roads and Buildings
Department of Gujarat for more than two decades. The
two-decade-long experience of the promoters in the civil
construction industry, their ability to successfully bid for
tenders and efficiently execute orders, and their established
relationships with customers, will continue to support the
business. Having a proven track record also provides the company an
advantage over new entrants while bidding for tenders. AIPL has
orders worth ~Rs 133 crore as on March 31, 2024, executable in the
next 12-15 months, assuring near-term revenue visibility. However,
its timely execution without any delays along with receipt of new
orders will remain a key monitorable.
* Moderate financial risk profile: Financial risk profile is marked
by moderate gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted
networth ratio (TOL/ANW) estimated at 0.73 time and 1.11 times,
respectively, and networth of around INR80 crore as on March 31,
2024. Debt protection metrics are estimated to be average and
expected to be marginally improving over the medium term with
scheduled debt repayment. Accretion to reserve and absence of any
major, debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) should support the
financial risk profile over the medium term.
Liquidity: Stretched
Bank limit utilisation remained high around 98% for the eight
months ended April 2024. Cash accrual in fiscal 2024 remained
stretched, however, for fiscal 2025, it is expected to improve with
scheduled debt repayments. In addition, it will act as a cushion to
the liquidity of the company. Current ratio is estimated to remain
healthy over 1.9 times for fiscal 2024. The promoters are likely to
extend support in the form of equity and unsecured loans to meet
working capital requirements and repayment obligations. Moderate
gearing and average networth support financial flexibility.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL Ratings believes AIPL's large working capital requirement
will continue to constrain its credit risk profile.
Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factors
* A 20% improvement in revenue growth annually and operating margin
over 6.5%, leading to substantial cash accrual.
* Prudent working capital management, with GCAs moderating along
with realisation of receivables from AMC.
Downward factors
* Pressure on the topline or operating margin, leading to
moderation in cash accrual to less than INR1.4 crore.
* Deterioration in the working capital cycle
AIPL was set up in 1999 as a partnership (Akash Builders) between
Mr Yoginkumar H Patel and Mr Ambusinh P Gol. The firm was
reconstituted as a private limited company within two months. In
fiscal 2017, the company raised equity through a small and medium
enterprise initial public offering (SME-IPO) and was reconstituted
as a limited company with the present name. The company constructs
and repairs roads in Gujarat and is based in Gandhinagar.

ARCH PHARMALABS: NCLT Rejects JM Financial Bid in Insolvency Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that the National Company Law Tribunal
(NCLT) has dismissed JM Financial Asset Reconstruction's
application to intervene in an insolvency resolution application
filed by Bank of Baroda against Arch Pharmalabs.
In its application, JM Financial ARC had sought the tribunal's
intervention to include it as a necessary party since it has
acquired 97% of Arch Pharmalabs' debt and has credit exposure of
over INR9,500 crore, according to ET.
"One cannot be unmindful of the fact that admittedly the corporate
debtor (Arch Pharmalabs) owes a sum of INR130 crore to the
respondent (Bank of Baroda)," observed a division bench of judicial
member Kuldip Kumar Kareer and technical member Anil Raj Chellan in
its order of May 15, ET relays.
"Even if the same may be a meagre amount when compared with the
outstanding dues of the intervener, which are stated to be to the
tune of INR9,500 crore, the intervener cannot be allowed to usurp
the legitimate rights of the other financial creditors to pursue
the remedies available under the law," said the bench.
Before the tribunal's order, JM Financial ARC argued that it is
helping Arch Pharmalabs to revive and if the company is admitted
under the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP), it will
have an "extremely negative impact" on the business operations of
the pharmaceutical company, ET says.
"It is a settled law that while deciding the application, NCLT is
only required to look at debt and default. Hence, legally speaking,
no financial creditor can protest against admission of Section 7
application filed by another financial creditor unless it is a case
of fraudulent initiation, which can be brought to the attention of
NCLT by any party," ET quotes Pooja Mahajan, managing partner of
Chandiok & Mahajan Advocates, as saying.
ET relates that Jyoti A Singh, founder of law firm AJA Legal, said
the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in its present form does
not recognise the right of any other party except the petitioner
and respondent to intervene or make submissions at the
pre-admission stage.
"The only way to tackle these scenarios would be to amend IBC in
such cases where the requisite majority of proposed COC (committee
of creditors) should have a right to intervene in case they are of
the view the CIRP is not the way forward for the valid reasons
which will be tested before the NCLT," added Singh.
JM Financial ARC also argued there was a restructuring agreement
between it and Arch Pharmalabs in December 2017, under which the
dues of the company were restructured at INR1,400 crore and JMFARCL
in its capacity as lender also granted additional facility of
INR200 crore twice in December 2017 and May 2021.
Arch Pharmalabs Limited (APL) is engaged primarily in the
manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and
pharmaceutical intermediates and also provides contract research
and manufacturing services to international and domestic
pharmaceutical companies.

