ANNECTO: Shuts Down After 70 Years in Business
----------------------------------------------
News.com.au reports that national aged care and disability services
provider Annecto will close in July, putting the care of more than
3,000 patients in limbo.
According to the report, the business announced the shock closure
on June 11, citing "service model shifts and financial challenges"
for the breakdown.
"This difficult decisions follows careful deliberation and
extensive stakeholder consultation which considered the service
model shifts and financial challenges facing the organisation into
the future," the company said in a statement, notes the report.
The provider supports more than 3,000 people with disabilities,
members of the veteran community and older adults across Victoria,
NSW, Queensland and the ACT.
"Our focus now is working to transition our customers and services
to other trusted providers who can continue delivering the support
and assistance our customers expect and deserve," it said,
according to the report.
News.com.au relates that the company said it was working with the
Department of Health, the NDIS and the Department of Veterans'
Affairs and "other key stakeholders" to ensure "the seamless
transition" of its customers and staff to "trusted and quality
accredited providers".
The business ran for some 70 years.
Annecto chair Colleen Furnaletto OAM said the decision to shut down
the enterprise "was not made lightly," news.com.au relays. "We
deeply appreciate the support of our community over all these years
and the dedication of our staff and partners to high quality of
support standards," she said.
Annecto is a disability and aged care support provider.
BERBERIAN GROUP: Second Creditors' Meeting Set for June 18
----------------------------------------------------------
A second meeting of creditors in the proceedings of Berberian Group
Pty Ltd has been set for June 18, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at the offices
of Vincents at Level 34, 32 Turbot Street in Brisbane and via

circumstances of the Company; and (2) for the creditors of the
Company to resolve whether the Company will execute a deed of
company arrangement, the administration should end, or the Company
be wound up.
Creditors wishing to attend are advised proofs and proxies should
be submitted to the Administrator by June 17, 2025 at 4:00 p.m.
Nick Combis of Vincents Chartered Accountants was appointed as
administrator of the company on May 14, 2025.
BIS INDUSTRIES: Gets AUD135M Debt Lifeline From iPartners, Balmain
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Financial Review's Street Talk reports that
alternatives investing platform iPartners has finalised a fresh
loan to Bis Industries, signing off on a deal to lead a senior
secured corporate facility for the mining services player.
The move comes two months after Street Talk reported that iPartners
was in advanced discussions to join non-bank lender Balmain Group,
which had tabled its own AUD110 million to AUD120 million loan
proposal structured as a cashflow lending facility. This would pay
out Bis's five existing lenders - Deutsche Bank, Davidson Kempner
Capital Management, Soul Patts, Bank of America and GCI - whose
three-year loan was due to expire in July.
Bis Industries Ltd. provides logistics and materials handling
solutions. The Company offers high payload off-road load, haul,
underground equipment delivery, logistics management, crushing,
screening, blending, and molten materials management. Bis
Industries operates throughout Australia.
CRIMSON BOND 2022-1P: S&P Raises Class F Notes Rating to B+ (sf)
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its ratings on five note classes of prime
residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) issued by Perpetual
Corporate Trust Ltd. as trustee of Crimson Bond Trust 2022-1P. At
the same time, S&P affirmed its ratings on two classes of notes.
Crimson Bond Trust 2022-1P is a securitization of prime residential
mortgage loans originated by BC Securities Pty Ltd. (BCS).
The rating actions reflect our view of the credit risk of the pool,
which has been amortizing in line with our expectations. The
underlying collateral portfolio comprises residential mortgage
loans to residents and nonresidents of Australia and to
self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) borrowers.
As of April 30, 2025, loans to nonresident and SMSF borrowers make
up 19.1% and 50.9% of the pool, respectively. Effective
loan-to-value (LTV) ratios across the pool have been declining,
reducing our expectation of losses for the pool.
As of April 30, 2025, the pool has a balance of about A$179.8
million and a pool factor of about 44.9%. The pool's
weighted-average effective LTV ratio is 65.6% and weighted-average
seasoning is 41.3 months. Loans more than 30 days in arrears make
up 1.2% of the pool, of which 0.4% are more than 90 days in
arrears.
S&P said, "Our expectation is that the various mechanisms to
support liquidity within the transaction, including the loss
reserve, the liquidity reserve, and the principal draw function,
are sufficient under our cash flow stress assumptions to ensure
timely payment of interest. We further note the transaction has
performed to date with no losses or charge-offs, and it has not
required drawing on any of the liquidity support mechanisms."
The transaction is currently repaying principal on a pro-rata basis
and hence there is no further buildup of credit support for most of
the rated notes in percentage terms while all of the pro-rata
triggers are met. The class F notes, however, as the most
subordinated rated note outstanding, also receive the class G
notes' portion of principal collections under pro-rata pay and are
continuing to build credit support. The transaction can only pay
pro-rata up until the first call option date, which is the payment
date in August 2025. After that, if the notes are not called, the
transaction will revert to repaying principal sequentially, and
credit support will again start to build up for the rated notes.
S&P said, "Ratings on some of the classes of rated notes are
constrained below the level that our credit and cash flow analysis
would suggest due to risk considerations such as pool concentration
to nonresidents and sensitivities to the outlook for yield. With a
meaningful concentration to nonresidents, the portfolio is exposed
to macroeconomic events and policies that affect both Australia and
the borrowers' countries of residence or income sources. This could
expose the transaction to potential disruptions in cash flow due to
events or policies affecting the flow of funds between countries.
In our cash flow analysis, we applied additional compressed default
curves to simulate a possible concentrated disruption in cash flow
to the trust.
"The pool is also concentrated to SMSF borrowers. Although as a
subsector the performance of SMSF loans has been strong, we apply
additional adjustment in our credit support calculation to reflect
the more significant consequences of noncompliance in an
ever-changing regulatory landscape, elevated risk profile of SMSF
lending, limited data history of performance in more stressful
economic periods, and its more nuanced underwriting complexity. Due
to the nature of the product, we expect such loans to have lower
prepayment rates compared with typical prime residential loans and
therefore expect the SMSF concentration to continue to increase."

