CONNECTOR MOTORWAYS: Up to AU$600MM Bid Sought for Tunnel Asset
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News, citing the Australian Financial Review, reports
that Sydney's Lane Cove Tunnel backers are seeking as much as
AU$600 million (US$523 million) for the asset as buyers get access
to data this week.

The Review said receiver KordaMentha will give likely bidders a
chance to review financial data, with Leighton Holdings Ltd.
expected to have access in "coming days," Bloomberg relates.

With equity and debt markets improving and traffic showing signs
of growth, KordaMentha expects several parties to lodge bids for
the tunnel, according to the report.

Connector Motorways -- http://www.connectormotorways.com.au/--
owns and operates Sydney's Lane Cove Tunnel and Military Road
E-Ramps.  The tunnel opened in March 2007.

Connector Motorways was placed in receivership last month.  Martin
Madden and David Merryweather of KordaMentha were appointed
receivers and managers to Connector by the security trustee, BTA
Institutional Services Australia Ltd.


GMAC AUSTRALIA: Moody's Lifts Unsec. Rating to 'B3' from 'Ca'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the senior unsecured rating of
GMAC, Inc. and GMAC-supported subsidiaries to B3 from Ca, with a
stable rating outlook.  The long-term rating of mortgage finance
subsidiary Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap) was affirmed at C,
with a stable rating outlook.

This concludes Moody's review of GMAC's ratings initiated on
June 10, 2009.  The upgrade of GMAC's rating reflects the
improvement in the firm's capital position resulting from its
December 2009 issuance of $2.54 billion of trust preferred
securities and $1.25 billion of mandatory convertible preferred
securities (MCP) to the U.S. Treasury.  GMAC's capital position
also benefited from the U.S. Treasury's conversion of $3.0 billion
of its existing MCP into GMAC common equity.  The U.S. Treasury
now owns 56% of GMAC.  The additional capital enabled GMAC to
maintain relatively stable capital ratios even as it absorbed
$3.28 billion of fourth quarter 2009 pre-tax charges to mark
certain residential mortgages to fair value, $.57 billion of
repurchase reserve expense, and $.81 billion of other significant
items that contributed to a $4.95 billion net loss for the
quarter.

"In our view, the U.S. Treasury's substantial stake in GMAC has a
stabilizing influence on the company's otherwise challenged credit
profile," said Moody's senior analyst Mark Wasden. "Though it is
weaker on a standalone basis, GMAC's credit profile is lifted to a
B3 level as a result of the U.S. Treasury's investment in and
support of GMAC."

Moody's expectation is that the U.S. Treasury will continue its
involvement in and support of GMAC until it has achieved a level
of operational and funding stability that puts it in a position to
exist independent of government support. The stable outlook
reflects Moody's view that the U.S. Treasury's involvement with
GMAC will extend for at least the next 12-18 months, the timeframe
for Moody's ratings outlooks.

Moody's said that continuing uncertainties at ResCap, in terms of
asset quality performance and liquidity, remain constraints to
GMAC's ratings.

Moody's assumes that GMAC will remain supportive of ResCap as it
continues to manage its remaining risk exposures through eventual
liquidation or sale. ResCap has approximately $2 billion of long-
term debt maturing in 2010, funds for which Moody's believes are
likely to be provided by GMAC, whose own liquidity resources are
constrained.  An unexpected deterioration in asset performance or
increase in loan repurchase obligations at ResCap could further
weigh on GMAC's capital and liquidity.

GMAC's own liquidity challenges also continue as a rating
constraint.

GMAC has considerable debt maturities through 2012, including
$7.5 billion of TLGP debt maturities in 2012. Moody's believes
that GMAC will need to issue unsecured debt to fund debt
maturities at the parent holding company. However, the firm's
ability to consistently access this market is not assured, though
the U.S. Treasury's investment in the firm could help to ease
investor concerns. Additionally, Moody's believes there is
execution risk associated with GMAC's business and funding
transitions, including growth expectations for Ally Bank.

Supporting GMAC's upgrade is the improved operating prospects for
GMAC's auto finance operations as the economy stabilizes. However,
Moody's expects that GMAC's auto finance risk-adjusted returns
will remain below historical levels for the foreseeable future due
to elevated credit loss experience and the high cost of certain
funding sources.