ARNAY TUBES: Ind-Ra Gives BB+ Bank Rating, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has rated Arnay Tubes
Industries Private Limited's (ATIPL) bank facilities as follows:
-- INR80 mil. Fund-based facilities assigned with IND BB+/Stable/
IND A4+ rating;
-- INR20 mil. Proposed fund-based facilities assigned with IND
BB+/Stable/IND A4+ rating;
-- INR175 mil. Term loan due on August 2032 assigned with IND
BB+/Stable rating; and
-- INR175 mil. Proposed Term loan due on December 2031 assigned
with IND BB+/Stable rating.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The ratings are constrained by ATIPL's weak credit metrics and
stretched liquidity, medium scale of operations, healthy return on
capital employed and promoters experience of more than a decade in
the steel industry.
Detailed Description of Key Rating Drivers
Weak Credit Metrics: ATIPL's gross interest coverage (operating
EBITDA/gross interest expenses) stood at 3.3x in FY23, and Ind-Ra
expects the ratio to have declined to 1.8x in FY24 due to an
increase in the overall interest cost to INR51.47 million (FY23:
INR20.04 million). The net leverage (adjusted net debt/operating
EBITDAR) is also expected to have deteriorated to 3.8x in FY24
(FY23: 3.5x) because of an increase in the overall debt levels. At
FYE24, ATIPL had a debt of INR371.63 million (FYE23: INR333.54
million). Ind-Ra expects the credit metrics to remain weak in the
medium term owing to an increase in the overall debt considering
the company's capex plans in FY25.
Healthy Operating Profitability; Susceptible to Volatile Steel
Prices: Ind-Ra expects ATIPL's margins to remain susceptible to
volatility in steel prices in the medium term. ATIPL's EBITDA
margin stood at 3% in FY24 (FY23: 2.2%) along with increase in ROCE
to 15.4% (13.04%), as per provisional financials. The improvement
in margin was on account of a decline in the overall operating cost
to 95.2% from 97%.
Medium Scale of Operations, but Revenue Likely to Improving over
Medium Term: The company started its operation at end-FY22. FY23
was the first full year of operations. It achieved revenue of
INR3,014.5 million (FY22: INR56.20 million) and the revenue growth
was muted in FY24 at INR3083.65 million. However, there has been an
increase in volumes and margins FY24. The sale of number of units
also increased to 18,291MT in FY24 from 16,752MT in FY23. SS pipes
is the major revenue contributor (FY23: 71.8%), followed by Coils
(26.7%) and scrap sales (1.4%). The company has an installed
capacity of 12,000MTPA where the capacity utilization increased to
97.01% in FY24 from 91.2% in FY23. Ind-Ra expects the revenue to
rise over the medium term, considering the company has planned
capex of INR215.8 million to increase the capacity to 18,000MTPA by
adding a new unit. The project is expected by management to be
operational in two to three months. The company plans to fund the
capex through a term loan of INR148.8 million and promoters'
contribution.
Experienced Promoters: The ratings are supported by the promoters'
experience of nearly a decade in the steel sector, leading to
well-established relationships with customers as well as
suppliers.
Liquidity
Stretched: ATIPL does not have any capital market exposure and
relies on banks and financial institutions to meet its funding
requirements. The average maximum utilization of the fund-based
limits was high at 99.78% during the 12 months ended April 2024.
The company is planning to enhance its fund-based limits by INR20.0
million in FY25. The net working capital cycle stood at 11 days in
FY24 (FY23: 13 days). The cash flow from operations was at negative
INR39.08 million in FY23, and Ind-Ra expects it to have remained at
similar levels in FY24. Subsequently, the free cash flow was also
negative INR313.70 million in FY23 due to capex of INR274.62
million. The cash and cash equivalent balance stood at INR13.85
million in FY24 (FY23: INR99.10 million). ATIPL has repayment
obligations of INR29.59 million in FY25 and INR47.50 million for
FY26.
Rating Sensitivities
Positives: Timely completion of capex leading to a substantial
increase in the scale of operations, along with an improvement in
the overall credit metrics with the net leverage remaining below
4.0x and an improvement in liquidity profile, on a sustained basis,
could lead to a positive rating action.
Negative: A decline in the scale of operations or deterioration in
the credit metrics or deterioration in the liquidity profile or
delay in timely completion of capex could lead to a negative rating
action.
About the Company
Incorporated in 2019, ATIPL is promoted by Dinesh Kumar Sen. It
manufactures a wide range of stainless steel welded polished pipes
and tubes and sells them under the brand name Arnay Tubes. The
company has two factories located in Maharashtra, with a total