REX AIRLINES: Bidder Plans to Return Airline to ASX
---------------------------------------------------
The Australian Financial Review reports that Regional Express would
remain on the ASX and relocate from Sydney to Canberra under a
proposal put to administrators of the collapsed airline as they
finalise an auction process for the company.
According to the Financial Review, Renaissance Infrastructure said
if its bid is successful, it would repay the federal government the
AUD130 million it has invested to keep the airline, known as Rex,
afloat. Other creditors would convert to shareholders.
But Rex's administrators at EY and the government are lukewarm on
Renaissance's proposal, believing it is too complex, the report
relates. The firm had bid for the company last year, but been
knocked back before the process was restarted.
Rex collapsed in July after burning cash competing against Virgin
Australia and Qantas on capital city routes. That part of the
business was shuttered almost immediately, while its profitable
assets were sold.
The Financial Review notes that the regional airline - which will
require a huge investment in new planes given many of its planes
are more than 40 years old - has remained up for sale for nearly a
year. The extended sale process forced Labor to buy out PAG Asia
Capital, the private equity firm that was Rex's biggest creditor,
to prevent the airline from being liquidated before the federal
election.
A sales process was extended until June, with final bids received
this week, the Financial Review says. As part of the process,
interested parties had to outline how they would repay the
government and what assistance would be needed to run Rex over the
long term. Renaissance said it would also offer partial repayment
to unsecured creditors in Rex and convert some of their debt to
equity.
"The government has been a fine steward in gaining control as
secured creditor, it's now time for the government to grab hold of
the promise of our plan for the best future for Rex, a future made
in Australia," the report quotes Renaissance spokesman Andrew
Cochrane as saying. "The mum and dad unsecured creditors and the
Australian public should not bear the cost of returning profits to
faceless offshore banks and consulting firms; instead, we should
strive to invest in a sustainable, locally driven future."
The Financial Review relates that Renaissance said it would
relocate the airline to Canberra. The firm said it would push to
have Rex trading on the ASX by next year with a "new board, new
leadership, new plan, new vision and new brand".
Canberra Airport chief executive Stephen Byron said keeping Rex
flying would be "great for aviation and for competition in the
Australian market."
About Rex Airlines
Regional Express Pty. Ltd., trading as Rex Airlines (and as
Regional Express Airlines on regional routes), is an Australian
airline based in Mascot, New South Wales. It operates scheduled
regional and domestic services. It is Australia's largest regional
airline outside the Qantas group of companies and serves all 6
states across Australia. It is the primary subsidiary of Regional
Express Holdings.
On July 30, 2024, Samuel Freeman, Justin Walsh, and Adam Nikitins
of Ernst & Young Australia (EY Australia) were appointed Joint and
Several Voluntary Administrators by the Rex Group's respective
Boards of Directors. The companies in administration are:
* Regional Express Holdings Limited;
* Regional Express Pty Limited;
* Rex Airlines Pty Ltd;
* Rex Investment Holdings Pty Limited; and
* Air Partners Pty Ltd.
REX AIRLINES: Buyout Fund Lobs Bid for Collapsed Airline
--------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Financial Review's Street Talk reports that the
long-haul sale process for Regional Express is finally preparing to
land, 10 months after the airline collapsed amid a bitter boardroom
feud and a misplaced ambition to compete against Qantas and Virgin
Australia by flying popular capital city routes.
Binding bids for the carrier, better known as Rex, were due last
week after administrator EY and its sale advisor Houlihan Lokey
canvassed local and international buyers, Street Talk relates. The
investment bank was hired in February, and is expected to declare
the winning bidder within weeks.
Street Talk understands Anchorage Capital Partners is among the
parties that submitted a proposal to buy Rex. This is the same
group that acquired David Jones from South Africa's Woolworths
Holdings in 2022 and holds financial services software group GBST
Holdings.
According to Street Talk, Rex's administrator will have to convince
the courts that it has found credible buyers - and not just tyre
kickers - to get an extension to the looming June 30 deadline and
complete the sale. The Albanese government has previously said it
will consider taking ownership of the airline if a buyer doesn't
emerge by then.
Street Talk relates that bidders have been negotiating directly
with the federal government, given it is a secured creditor and
will have a meaningful say in the final deed of company
arrangement. They added bidders have carefully weighed what support
the government could supply to the airline under its new owners.
In addition to Anchorage, Perth-based HMC Group, the parent of
Nexus Airlines, had considered submitting a bid. However, it is
unclear if it tabled a competing offer, Street Talk states.
Nexus flies a limited number of routes around Western Australia and
has bid against Rex for some government-protected and subsidised
services.
Street Talk adds that the administrators have also weighed a
left-of-field proposal to put Rex's planes back in the sky via a
debt-for-equity swap.
Under this scenario, creditors to Rex's regional business - secured
and unsecured - are expected to convert to equity. It would see Rex
return to trading on the ASX, with the government owning about 10
per cent.