The rating outlook and ratings could come under upward pressure if
there is a meaningful and certain diminution of GMAC's remaining
credit and support exposures to ResCap. A further strengthening of
GMAC's liquidity position to the degree that it can reliably serve
the firm's operating requirements independent of the U.S.
government's involvement would also positively influence the
firm's ratings and outlook. Moody's believes that as a condition
for maintaining the current B3 rating and stable outlook, GMAC
must demonstrate improved profitability in its core auto finance
business during 2010, as this will be necessary to improve the
prospects for the firm to access debt and possibly equity capital.
Ratings upgraded in today's action include:

   GMAC, Inc.:
      Issuer Rating: to B3 from Ca
      Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca
      Preferred Stock, Series A: to Caa3 from C

   General Motors Acceptance Corp. of Canada Ltd.:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC, Australia (Finance) Limited:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC Australia LLC:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC International Finance B.V.:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC (NZ) Limited:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC Bank GmbH:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

In its last rating action on June 10, 2009, Moody's upgraded
GMAC's senior unsecured rating to Ca from C and placed its ratings
on review for further possible upgrade.


ONE.TEL: ASIC Founder to Get AU$13.8 Mil. Legal Costs from ASIC
---------------------------------------------------------------
The NSW Supreme Court on Friday ordered the corporate regulator to
pay legal costs to former One.Tel executive directors Jodee Rich
and Mark Silbermann.

"The NSW Supreme Court today made orders as to the legal costs in
the Australian Securities & Investments Commission's One.Tel civil
penalty and related proceedings from 2001.  These were in two
actions, relating to One.Tel's former joint Managing Director,
Jodee Rich and the company's Finance Director, Mark Silbermann and
other related parties," the Australian Securities & Investments
Commission said in a statement.

"The court ordered by consent that ASIC pay Mr. Rich AU$9,622,000
towards his legal costs in those actions and AU$4,178,000 in
interest."

"Orders were also made regarding payments to be made to
Mr. Silberman of $190,000 and Mrs. Rich $70,421.18."

The costs are to be paid by March 22, 2010.

ASIC said it has lodged a notice of intention to appeal.  If ASIC
proceeds with its appeal, it will make an application to stay the
payment of these costs pending a decision on the appeal by the
Court of Appeal.

The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific, citing The Sydney
Morning Herald, reported on Nov. 19, 2009, that Judge Austin
dismissed the long running case launched by ASIC against Messrs.
Rich and Silbermann in December 2001.  Judge Austin found that
ASIC had failed to prove any aspect of pleaded cases against
either defendant.

A TCR-AP report on February 8, 2006, said that the ASIC initiated
actions against Messrs. Rich and Silbermann for allegedly allowing
the company to trade while it was insolvent and for providing
misleading financial information to the Company's Board of
Directors.

The ASIC wanted to ban Messrs. Rich and Silbermann from holding
directorships and is seeking compensation of AU$92 million, the
value allegedly lost by the telco by continuing to trade after
February 2001, when ASIC alleged it became insolvent, the TCR-AP
said.

ASIC has until February 27, 2010, to commence an appeal of the NSW
Supreme Court decision.

                           About One.Tel

One.Tel Limited is an Australian based telecommunications
company, belonging to One.Tel Group.  One.Tel Ltd. was
established in 1995 soon after the deregulation of the
Australian telecommunications industry, most of which are
currently under external administration by court appointed
liquidators.

One.Tel is currently in liquidation due to financial problems.
Ferrier Hodgson was appointed as voluntary administrator on
May 29, 2001.  The administrator's report stated that the company
was insolvent as of March 2001.  Accordingly, the administrator
terminated approximately 3,000 employees in June that same year.

Steve Sherman and Peter Walker of Ferrier Hodgson were then
named liquidators on July 24, 2001.

EVERGRANDE REAL: Moody's Affirms 'B1' Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Evergrande Real Estate
Group Limited's B1 corporate family and senior unsecured bond
ratings with a stable outlook following the successful closing of
the company's US$750 million bond issuance.  The bond rating's
provisional status has also been removed.

The B1 ratings reflect Evergrande's position as one of the largest
developers in China, measured by contracted sales and size of land
bank, and its portfolio's good geographical diversification.  The
ratings also take into account the company's high exposure to
development and execution risks, unproven track record for its
current scale of operations, and debt-funded expansion strategies.

Moody's last rating action with regard to Evergrande occurred on
January 11, 2010, when Moody's assigned a first-time B1 corporate
family rating on the company and a provisional (P)B1 bond rating
on its proposed US$ senior unsecured notes.

Evergrande Real Estate Group Limited is one of China's major
residential housing developers and has adopted a standardized
operating model.  Founded in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, in
1996, the company has rapidly expanded its geographic coverage to
25 cities in China in the past few years, and had a land bank of
around 54 million sqm in gross floor area as of December 31 2009.

