AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL: Posts AU$53.7MM Loss for 2009
------------------------------------------------------
Australian Agricultural Company Limited released its full year
financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In line with the guidance previously provided, the Company
incurred a AU$53.7 million loss for the full year, compared to a
AU$38.7 million loss for the previous corresponding period ended
December 31, 2008.

Key pointes include:

   * After tax loss of AU$53.7 million (2008: loss of AU$38.7
     million)

   * Operating cash outflow of AU$56.4 million (2008: inflow of
     AU$10.7 million)

   * Property valuation decrease of 3% or AU$16 million (2008:
     increase of 6% or AU$39 million)

   * Positive non-cash benefit of AU$14 million from movement in
     The Company's interest rate swap position (2008: loss of
     AU$20 million)

   * Net Tangible Asset valuation of AU$2.42 per share (2008:
     AU$2.63 per share)

   * Gearing improvement to 32% (38% in previous corresponding
     period)

   * AU$330 million debt successfully refinanced, fulfilling 2010
     And 2011 debt maturity obligations

   * David Farley appointed CEO on December 1, 2009

   * Executive team continuing to build - Kerrie Parker appointed
     CFO, Troy Setter appointed GM Cattle Trading.

Newly appointed CEO David Farley said the results were adversely
affected by extreme climatic factors which combined with a range
of external market factors, created a unique adverse trading
outcome.

"AAco had faced 'a perfect storm' of external factors during the
year that led to an extremely poor result.  Droughts and flooding
led to serious cattle losses, significantly higher rates of calf
mortality and reduced herd weight gains," Mr. Farley said in a
statement.

"AAco also faced below average cattle prices during the year, and
the negative impact of the strong appreciation of the Australian
dollar."

"Despite those external pressures, the value of the Company's land
assets had held up well," Mr. Farley added.

Mr. Farley also said that since his appointment he had been
working with the board on a strategic review of the company.

"The review is progressing well, and we are developing a strategy
that will strengthen the business and best position AAco for a
profitable future," he said.

"We expect to provide details on the strategic review before the
Company holds its annual general meeting in May 2010," Mr. Farley
said.

Australian Agricultural Company Limited (ASX:AAC) --
http://www.aaco.com.au/--  is engaged in the business of
operation of grazing and farming properties; cattle breeding,
growing, feedlotting and trading, and wholesale marketing.  The
Company operates in two business segments: cattle and farming
operations, and wholesale beef.  The Company operates an
integrated cattle production system across 22 cattle stations
(plus two feedlots and three farms) located throughout Queensland
and the Northern Territory covering approximately 8.2 million
hectares.


AUSTRALIAN ZIRCON: To Close Mindarie Mine Next Week
---------------------------------------------------
More than 20 workers at a mineral sands mine, which is owned by
Australian Zircon NL, will lose their jobs as operations at the
site will end next week, ABC News reports.

ABC says the Australian Zircon mine located at Mindarie in the
east of South Australia has been in the hands of an administrator
since October when mining at the site was stopped.  The remaining
workers have been processing stockpiled ore.

But administrator Bryan Hughes said the operation was
unsustainable, ABC relates.

"That ongoing processing of the stockpile was always being
monitored and scrutinized closely and only to continue while it
was still profitable," Mr. Hughes told ABC.

"The rehabilitation work continues out at Mindarie and that will
continue until all the rehabilitation is finalised and that
obviously keeps the workforce out there to some extent."

In December, the administrator told The Advertiser six bidders had
been short-listed for the mothballed zircon mine, with final
offers due by mid-January.  There is no update on this process at
the moment, The Advertiser says.

According to The Advertiser, Australian Zircon's largest
shareholder, DCM Decometal had pumped in AU$6 million towards
priority payments such as employees' pay and banks repayments.
Talks were underway to get another AU$8 million through a deed of
company arrangement, The Advertiser notes.

                       About Australian Zircon

Australian Zircon NL (ASX:AZC) -- http://www.auzircon.com.au/
-- is engaged in construction and commissioning of its Mindarie
Zircon mine in the South Australian sector of the Murray Basin.
In addition, the company has continued exploration for zircon and
titanium minerals on its tenements in South Australia.  The
company has exploration regions in both Western Australia and New
South Wales.

In October 2009, Australian Zircon NL and its subsidiaries, Mallee
Minerals Separations Pty Ltd ACN 112 481 884, and Steiner Holdings
Pty Ltd ACN 009 461 223, appointed Bryan Hughes of Pitcher
Partners as Administrator pursuant to Section 436A of the
Corporations Act.


CENTRO PROPERTIES: ASIC Issues Stop Orders on Unsolicited Offers
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Securities & Investments Commission on February 5,
2010, issued final stop orders on unsolicited offers made by
Tankstream Funds Management Limited to investors in 16 unlisted
Centro MCS property syndicates.

The orders follow Tankstream making a series of unsolicited offers
for up to 50 per cent of the interests on issue in various Centro
MCS property syndicates in November 2009.  The Centro MSC
syndicates are registered managed investment schemes, with total
assets under management of approximately AU$1.5 billion as at
June 30, 2009.