RIO TINTO: Tomago Aluminium Smelter Reportedly Close to Collapse
----------------------------------------------------------------
Duncan Evans at News.com.au reports that Rio Tinto's massive Tomago
aluminium smelter in NSW is reportedly close to collapse.
News.com.au relates that the facility, situated in Tomago about
13km west of Newcastle, employs some 1,000 workers directly, but a
stoppage would hit another 5,000 indirect workers across the Hunter
Valley.
Mining giant Rio Tinto holds a 51.6 per cent interest in the
smelter, which produces about 590,000 tonnes of aluminium each
year, or about 37 per cent of Australia's total production.
According to news.com.au, multiple reports suggest the company is
in emergency talks with state and federal governments for a
bailout.
NewsWire has contacted NSW energy minister Penny Sharpe, federal
energy minister Chris Bowen and the Australian Workers' Union for
confirmation of the discussions.
The AFR first reported on the talks on June 6, citing high energy
costs for the possible shutdown, news.com.au notes.
Tomago is currently powered by AGL Energy's Bayswater coal fired
power station, but is pivoting to renewable energy.
In January, the federal government announced a $2 billion
production credit for aluminium businesses to transition their
smelters to green energy, which Rio heralded as a vote of
confidence in domestic manufacturing, news.com.au recalls.
"As traditional energy sources for heavy industry become
increasingly uncompetitive, today's announcement is a critical
piece in helping future-proof the industry," news.com.au quotes Rio
Tinto chief executive for Australia Kellie Parker as saying.
"Such support is crucial for sustaining and growing regional
economies.
"As global industrial customers and consumers increasingly focus on
low-carbon products, this support signals Australia's potential to
be a major supplier of the aluminium needed for the global energy
transition."
But negotiations over a new energy contract have troubled the
smelter's operations for months. The current contract with AGL is
due to expire in 2028.
2GB's Ben Fordham, speaking on June 10, said the situation was "not
good," news.com.au relays.
"We've got the materials, we've got the workers, we've got the
smelters, but what we don't have is a working energy system," the
report quotes Mr.Fordham as saying. "If it shuts, we're not just
losing a smelter, we're risking 6,000 jobs."
Some 90 per cent of Tomago aluminium is exported to Asia.
Aluminium is a key material used in a range of industries, from
aircraft bodies to drink cans.
Rio Tinto Group engages in exploring, mining, and processing
mineral resources worldwide. The company operates through Iron Ore,
Aluminium, Copper, and Minerals Segments. The Iron Ore segment
engages in the iron ore mining, and salt and gypsum production in
Western Australia.