ACPL PRODUCTS: CRISIL Puts 'P4+' Ratings on INR15MM ST Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'P4+' rating to ACPL Products Pvt Ltd's
(formerly Agra Products Pvt Ltd) bank facilities.  The rating
reflects ACPL's large working capital requirements.  This rating
weakness is partially offset by ACPL's low vulnerability to
volatility in silver prices, and comfortable debt protection
metrics.

   Facilities                               Ratings
   ----------                               -------
   INR150.0 Million Export Packing Credit   P4+ (Assigned)
   INR30.0 Million Bill Discounting         P4+ (Assigned)
   INR15.0 Million Proposed Short Term      P4+ (Assigned)
                   Bank Loan Facility

Set up in 2002 by Mr. Rohit Gupta, ACPL manufactures silver
jewellery.  The company is a 100-per-cent export-oriented unit and
procures its silver requirements under the silver loan scheme with
The Nova Scotia Bank (Nova Scotia).  It has a manufacturing unit
in Noida (Uttar Pradesh).  The company manufactures basic
jewellery comprising chains and earrings, and fashion jewellery
comprising bracelets, pendants, and necklaces.  Its clientele
includes well-established companies such as Osuuskunta
Timanttiset, Finland (established in 1972 with a network of around
70 retail stores in Finland), Hokuo Sangyo Company Ltd, Japan
(established in 1958), and Bevilles Jewellers, Australia
(established in 1934).

ACPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR18 million on net
sales of INR515 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR13 million on net sales
of INR319 million for 2007-08.


BOMMIDALA VENTURES: CRISIL Reaffirms 'P4+' Ratings on Bank Debts
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Bommidala Ventures Pvt
Ltd continues to reflect BVPL's below-average financial risk
profile marked by low net worth and weak debt protection measures
because of low profitability, working-capital-intensive
operations, and exposure to risks relating to unfavorable
regulations and fluctuations in the value of the Indian rupee.
These weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits BVPL derives
from the experience of its promoters in the tobacco industry, and
the healthy business prospects for Indian tobacco exporters.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR450.0 Million Packing Credit       P4+ (Reaffirmed)
   INR17.5 Million Letter of Credit      P4+ (Reaffirmed)
   INR15.0 Million Bank Guarantee        P4+ (Reaffirmed)

BVPL, established in 1996 and based in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, is
one of the leading exporters of tobacco. The company exports
processed tobacco leaves.

BVPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR5.7 million on net
sales of INR515 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR3.8 million on net sales
of INR268 million for 2007-08.


CCS INFOTECH: CRISIL Reaffirms 'BB+' Ratings on Various Bank Debts
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of CCS Infotech Ltd
continue to reflect CCS Infotech's below-average financial risk
profile constrained by its small net worth and weak debt
protection measures, the pressure on the company's margins because
of the fragmented nature of the IT hardware industry and
competition from large players, and the working-capital-intensive
nature of its operations.  These weaknesses are partially offset
by CCS Infotech's established position in the system integration
and computer hardware market with a strong clientele.

   Facilities                              Ratings
   ----------                              -------
   INR5 Million Long-Term Loan             BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR156.5 Million Proposed LT Loan       BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR64 Million Cash Credit Limits        BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR10 Million Letter of Credit Limits   P4+ (Reaffirmed)
   INR14.5 Million Bank Guarantee Limits   P4+ (Reaffirmed)

As part of this rating exercise, CRISIL has combined the financial
risk profiles of CCS Infotech and its subsidiary, CCS Infotech
Singapore Pte Ltd.  This is because CCS Singapore is managed by
the promoters of CCS Infotech, and both companies have a common
line of business and fungible funds.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that CCS Infotech will continue to benefit from
its established position in the system integration and computer
hardware market and its strong clientele. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' in case of a substantial improvement in the
company's cash flows and margins, resulting in a healthy financial
risk profile. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative'
in case of a significant decline in CCS Infotech's operating
margin and cash flows on account of intense competition in the
computer hardware market, adversely affecting its debt protection
metrics, or if the company takes up aggressive retail expansion.

                         About CCS Infotech

Set up as a partnership firm in 1989 by Mr. H Ratnakumar and Mr. M
A Hasan Abdul Kadar, and incorporated as a public limited company
in 1997, CCS Infotech assembles desktops, servers, and notebooks,

MOHAN ENERGY: CRISIL Assigns 'BB+' Rating on INR37.5MM Cash Credit
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB+/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Mohan Energy Corporation Pvt Ltd.