CRISIL Ratings has been consistently following up with ARM for

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 with reference to the rating assigned/reviewed
with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' as the rating is arrived
at without any management interaction and is based on best
available or limited or dated information on the company. Such non
co-operation by a rated entity may be a result of deterioration in
its credit risk profile. These ratings with 'ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.'
Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, CRISIL
Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of ARM, which restricts CRISIL
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. CRISIL Ratings believes that rating action on ARM

ARUNODAYA PRINT: Ind-Ra Keeps BB Rating in Non-Cooperating
----------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has maintained Arunodaya Print
Pack Private Limited's instrument(s) rating in the non-cooperating
category. The issuer did not participate in the surveillance
exercise, despite continuous requests and follow-ups by the agency
through emails and phone calls. Therefore, investors and other
users are advised to take appropriate caution while using the
rating. The rating will continue to appear as 'IND BB/Stable
(ISSUER NOT COOPERATING)' on the agency's website.
The detailed rating actions are:
-- INR29.50 mil. Fund-based limits maintained in non-cooperating
Category with IND BB/Stable (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING)/IND A4+
(ISSUER NOT COOPERATING) rating;
-- INR38.95 mil. Long-term loans due on May 31, 2021 maintained
in non-cooperating category with IND BB/Stable (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING) rating; and
-- INR2.80 mil. Non-fund-based limits maintained in non-
cooperating category with IND A4+ (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING)
rating.
Note: ISSUER NOT COOPERATING: Issuer did not cooperate; based on
the best available information
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The ratings are maintained in the non-cooperating category in
accordance with Ind-Ra's policy of Issuer Non-Cooperation.
Non-Cooperation by the Issuer
Ind-Ra has not received adequate information and has not been able
to conduct management interaction with Arunodaya Print Pack Private
Limited while reviewing the rating. Ind-Ra had consistently
followed up with Arunodaya Print Pack Private Limited over emails,
apart from phone calls.
Limitations regarding Information Availability
Ind-Ra has reviewed the credit ratings of Arunodaya Print Pack
Private Limited on the basis of best available information and is
unable to provide a forward-looking credit view. Hence, the current
outstanding rating might not reflect Arunodaya Print Pack Private
Limited's credit strength. If an issuer does not provide timely
business and financial updates to the agency, it indicates weak
governance, particularly in 'Transparency of Financial
Information'. The agency may also consider this as symptomatic of a
possible disruption / distress in the issuer's credit profile.
Therefore, investors and other users are advised to take
appropriate caution while using these ratings.
About the Company
Incorporated in 2004, Arunodaya Print Pack is involved in
multicolor printing and packaging. The company caters to the
fast-moving consumer goods, distillery and pharma industries. The
company's registered office is in Delhi.