CHINA VANKE: Sells Repurchased Shares to Raise Funds
----------------------------------------------------
Caixin Global reports that China Vanke is offloading stock it
previously bought back at peak prices, as mounting debt and a
worsening liquidity crunch force the company into survival mode.
Caixin relates that Vanke said on June 10 that it sold 22 million
A-shares through block trading, raising about CNY146 million ($20
million) before fees. The shares represent roughly 0.18% of the
company's total outstanding stock.
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
20, 2025, Fitch Ratings has downgraded Chinese homebuilder China
Vanke Co., Ltd.'s Long-Term Foreign- and Local-Currency Issuer
Default Ratings (IDRs) to 'CCC+', from 'B-'. Fitch has also
downgraded the Long-Term IDR on China Vanke's wholly owned
subsidiary, Vanke Real Estate (Hong Kong) Company Ltd (Vanke HK),
to 'CCC', from 'CCC+', and its senior unsecured rating and the
rating on its outstanding senior notes to 'CCC', from 'CCC+', with
a Recovery Rating of 'RR4'. The ratings are removed from Rating
Watch Negative.
The TCR-AP in March 2025, S&P Global Ratings placed on CreditWatch
with developing implications the following ratings: the 'B-'
long-term issuer credit ratings on China Vanke and on China Vanke's
subsidiary Vanke Real Estate (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd. (Vanke HK), and
the 'B-' issue ratings on Vanke HK's senior unsecured notes.
[] CHINA: Carmakers Vow to Make Supplier Payments Within 60 Days
----------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that most Chinese automakers have pledged to make
payments to suppliers within 60 days, responding to regulatory
pressure that followed a recent outcry from suppliers over long
payment times and other practices they call unfair.
According to Reuters, Chinese authorities issued new rules in March
that require big companies to settle most payments with suppliers
within 60 days that became effective June 1. Even so suppliers had
been worried that there were loopholes for the rules to be
circumvented.
Reuters relates that the pledges come after China's industry
ministry summoned automakers to a meeting last week where they were
told to put an end to a brutal price war and excessive competition
- factors which have put tremendous pressure on the industry's
supply chain.
Automakers issuing pledges on June 11 included BYD, Chery and
Geely. State-owned Guangzhou Automobile Group and FAW Group made
their pledges on Tuesday evening [June 10], Reuters discloses.