   Facilities                           Ratings
   ----------                           -------
   INR37.5 Million Cash Credit*         BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR12.5 Million Proposed LT Bank
                      Loan Facility     BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR50.0 Million Letter of Credit/
                    Bank Guarantee      P4+ (Assigned)
   INR300.0 Million Proposed Short      P4+ (Assigned)
            Term Bank Loan Facility

   *Interchangeable with Bill Discounting

The ratings reflect vulnerability of MECPL's revenue to delays in
obtaining approval from authorities, volatility in raw material
prices, business concentration in Africa and exposure to related
risk, small scale of operations, and working-capital-intensive
nature of operations.  These weaknesses are partially offset by
the benefits MECPL derives from its moderate financial risk
profile and promoters' extensive industry experience and
established presence in Africa.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that MECPL will maintain its established presence
in Africa and its moderate financial risk profile over the medium
term. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the company
increases its scale of operations substantially without weakening
its financial risk profile.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if the company's financial risk profile
deteriorates because of large, debt-funded capital expenditure or
fall in operating margin.

                       About Mohan Energy

Incorporated in May 2006, MECPL is an engineering, procurement,
and construction (EPC) contractor in the electricity and power
sector.  While the company operates primarily in Africa, it has
also executed projects in India and the Middle East.  It has its
offices in major African countries such as Ghana, Angola,
Mozambique, and Sudan.  Furthermore, for other countries such as
Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Ethiopia, Zambia, Mali, and
Senegal, the company employs commission agents to receive new
business. Prior to its incorporation as a separate company, it
operated as a division of Mohan Exports (India) Pvt Ltd.  The
management decided to hive off the division into a separate
company in order to focus entirely on EPC works and to increase
its presence in energy-related businesses.

MECPL only undertakes projects funded by Government of India's
(GoI's) line of credit to African countries (through EXIM Bank) or
multilateral funding agencies such as World Bank, Asian
Development Bank, African Development Bank, and United Nations
(UN) agencies.  The GoI-funded projects account for a majority of
the company's business.  This is done to minimize the credit risk
associated with dealing with African countries.

MECPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR22.9 million on net
sales of INR422.8 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a loss of INR 7.3 million on net
sales of INR131.5 million for 2007-08.


PASCHIM HYDRO: CRISIL Rates INR287.5 Mil. LT Loan at 'BB-'
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable' rating to Paschim Hydro
Energy Pvt. Ltd's term loan facility.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR287.50 Million Long Term Loan      BB-/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects Paschim's below-average financial risk profile
marked by high gearing and average debt protection measures, and
exposure to risks relating to uncertainty regarding availability
of water for power generation.  These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by the Paschim's stable revenues from sale of
power to Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Ltd.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Paschim will maintain a comfortable financial
risk profile on the back of its steady cash accruals over the
medium term.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the
company operates at a higher plant load factor (PLF) enabling
better cash flows or in case of considerable improvement in its
capital structure.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' in case of delays in receivables or lower water inflow,
affecting the company's PLF and cash accruals.

                        About Paschim Hydro

Paschim was set up in 2002 as a special purpose vehicle (SPV) by
the promoters of MVK Energy Pvt Ltd (MVK), Mr. M Srinivas and
Mr. K Vijay Kumar. Paschim has set up Kadamane Mini Hydel Scheme
(KMHS-1), a 9-megawatt hydro-power project across the Kadamane
stream, near Kemp Hole, in Karnataka.  The stream is a tributary
of the River Nethravathy.  The project was allotted by the
Government of Karnataka on a build-own-operate-and-transfer basis
in 2004.  The ownership of the unit is with Paschim for 30 years.
Paschim signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Karnataka
Power Transmission Corporation Ltd in November 2004 for 30 years
from the commercial operation date.

Paschim reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR12.9 million on
net sales of INR74.5 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31), against a loss of INR1.5 million on
net sales of INR39.4 million for 2007-08.


RIVIERA POLYMERS: Low Net Worth Prompts CRISIL 'BB' Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB/Stable/P4+' ratings to Riviera
Polymers Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR100.0 Million Cash Credit       BB/Stable (Assigned)
   INR35.0 Million Bank Guarantee     P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect Riviera's moderate financial risk profile,
marked by low net worth and high gearing and exposure to risks
relating to geographical concentration in revenue profile, and
small scale of operations.  These rating weaknesses are partially
offset by the benefits that Riviera derives from its established
track record as a distributor of polymers for GAIL India Ltd
(GAIL).The ratings also reflect Riviera's satisfactory risk
management policies.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Riviera's financial risk profile will remain
moderate, constrained by its low net worth and high gearing.  The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the company's scale of
operations increases notably and its capital structure improves
significantly backed by sustained improvement in profitability.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the
company's financial risk profile deteriorates materially owing to
large, debt-funded capex.