In return for their interests in the Centro MCS syndicates,
investors were offered interests in the Pelorus Property Trust
(PPT), an unlisted scheme for which Tankstream is the responsible
entity.

In ASIC's view, Tankstream's offer documents and product
disclosure statement (PDS) relating to the PPT did not adequately
disclose information required under the Corporations Act (the
Act).  The documents did not appropriately identify Tankstream as
the offeror, or clearly explain the nature of a PPT investment.
They did not adequately explain Tankstream's basis for estimating
the fair value of interests in the relevant Centro MCS syndicate
or the value of interests in PPT.  Further, the PDS implied that
interests in PPT would be able to be traded on the Australian
Securities Exchange without complying with Corporations Act
requirements designed to ensure that listing is promptly achieved.

ASIC made interim stop orders on December 24, 2009, pending the
holding of a hearing on January 13, 2010.

The final stop orders protect the position of Centro MCS investors
by preventing Tankstream from making any further unsolicited
offers and from acting on any acceptances received to date.
Investors who accepted the offer are not required to take any
action.

However, they do not prevent Tankstream from making a future offer
to Centro MCS investors, so long as the offer documents and PDS
comply with the requirements of the Act.

They relate to offers made by Tankstream to investors in the
Centro MCS schemes numbered 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19NZI, 19 and 20.

Centro MCS is the direct property division of Centro Properties
Group and manages investments in 35 syndicates with a total value
of AU$3.2 billion in Australia and US$2.5 billion in the U.S.

                      About Centro Properties

Centro Properties Group (ASX:CNP)-- http://www.centro.com.au/--
is a retail investment organization specializing in the
ownership, management and development of retail shopping
centres.  Centro manages both listed and unlisted retail
property and has an extensive portfolio of shopping centres
across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.  Centro has
funds under management of US$24.9 billion.

                           *     *     *

Centro owes its creditors as much as AU$6.6 billion and its
deadline to repay these debts has been extended four times since
December 2007, when the company's market value plunged.

On Jan. 16, 2009, the TCR-AP reported that Centro Properties Group
obtained a three-year extension on its AU$3.9 billion of the
senior syndicated debt facility.  It also obtained extension of
the debt facilities within Super LLC (Centro's US joint venture
investment with Centro Retail Trust (CER) and CMCS 40).


CMC CAIRNS: 25 Associated Firms Placed In Liquidation
-----------------------------------------------------
The liquidator of CMC Cairns Pty Ltd said that 25 associated CMC
companies have also gone into liquidation, ABC News reports.

CMC Cairns Pty Ltd is a Queensland-based construction company.
The company went into voluntary administration in May, owing
between AU$17 million and AU$18 million to 400 unsecured
creditors.  It also owed nearly AU$98 million to its financiers.

The company was placed in liquidation in September after the
directors failed to sign a deed of company arrangement.

ABC News says liquidators SV Partners is investigating a range of
issues, including the relationships between the companies and
whether CMC Cairns traded while insolvent.

According to the report, liquidator David Stimpson said it is
likely all but one of the secured creditors will be paid out, but
it is unlikely unsecured creditors will see any returns.

Mr. Stimpson said it is possible more companies in the group will
go into liquidation, ABC relates.

CHAODA MODERN: Moody's Reviews 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has put Chaoda Modern Agriculture
(Holdings) Ltd's Ba3 corporate family on review for possible
upgrade.

"The rating action follows Chaoda's repayment of its
US$225 million guaranteed senior note, which matured on
February 8, 2010," says Wonnie Chu, a Moody's Analyst.

"Post-repayment, Chaoda is in a net cash position and its overall
credit profile -- including strong financial metrics and liquidity
profile, as well as a resilient business model -- are comparable
to higher rated peers in the region," adds Chu.

"The company also generated positive free cash flow in FY2009, and
has demonstrated a track record for managing the challenge of
large debt repayments in an uncertain credit environment, and
which is one of Moody's rating concerns.  It did this by raising
equity and reducing its discretionary capex to conserve cash for
debt repayments," says Mr. Chu.

In this review, Moody's will assess Chaoda's future business plan
and its financial policy for funding growth and for meeting its
medium-term funding needs.

Moody's last rating action with respect to Chaoda was taken on
June 18, 2009, when the company's corporate family and foreign
currency debt ratings were upgraded to Ba3 from B1 following the
completion of its share placement.

Chaoda's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors Moody's
believe are relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as
the company's i) business risk and competitive position compared
to others within the industry; ii) capital structure and financial
risk; iii) projected performance over the near to intermediate
term; and iv) management's track record and tolerance for risk.

These attributes were compared against other issuers both within
and outside of Chaoda's core industry; Chaoda's ratings are
believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of similar
credit risk.

Chaoda Modern Agriculture (Holdings) Ltd is a vertically-
integrated agricultural company.  It mainly produces and
distributes fruit and vegetables in China and is also involved in
livestock breeding and sales.