NEW WORLD: Gains Support for 87% of Loan Refinancing From Banks
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that New World Development Co. has received
more backing from banks for its HK$87.5 billion (US$11.2 billion)
loan refinancing, giving it written commitments for 87% of the
total, according to people familiar with the matter.
That means it has secured HK$76.1 billion of commitments as it
races to complete the deal with more than 50 banks by the end of
the month, when a covenant waiver on its existing facilities
expires, Bloomberg relates. The latest tally marks continued
progress for the distressed Hong Kong builder. As of May 30, New
World had secured written commitments from over 20 banks for 60% of
the total target, Bloomberg reported.
About New World
New World Development Company Limited -- https://www.nwd.com.hk/ --
an investment holding company, operates in the property development
and investment business in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Its
property portfolio includes residential, retail, office, and
industrial properties. The company is also involved in the loyalty
program, fashion retailing and trading, and land development
businesses; and development and operation of sports park. In
addition, it operates club houses, golf and tennis academies, and
shopping malls; constructs and operates Skycity complex; and
operates department stores.
New World Development, an embattled property developer controlled
by one of Hong Kong's richest families, is aiming to complete one
of the city's largest-ever corporate refinancing deals with more
than 50 banks by the end of June 2025 after pushing back an initial
deadline for May 2025, according to Bloomberg News. As at late May
2025, about 10 banks have agreed to terms while the rest are still
talking.
Failure to reach a deal could lead to demands for immediate
repayment, Bloomberg said. The repercussions would threaten both
New World and many of the banks which are already suffering from a
sharp rise in non-performing loans from commercial real estate.

ADI K C PAUL: CRISIL Moves B+ Debt Ratings to Not Cooperating
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL Ratings has migrated the ratings on certain bank facilities
of ADI K C Paul and Sons (ADIKCPS), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Cash Credit 4.7 Crisil B+/Stable (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING; Rating Migrated)
Proposed Long Term 1.3 Crisil B+/Stable (ISSUER NOT
Bank Loan Facility COOPERATING; Rating Migrated)
Crisil Ratings has been consistently following up with ADIKCPS for
obtaining NDS through letters/emails dated March 28, 2025, April
30, 2025 and May 30, 2025 among others, apart from telephonic
communication to seek the same. After non-receipt of NDS for 2
consecutive months, we also sent a letter dated May 23, 2025
reminding the issuer to share the NDS. However, the issuer has
remained non cooperative. Crisil Ratings has also tried to reach
out to the lenders of ADIKCPS to confirm timely debt servicing
during these months, but awaits any feedback.
'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 NDSs from ADIKCPS, which restricts Crisil
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. Further, non-sharing of NDS by issuers may reflect
operational issues faced by issuers in some cases. On the other
hand, it may be a beginning of a general non-cooperation and may

among others, apart from telephonic communication. However, the

'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should

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
is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'. Based on

Crisil Ratings has been consistently following up with ACPL for
obtaining NDS through letters/emails dated March 28, 2025, April
30, 2025 and May 30, 2025 among others, apart from telephonic
communication to seek the same. After non-receipt of NDS for 2
consecutive months, we also sent a letter dated May 23, 2025
reminding the issuer to share the NDS. However, the issuer has
remained non cooperative. Crisil Ratings has also tried to reach
out to the lenders of ACPL to confirm timely debt servicing during
these months, but awaits any feedback.
'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should

Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, Crisil
Ratings failed to receive NDSs from ACPL, which restricts Crisil
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. Further, non-sharing of NDS by issuers may reflect
operational issues faced by issuers in some cases. On the other
hand, it may be a beginning of a general non-cooperation and may
extend to non-submission of other information.
Crisil Ratings believes that rating action on ACPL is consistent
with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'. Based on the last

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 SHM, which restricts Crisil
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. Crisil Ratings believes that rating action on SHM
is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'. Based on
the last available information, the rating on bank facilities of
SHM continues to be 'Crisil D Issuer not cooperating'.