                      About Riviera Polymers

Incorporated in 1982 by Mr. Vinod Bajoria and Mr. Babulal Rungta,
Riviera is a del credere agent (DCA) for GAIL since 1997.  Riviera
handled polymer volume of over 37,000 tonnes for its principal in
2008-09.  Riviera also manufactures master batches and fillers,
which are primarily used to manufacture a large variety of plastic
products. The company has a manufacturing facility at Sanand
(Gujarat) with an installed capacity of 400 tonnes per month.  The
current capacity utilization of the plant is around 65 per cent.

Riviera reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR3.7 million on net
sales of INR76.5 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31) against a PAT of INR3.2 million on net sales
of INR67.8 million for 2007-08.


SOMA ISOLUX: CRISIL Rates INR33.89 Billion Term Loan at 'BB'
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB/Stable' rating to Soma Isolux NH One
Tollway Pvt Ltd's term loan facility.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR33.89 Billion Term Loan       BB/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects SINOTPL's exposure to risks relating to the
implementation and stabilisation of its six-lane Panipat?Jalandhar
National Highway (NH)-1 project.  The rating also factors in the
company's exposure to revenue risks associated with toll
collection and its expected weak debt protection measures in the
initial years.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by
the benefits that SINOTPL derives from the high economic viability
of the project stretch, its limited exposure to funding risks, its
fixed time and cost turnkey contracts, and strong promoters'
experience.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that SINOTPL will maintain its business risk
profile over the near to medium term, given its negligible
exposure to funding risks and the low technical complexity of road
projects.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the project
progresses faster than CRISIL's expectations, leading to early
completion of the project.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Negative' in case of significant time and cost overruns on the
project, or lower-than-expected toll collections.

                         About Soma Isolux

Incorporated in 2008, SINOTPL is a special purpose vehicle (SPV)
promoted by the Isolux Corsan group and Soma Enterprise Ltd (SEL)
in the ratio of 61:39.  The SPV has entered into a concession
agreement with the National Highways Authority of India (rated
'AAA/Stable' by CRISIL) for execution of the 291-kilometre, six-
lane Panipat?Jalandhar road project in Haryana/Punjab on a build,
operate, and transfer (BOT) basis.  The concession period is for
15 years, including construction period of 30 months.


SONIC BIOCHEM: CRISIL Assigns 'BB+' Ratings on Various Bank Debts
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of Sonic Biochem
Extractions Ltd continue to reflect Sonic Biochem's weak financial
risk profile marked by high gearing and weak debt protection
measures, and the risks inherent in agro commodity-related
businesses.  These weaknesses are partially offset by Sonic
Biochem's diversified product profile, diverse customer base, and
wide geographic reach, which together lend stability to its
revenues.

   Facilities                                   Ratings
   ----------                                   -------
   INR460.0 Million Cash Credit (Enhanced       BB+/Stable
                from INR380.0 Million)

   INR505.2 Million Term Loan* (Enhanced        BB+/Stable
                from INR231.4 Million)

   INR55.0 Million Letter of Credit (Enhanced   P4+
              from INR10.0 Million)
   INR10.0 Million Bank Guarantee               P4+ (Reaffirmed)

   *Includes proposed limit of INR103.9 Million

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Sonic Biochem will maintain its business risk
profile over the medium term on the back of its established market
position, and diversified revenue profile. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' in case of a higher-than-expected and
sustained improvement in the company's operating margin and
increase in cash accruals. Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Negative' in the event of delay in project implementation, or
if there is steep decline in the company's operating margin,
resulting in deterioration in its financial risk profile.

                        About Sonic Biochem

Sonic Biochem is part of the Indore-based Matlani group of
companies, which has interests in real estate development and soya
bean products. The group companies are headed by Mr. Girish
Matlani. Sonic Biochem manufactures more than 10 products from
non-genetically modified soya bean, including soya flour, soya
oil, texturised soya protein, and tocopherol. Sonic Biochem has
two manufacturing units in Pithampur, and one in Mandsaur. The
company has undertaken another capacity addition programme in
Mandideep to almost double the size of its existing capacity. The
expansion, planned at an outlay of INR430 million, is expected to
be completed in two phases; the first phase is expected to become
operational by May 2010, and the second by December 2010.

For 2008-09 (refers to financial year, July 1 to June 30), Sonic
Biochem reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR97 million on net
sales of INR2.7 billion, against a PAT of INR100 million on net
sales of INR2.6 billion for the 2007-08.