For arriving at the rating, CRISIL Rating has combined the business
and financial risk profiles of CITL and its wholly owned

FZCO, Dubai. That's because the three entities have common
management and have significant financial linkages

EXCEL ALUGRAPHICS: CRISIL Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR4cr Cash Loan

ratings on the bank loan facilities of Excel Alugraphics Pvt Ltd
(EAPL).
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings

Cash Credit 4 CRISIL B+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
Proposed Long Term
Bank Loan Facility 0.03 CRISIL B+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
Term Loan 0.97 CRISIL B+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
The ratings continue to reflect the company's small scale of
operations and weak financial risk profile. These weaknesses are
partially offset by the extensive experience of the promoters and
funding support from them
Analytical Approach
Unsecured loan of INR5.47 crore, as on March 31, 2023, from the
promoters has been treated as debt due to withdrawals in the past
Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weaknesses:
* Modest scale of operations: Intense competition may continue to
constrain scalability, pricing power and profitability. Revenue
increased to INR43 crore in fiscal 2024 as compared to INR30 crore
in fiscal 2023. However, it is expected to remain modest over the
medium term and will remain a key rating sensitivity factor.
* Weak financial risk profile: Networth is estimated to be negative
as on March 31, 2024, owing to losses in previous years. Gearing
and total outside liabilities to tangible networth ratio were weak
at negative 20.35 times and negative 31.33 times as on March 31,
2023. However, these metrics are expected to improve over the
medium term and will remain a key rating sensitivity factor
Strength:
* Extensive experience and funding support of the promoters:
Presence of over 30 years in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coated
sheets segment has enabled the promoters to understand the market
dynamics and establish strong relationships with suppliers and
customers. Also, the promoters have extended unsecured loan of
INR5.47 crore as on March 31, 2023
Liquidity: Stretched
Bank limit utilisation was moderate at 69% on average for the 12
months through April 2024. Cash accrual is expected to be over INR2
crore which will be sufficient against term debt obligation of
INR0.8-Rs 1 crore over the medium term, and the surplus will
cushion the liquidity of the company. The current ratio was healthy
at 1.99 times as on March 31, 2023. The promoters are likely to
extend support in the form of equity and unsecured loans to meet
the working capital requirement and debt obligation. Extensive
exposure to group companies: EAPL has invested INR1.146 crore in
its group company in the form of equity, loans and advances as on
March 31, 2023, which is 233% of its current networth. CRISIL
Ratings believes that any further exposure in group companies,
impinging its own cash accrual, may impact liquidity and will
remain a rating sensitivity factor.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL Ratings believe EAPL will continue to benefit from the
extensive experience of its promoters and established relationships
with clients
Rating Sensitivity Factors
Upward Factors:
* Sustained improvement in revenue to over INR50 crore and
operating margin over 10% leading to higher net cash accrual
* More-than-expected improvement in the financial risk profile
Downward Factors:
* Further stretch in working capital cycle on account of
higher-than-expected receivables and inventory
* Decline in revenue to below INR30 crore or operating margin below
8%
Incorporated in 1988 in Valsad, Gujarat, and promoted by Mr Rajesh
Desai and his family members, EAPL manufactures PVC-coated sheets
that are widely used in the bus body building industry and for
marine equipment. The product is sold under the EXCELAM brand

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 with reference to the rating assigned/reviewed
with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' as the rating is arrived
at without any management interaction and is based on best
available or limited or dated information on the company. Such non
co-operation by a rated entity may be a result of deterioration in
its credit risk profile. These ratings with 'ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.'
Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, CRISIL
Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of SRGM, which restricts CRISIL

GREENPRO CAPITAL: Swings to $272,910 Net Loss in Q1 2024
--------------------------------------------------------
Greenpro Capital Corp. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $272,910 on $658,399 of total revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net income of $21,936 on
$637,735 of total revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2023. As of March 31, 2024 the Company incurred accumulated deficit
of $36,814,612.
The Company warned its ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing
financial support from its major shareholders. Management believes
the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the
additional cash to meet the Company's obligations as they become
due. Despite the amount of funds that we have raised in the past,
no assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed,
will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that
are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to
obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue
restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or
cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of
equity financing.