LAVASA CORP: NCLT Allows 90-Day Extension of Insolvency Resolution
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that the Mumbai bench of National
Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has allowed a 90-day extension in the
ongoing consolidated corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP)
of Lavasa Corp beginning May 29.
ET relates that the planned city project is undergoing a fresh CIRP
after the NCLT, in September 2024, directed that the entire process
be restarted, following the successful bidder's failure to
implement the approved resolution plan within the specified time
frame. The company has admitted liabilities of more than INR6,642
crore, while the erstwhile successful bidder, Darwin Platform
Infrastructure, had proposed to pay INR1,814 crore.
"We are of the view that the present application deserves to be
allowed," the division bench of judicial member Ashish Kalia and
technical member Sanjiv Dutt observed on June 2, ET relays. "Since
the CIRP is at an advanced stage and resolution plans have already
been submitted by PRAs (prospective resolution applicants), which
are required to be considered by the CoC (committee of creditors),
the extension is being sought in the interest of value maximization
and to ensure that the objectives of the Code (Insolvency and
Bankruptcy Code) are duly met."
About Lavasa Corp
Lavasa Corporation Limited develops and manages a hill city in
India. Its portfolio includes R&D and training centers, IT and
biotech industry, KPOs and those related to art, fashion, and
animation companies; hospitality, tourism, health, education, and
IT and ITES industries; lakeside apartments, villas, rental
housing, and retiree housing; and studio apartments, starter homes,
and workforce apartments.
Lavasa is a subsidiary of construction major Hindustan Construction
Company (HCC) and entered insolvency proceedings at the National
Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai, in August 2018.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in late
July 2023, the National Company Law Tribunal has approved a
INR1,814 crore resolution plan for the private hill station Lavasa,
nearly five years after the initiation of the insolvency resolution
process.
Darwin Platform Infrastructure Ltd. (DPIL) has emerged as the
winning bidder for Lavasa Corp., which is primarily into the
business of the development of the private hill station by the same
name in Pune, according to BQ Prime.

Crisil Ratings has been consistently following up with MPMEL for
obtaining information through letter and email dated May 9, 2025
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 MPMEL, which restricts Crisil
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. Crisil Ratings believes that rating action on MPMEL
is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'.
Therefore, on account of inadequate information and lack of
management cooperation, Crisil Ratings has migrated the ratings on
bank facilities of MPMEL to 'Crisil B+/Stable/Crisil A4 Issuer not
cooperating'.

Rani, MPMEL manufactures carbon steel shots and steel grit that are
used in the process of cleaning and finishing metal surfaces to

SUSHIL TRADERS: CRISIL Moves B Debt Ratings to Not Cooperating
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL Ratings has migrated the ratings on certain bank facilities
of Sushil Traders (ST), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Loan 0.6 Crisil B/Stable (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING; Rating
Migrated)
Overdraft Facility 6.1 Crisil B/Stable (ISSUER NOT

Migrated)
Crisil Ratings has been consistently following up with ST for
obtaining NDS through letters/emails dated March 28, 2025, April
30, 2025 and May 30, 2025 among others, apart from telephonic
communication to seek the same. After non-receipt of NDS for 2
consecutive months, we also sent a letter dated May 23, 2025
reminding the issuer to share the NDS. However, the issuer has
remained non cooperative. Crisil Ratings has also tried to reach
out to the lenders of ST to confirm timely debt servicing during
these months, but awaits any feedback.
'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 NDSs from ST, which restricts Crisil
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. Further, non-sharing of NDS by issuers may reflect
operational issues faced by issuers in some cases. On the other
hand, it may be a beginning of a general non-cooperation and may
extend to non-submission of other information.
Crisil Ratings believes that rating action on ST is consistent with
'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'. Based on the last available
information, the rating on bank facilities of ST migrated to
'Crisil B/Stable Issuer not cooperating'.
ST is a partnership firm set up in 2008. It undertakes wholesale
and retail distribution of firecrackers. The firm is based in
Palghar, Maharashtra, and operates across Maharashtra and Gujarat.
The four partners -- Mr Dilip Patkar, Mr Rajan Patkar, Mr Sushil