SUNPACK BARRIER: CRISIL Places 'B-' Rating on INR119.1MM Term Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Negative' rating to Sunpack Barrier
Films Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                           Ratings
   ----------                           -------
   INR35.0 Million Cash Credit Limit    B-/Negative (Assigned)
   INR119.1 Million Term Loan           B-/Negative (Assigned)

The rating reflects Sunpack's exposure to risks relating to
limited track record of operations, leading to low sales, its
limited financial flexibility, and weak financial risk profile
marked by high gearing and low cash accruals vis-a-vis term debt
obligations.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
benefits that Sunpack derives from its presence in the niche
segment of multilayer, high-grade films.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes that Sunpack's financial risk profile will
deteriorate over the medium term, driven by low off-take of the
company's products, and increasing term debt obligations.  The
outlook may be revised to 'Stable' if the company's sales increase
significantly, resulting in higher-than-expected cash accruals.
Conversely, the rating may be downgraded if there is a material
decline in the company's operating profitability, or if low cash
accruals leads to additional stress on its financial risk profile.

                       About Sunpack Barrier

Incorporated in 2006, Sunpack is part of the Mamta group of
companies promoted by Mr. Mahendra N Patel.  The company was
incorporated to set up a flexible packaging and multilayer films
manufacturing unit near Kadi (Gujarat).  The unit, which became

funded through a term loan of INR154 million and through
promoters' funds.  The company has installed capacity to

Sunpack reported a net loss of INR6.7 million on net sales of
INR77.3 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31), against a net loss of INR22.1 million on net sales of
INR62.1 million for 2007-08.

JAPAN FINANCE: Moody's Upgrades Ratings on Four Japan SME CLOs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service announced that it has upgraded the
ratings for 4 Japan SME CLOs by the Japan Finance Corporation
(formerly, Japan Finance Corporation for Small and Medium
Enterprise):

The rating actions are:

  - CLO in June 2007 of Regional Financial Institutions

  -- JPY11,900,000,000 Senior Trust Certificates, Upgraded to A3;
     previously on April 30, 2009, downgraded to Baa3 from Aa2
     under review for possible downgrade.

  -- JPY180,000,000 Mezzanine Trust Certificates, Upgraded to B1;
     previously on April 30, 2009, downgraded to Caa3 from Baa3
     under review for possible downgrade.

  - CLO in December 2007 of Regional Financial Institutions

  -- JPY340,000,000 Mezzanine Trust Certificates, Upgraded to
     Aa3; previously on December 11, 2007, assigned A2.

  - Synthetic CLO of Regional Financial Institutions (Cosmos 2007
    Co Ltd) (including Oita Prefecture CLO 2007)

  -- JPY10,000,000 Series One Class B Unsecured Notes, Upgraded
     to Aaa; previously on August 3, 2009, confirmed A2 from A2
     placed under review for possible downgrade.

  - Synthetic CLO of Regional Financial Institutions (Tanpopo
    2008, LLC) (including Kumamoto Prefecture CLO 2007)

  -- JPY800,000,000 Series One Class B Unsecured Notes, Upgraded
     to Aa3; previously on March 5, 2008, assigned A1.

The first two of these CLOs (CLO in June 2007 and CLO in December
2007) are cash CLO transactions backed by corporate loans, in the
form of:

(1) SME loans originated by regional financial institutions and
    purchased by JFC under its "purchase scheme" securitization
    program; and

(2) SME loans originated by JFC under its "self-origination
    scheme" securitization program.

The latter two are synthetic CLO transactions referencing
corporate loans for SMEs that were originated by financial
institutions under JFC's "purchase scheme" program.

In all four cases, the SME loans were originated with the
intention of securitizing them.

The rating actions reflect improved credit enhancement for the
transactions, mainly stemming from a substantially lower-than-
expected number of underlying assets defaulting since last April,
or continued amortization of the senior tranches.

Since last spring, the Japanese economy has been recovering amid
improvements in production and a rise in exports.  Moreover, the
government remains focused on initiatives to support SME
financing.  The initiatives include the expansion of the emergency
guarantee program provided by Credit Guarantee Corporations, the
increase of safety net loans by JFC, and the enforcement of the
loan repayment moratorium law.  Amid this change in the economic
environment, Moody's believes that a large increase of SME
defaults that exceed Moody's expectation in 2010 is not likely.

For most of SME CLOs by JFC, default rates -- since last April --
have been generally in line with or better than Moody's
expectations, whereas the credit enhancement for senior tranches
has improved on the whole.  In a small number of cases where
default rates since last April were above Moody's expectations,
the negative impact was offset by the improving subordination
ratios as these transactions have been redeemed, in a way similar
to sequential pay mechanisms.