---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Rating 30 Crisil B+/Stable (Rating
Reaffirmed and Withdrawn)
The rating reflects modest scale of operations and susceptibility
to competition from other educational institutions and regulatory
changes in the education sector. These weaknesses are partially
mitigated by the established position of the society in the
education sector in Puttur, Karnataka.
Analytical Approach
Crisil Ratings has evaluated the standalone business and financial
risk profiles of VVSP.
Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weaknesses:
* Modest scale of operations amid intense competition: Scale of
operations remains modest, with revenue (including non-operating
income) of INR33.9 crore in fiscal 2024. Moreover, there are no
tie-ups with overseas universities or educational institutions.
Further, intense competition from other educational institutions in
the vicinity may continue to constrain scalability, pricing power
and scalability. Enhancement in operating performance, especially
in the operating margin, remains critical.
* Susceptibility to regulatory changes in the education sector:
VVSP is regulated by authorities such as All India Council of
Technical Education, Mangalore University, Department of
Pre-University Education, Department of Technical Education, the
Government of Karnataka, Visvesaraya Technological University and
National Council for Teacher Education. Each body has specific
guidelines regarding fresh courses, student intake, infrastructure,
faculty members, fee structure and syllabus and course content.
Non-compliance with the guidelines could adversely affect the
trust's operations. VVSP will continue to face stringent
regulations over the medium term.
Strength:
* Established position in the education sector in Puttur: An
established educational institution formed in 1915, VVSP manages 79
institutions and provides diversified courses -- undergraduate
courses in science, arts, commerce, management, computer
applications and law; engineering degree and diploma courses;
postgraduate courses in business administration course; and
pre-university courses in arts, science and commerce. It has both
English and Kannada medium schools. VVSP is likely to maintain its
established position in Puttur driven by its reputation in the
education sector.
Liquidity: Stretched
Bank limit utilisation is low at around 43 percent for the past 15
months ended March 2025. NCA is expected to improve to a range of
INR5-15 crores and is sufficient for the repayment obligations of
INR1.96-3.00 crores of the company. Current ratio is low at 0.45
times on March 31, 2024. Cash and bank balance was moderate at
INR6.30 crore as on March 31, 2024. Although NCA is sufficient for
the debt obligation over the medium term, NCA is majorly driven by
donation income.
Outlook: Stable
Crisil Ratings believes that VVSP will maintain its established
position in the education field over the medium term
Rating sensitivity factors
Upward factors:
* Improvement in operating profitability to more than 10% leading
to higher net cash accruals
* Improvement in interest coverage
Downward factors:
* Decline in occupancy or lower than expected donations leading to
net cash accruals below INR5 crores.
* Any large debt funded capital expenditure or delay in receipt of
fees, thereby impacting its liquidity and financial risk profile.
Founded in 1915 in Puttur, VVSP is an educational society; it
manages various institutions, including schools, pre-university
colleges, graduation colleges, engineering, law, management and
polytechnic colleges and teacher training institutes.

CCIC SINGAPORE: Faces Liquidation After Employees Laid Off
----------------------------------------------------------
Dimsumdaily Hong Kong reports that following its inclusion on the
US sanctions list on May 13 for allegedly aiding in concealing the
origins of Iranian oil shipments to China, CCIC Singapore, a
subsidiary of China Certification & Inspection Group (CCIC), is
reported to have terminated hundreds of employees and is moving
towards liquidation.
Dimsumdaily relates that the company, among 15 entities sanctioned
by the U.S., has been accused of facilitating the obscurity of
Iranian oil origins through various means, including ship-to-ship
transfers, oil blending, and falsified documentation. The U.S.
Treasury Department highlighted CCIC Singapore's involvement in
inspecting oil deliveries for Sepehr Energy, linked to Iran's
military, which allegedly relied on the firm for cargo
inspections.
CCIC Singapore employees, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
revealed that retrenchments were announced on May 30 following the
sanctions, according to Dimsumdaily. The impacted workforce,
comprising over 400 individuals in Singapore and Malaysia,
expressed dissatisfaction over delayed May salaries, attributed to
the impending liquidation of the firm.
Dimsumdaily says the terminated workers, particularly junior
surveyors with meagre basic salaries, aired grievances over the two
weeks' severance pay per year of service, which they found
inadequate given their reliance on overtime pay and allowances.
Despite the lack of union representation, affected employees have
sought assistance from the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC)
and the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM).
In response to the uncertain future of the company, employees
questioned the lack of support from CCIC's parent company and
management, criticizing the perceived lack of transparency and
communication regarding the sanctions and subsequent layoffs,
Dimsumdaily relates.
Internal emails shared with CNA unveiled a tumultuous timeline
following the sanctions, with initial assurances of continued
operations and transition to a new entity later contradicted by
notices of liquidation and delayed retrenchment benefits,
Dimsumdaily relays. As CCIC Singapore employees grapple with the
aftermath of the sanctions and ensuing fallout, questions remain
regarding the responsibility of the parent company, financial
support for affected workers, and the future of the company's
assets amidst its move towards liquidation.
CCIC Singapore offers surveying services including cargo damage
surveys, quantity surveys, weight control, loading/discharging
supervision, and bunker surveys.

HOMEPLUS CO: Liquidation Value Exceeds Going-Concern Value
----------------------------------------------------------
The Korea Times reports that Homeplus Co's liquidation value
exceeds its going-concern value by over KRW1.2 trillion (US$883
million), according to a financial investigation released on June
12 by the court-appointed accounting firm.
In response, the major supermarket chain decided to pursue mergers
and acquisitions (M&A) ahead of approval of its rehabilitation
plan, the report says.
Homeplus filed for corporate rehabilitation with the Seoul
Bankruptcy Court on March 4, citing a credit rating downgrade.
According to the Korea Times, Samil PwC, the country's largest
accounting firm and the court-appointed investigation committee,
conducted the review.
Earlier in the day, the firm submitted its report to the court and
held a briefing for creditors at Homeplus headquarters to present
its findings and outline the next steps.
The Korea Times relates that the report cited three main factors
leading to Homeplus' rehabilitation filing - rising fixed costs,
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with a shift to online
retail, and liquidity risks stemming from a credit rating
downgrade.
Homeplus' assets were reported at KRW6.8 trillion, with liabilities
totaling KRW2.9 trillion, indicating a significant surplus, the
Korea Times discloses.
The Korea Times says the going-concern value was estimated at
approximately KRW2.5 trillion, while the liquidation value was
assessed at around KRW3.7 trillion - higher than the going-concern
value due to the roughly KRW4 trillion gap between assets and
liabilities.
Based on the investigation committee's recommendation, Kim
Kwang-il, a partner at MBK Partners and co-CEO of Homeplus along
with Joh Ju-yeon, plans to request court approval to proceed with
M&A transactions prior to the approval of the rehabilitation plan,
according to the Korea Times.
MBK Partners is a private equity firm and the largest shareholder
of Homeplus.
However, the executives dispute the committee's assessment,
asserting that the going-concern value exceeds the liquidation
value, and intend to submit an official opinion to the court
reflecting their position, adds the Korea Times.
About Homeplus Co
Homeplus Co. operates discount store chain in South Korea. It
currently operates 126 stores nationwide.
Homeplus entered court-led rehabilitation process on March 4, 2025,
after a Seoul court approved the request by MBK Partners, the
private equity fund that owns the discount store chain.
The decision came after Korea Investors Service and Korea Ratings
Inc. downgraded the company's rating, citing the company's lack of
efforts to improve its financial health.