In reaching its rating decision, Moody's took into account, in
addition to the default rates, both asset delinquency trends and
changes in credit enhancement, which comprises current
subordination and excess spread.  Moody's notes that on the one
hand, the amount and ratio of delinquent assets in some
transactions' pools is still high.  The delinquency trend and
levels are specifically taken into account in Moody's default rate
assumptions and scenario analysis, including a scenario where all
of the current delinquent assets default.  On the other hand,
these transactions, the subordination ratio of the senior tranches
increases as the underlying assets amortize.

This summarizes the key performance and structural trends in the
transactions:

  - CLO in June 2007 of Regional Financial Institutions

Since last April, three defaults, or approximately JPY113 million,
have occurred, well within Moody's expectation.  Delinquencies
have continued to increase, so the amount of delinquent assets in
the pool is still high.  Moody's expects that default probability
for the underlying pool will range from 3% to 4%.

While the number of delinquent assets increased, each delinquency
occurred in April-December 2009 was relatively of small size.
Thus, the impact on ratings has been minimal.  Moreover, the
prepayment of one delinquent loan (JPY 70 million), whose size was
around 1% against current pool balance, had a positive impact on
the ratings.

  - CLO in December 2007 of Regional Financial Institutions

Since last April, two defaults, or approximately JPY 60 million,
have occurred, well within Moody's expectation.  Delinquencies
have continued to increase, so the amount of delinquent assets in
the pool is still high.  Moody's expects that the default
probability for the underlying pool will be around 2%.

  - Synthetic CLO of Regional Financial Institutions (Cosmos 2007
    Co Ltd) (including Oita Prefecture CLO 2007)

Since last April, nine credit events, or approximately
JPY137 million, have occurred, in line with Moody's expectation.
Moody's expects that the credit event probability for the
reference pool will range from 4% to 5%.

Although the credit event rate is still high, the subordination
ratio is increasing rapidly due to the short remaining life of the
transaction (less than one year).  Thus, even if the credit event
rate of this transaction is above the current level, the impact on
ratings will still be limited.

  - Synthetic CLO of Regional Financial Institutions (Tanpopo
    2008, LLC) (including Kumamoto Prefecture CLO 2007)

Since last April, 36 credit events, or approximately
JPY870 million, have occurred.  The number of credit events was
above Moody's expectation.  Moody's expects that the credit event
probability for this reference pool will range from 3% to 4%.

Although the credit event rate will stay high, the subordination
ratio is increasing rapidly due to the short remaining life of the
transaction (around one year).  Thus, even if the credit event
rate of this transaction is above the current level, the impact on
ratings will still be limited.

SANYO ELECTRIC: Acquisition Deal Hits Panasonic Results
-------------------------------------------------------
Panasonic Corp. said the acquisition of a majority stake in Sanyo
Electric Co. will weigh on its full-year results and change its
future investment priorities from flat-panel televisions to
energy-related products like electric car batteries and solar
panels, Daisuke Wakabayashi writes for The Wall Street Journal.

The Journal relates that Sanyo, which was acquired by Panasonic in
December, initially will drag on Panasonic's earnings.

For the current fiscal year ending March 31, Panasonic said the
Sanyo deal will add JPY10 billion in net loss even though it will
boost revenue by JPY375 billion.  Panasonic kept its full-year net
loss outlook unchanged at JPY140 billion, although it said it
would have narrowed the loss to JPY130 billion if not for the
Sanyo deal.

"Up until now, we've focused on investing in flat-panel TVs, but
we're going to shift somewhat to energy and environmental products
going forward," the Journal quoted Makoto Uenoyama, Panasonic's
chief financial officer, as saying.

According to the report, Panasonic returned to the black in its
fiscal third quarter ended in December, with a net profit of
JPY32.26 billion compared to a loss of JPY63.12 billion in the
same period a year earlier.  On an operating basis, profit nearly
quadrupled to JPY101 billion while revenue was up 0.4% at JPY1.887
trillion in the quarter, the Journal discloses.

* JAPAN: Corporate Bankruptcies Down 21.8% in January
-----------------------------------------------------
Japanese corporate bankruptcies fell 21.8% in January from a year
earlier to their lowest level since 2007 and down for a sixth

KUMHO ASIANA: Avoids Receivership; Owners to Put Up Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kumho Asiana Group avoided court receivership after its owners
agreed late Monday to put up some of their private wealth,
including shares in the conglomerate, as collateral for loans,
JoongAng Daily reports.

JoongAng Daily relates the Korea Development Bank, the
conglomerate's main creditor, said a majority of shareholders and
owners of the group gathered yesterday at KDB headquarters in
Yeouido, Seoul, for an emergency meeting to discuss the group's
restructuring program.

According to JoongAng Daily, the controlling family members and
creditors agreed that:

    * two of the group's affiliates, Kumho Industrial and
      Kumho Tires, will undergo debt workout procedures
      led by the creditors as planned; and

    * Kumho Petrochemical and Asiana Airlines will go into
      a restructuring program based on a voluntary agreement
      procedure.

In addition, JoongAng Daily relates, they also reached a consensus
that:

    * Kumho Petrochemical, the group's de facto holding firm,
      will operate under the management of Park Chan-koo, the
      fourth son of the group's founder, who was forced to
      resign from the chemical company's chairman post last
      year due to family squabbles.

    * Kumho Tires will be under the leadership of Park Sam-koo,
      honorary president of the group.

    * Other affiliates including Asiana Airlines will be under
      the creditors? management.

                        Receivership Threat

The Korea Times has reported that Kumho Asiana Group is likely to
be put under court receivership as its owners have rejected a
demand by creditors that they offer their stockholdings and assets
as collateral for fresh loans.

The Times related that the creditors said they would put all debt
restructuring steps on hold after the owners passed the Sunday
deadline for the key demand.

According to Bloomberg, Min Euoo Sung, chief executive officer of
Korea Development Bank, the main creditor, said on Feb. 6
creditors will take "strong" measures if the group's biggest
shareholders don't keep the promise of providing stake as
collateral.

The Korea Herald reports that the creditors pledged to inject
fresh funds worth KRW380 billion into Kumho Industrial and Kumho
Tire, two units of the group.  The Herald says they demanded the
family of Park Sam-koo, the chairman of Kumho Asiana Group,
provide as collateral all assets they have except the house they
live in.

"Unless they fulfill their promise, we cannot inject fresh funds
into Kumho Industrial and Kumho Tire.  Additionally, parts
suppliers and other companies doing business with them will also
face financial hardship.  In the worst case scenario, the two
units may be forced to file for court receivership," the Korea
Times quoted a top creditor as saying.

Creditors will finalize the group's turnaround by the end of
March, the Korea Times adds.

As reported in Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
August 6, 2010, The Korea Herald said that Kumho Asiana Group has
been suffering from a liquidity crisis, which observers describe
as a typical case of acquisition indigestion.  In a bid to ease a
cash shortage, the conglomerate in July decided to re-sell the
controlling stakes and management rights of Daewoo Engineering &
Construction, after acquiring it in 2006 for KRW6.4 trillion.
Bloomberg said creditors including Shinhan Bank may force the
company to repay KRW3.9 trillion (US$3.2 billion) by June if they
exercise an option to sell Daewoo Engineering shares they hold
back to Kumho Asiana.

Kumho Asiana is seeking to sell between 50% and 72% of the
builder, Bloomberg said citing people with knowledge of the
matter.

Kumho Asiana unveiled a restructuring plan on January 5 that
involves raising KRW1.3 trillion (US$1.1 billion) by selling off
assets, while cutting costs via a 20% reduction in executive
positions and wages, Yonhap reported.

According to Bloomberg data, the group's net debt was KRW2.21
trillion as of September 30, 2009 -- more than double the KRW998.5
billion it had at the end of 2005 before Kumho Asiana bought 72%
of Daewoo Engineering for KRW6.43 trillion.  Kumho Tire's net debt
stood at KRW1.71 trillion at the end of September 2009.

                        About Kumho Asiana

Established in 1946, Kumho Asiana Group is a large South Korean
conglomerate, with subsidiaries in the automotive, industry,
leisure, logistic, chemical and airline fields.  The group is
headquartered at the Kumho Asiana Main Tower in Sinmunno 1-ga,
Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea.


SSANGYONG MOTOR: Names Samjung KPMG Advisory as Sale Arranger
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that a group led by Samjung KPMG Advisory

MARAC FINANCE: Uncovers Irregular Loan; to Take NZ$2.5MM Provision
------------------------------------------------------------------
Pyne Gould Corp. said that an internal audit on Marac Finance's
lending activities has uncovered an irregularity in relation to
one particular business loan.

The loan dates back to 2003 and is the only irregular loan that
was found as a result of the new auditing processes introduced by
the new management team from October 2009, Pyne Gould said in a
statement to the NZX.

"The circumstances behind that irregularity have only recently
been ascertained, but it involves lending that is outside the
company's internally prescribed practices.  The circumstances do
not appear to have involved personal gain.  However, evidence
points to the unauthorized lending having been suppressed," it
said.

Marac will take this irregularity into account in the company's
half year results and a provision of $2.5 million post tax will be
made.

PGC said it remains confident of meeting its full year forecast.

New Zealand-based Marac Finance Limited provides business and
personal finance and leasing options.  It is owned by Pyne Gould
Corporation (PGC).

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.