NEW ORIENTAL: Posts US$3.17-Mil. Net Loss in September 30 Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. and subsidiaries reported a
net loss of US$3,173,415 for the three months ended September 30,
2009, an increase of US$2,582,969, or 437.46%, as compared to a
net loss of US$590,446 for the three months ended September 30,
2008.

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009, were
US$7,553,115, which represented a decrease of 47.04% from the same
period in the prior year.

The Company reported a net loss of US$6,324,929 for the six months
ended September 30, 2009, compared to net income of US$246,123 for
the six months ended September 30, 2008.

Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2009, were
US$15,937,433, which represented a decrease of 47.07% from the
same period in the prior year.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed total assets of US$61,286,830, total liabilities of
US$53,585,749, and total stockholders' equity of US$7,701,081.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2009,
also showed strained liquidity with US$11,889,784 in total current
assets available to pay US$49,405,854 in total current
liabilities.

A full-text copy of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q is
available at no charge at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?5149

                          Going Concern

The Company had a net loss of US$6,324,929 for the six months
ended September 30, 2009, and has a working capital deficit of
US$37,516,070 at September 30, 2009.

The Company will need to obtain additional financing to continue
operations beyond 2009.  Its primary source of capital is cash
generated from operations as well as through loans.  If the
Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it will not be
able to sustain its operations and would likely be required to
cease its operations.

"These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern."

Management recognizes that the Company's continuation as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash
flow to allow the Company to continue the development of its
business plans and satisfy its current and long-term obligations
on a timely basis.  The Company believes that it will be able to
complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash
requirements for the next twelve months.

The major shareholder has committed to provide financial
assistance of RMB50 to RMB80 million (approximately US$7.3 million
to US$11.7 million) over the next few years, if necessary.

On October 23, 2009, the Company obtained a short-term bank loan
for RMB3.9 million (approximately US$570,000 with an interest rate
of 10.62% per annum from Rural Credit Cooperatives, which is due
on October 15, 2010.  The Company's construction in progress is
pledged as collateral for the short-term bank loan.

SEMICONDUCTOR MFG: Fourth Qtr Loss Widens to US$299.7 Million
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that Semiconductor Manufacturing
International Corp. posted its eighth straight quarterly loss
after charging US$299.7 million to cover a litigation settlement
with competitor Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

Citing SMIC's statement to Hong Kong's stock exchange, Bloomberg
discloses that the company's net loss widened to US$482.3 million,
or 0.02 cents a share, from US$139.5 million, or 0.01 cents, a
year earlier.  Fourth quarter sales rose 22% to US$333.1 million
from a year earlier and were 3% higher than in the previous three
months, Bloomberg relates.

According to Bloomberg, the Chinese company, whose shares have
gained 76% since David Wang replaced founder Richard Chang as
Chief Executive Officer in November, said it is in talks to sell a
stake to a prospective investor.

Mr. Wang said, "2010 looks to be a good year for the semiconductor
industry.  We believe it will also be an important step on our
journey toward sustained profitability."

"Overall, revenue growth was in-line with expectations for fourth
quarter of 2009, and the percentage of gross margin increased 10
fold over the previous quarter. This was due to an increase in our
average selling price per wafer, total wafer shipments, and
factory utilization," Mr. Wang added.

Bloomberg says the company forecasted revenue in the current
quarter to range from flat to a 2% increase.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reports that Semiconductor Manufacturing
also announced the appointment of Gary Tseng, former chief
financial officer of Taiwan Semiconductor, as chief financial
officer.  Simon Yang, former chief technology officer of Chartered
Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd., was named as chief operating
officer and Chris Chi as chief business officer.

ACG HOSPITALITY: CRISIL Rates INR200 Mil. Term Loan 'B-'
--------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has reaffirmed its rating of 'B-/Negative' on ACG
Hospitality Pvt Ltd's term loan facility.

   Facilities                    Ratings
   ----------                    -------
   INR200 Million Term Loan*     B-/Negative (Reaffirmed)

   *Term loan has been availed from State Bank of India

The rating reflects ACGHPL's weak financial risk profile and
exposure to risks relating to cyclicality in the hotel industry.
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits that
ACGHPL derives from the near-completion status of its three-star
hotel project, Signature Grand, and its promoters' experience in
the hospitality businesses.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has treated the unsecured
loans of INR151.3 million that ACGHPL received from its promoters
as equity, as the promoters have provided an undertaking stating
that they will convert these loans into equity by April 2010;
these unsecured loans, apart from being interest free, are also
subordinated to bank loans, as an undertaking of non-withdrawal of
unsecured loans whilst ACGHPL has access to bank lines has been
provided to the banker-State Bank of India.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes that ACGHPL's revenues and profitability will come
under stress in the short term because of lower occupancy rates in
the initial period of operation.  CRISIL has also taken into
account the undertaking from the management to infuse further
funds into the company to bridge any shortfall in debt
obligations.  The rating may be downgraded if there are further
time and cost overruns on its ongoing hotel project or if ACGHPL
is unable to meet its maturing debt obligations on time.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Stable' if ACGHPL
achieves better than expected cash flows resulting in improved
debt protection measures, or if the management infuses additional
funds into the company, thus relieving the expected liquidity
crunch.

                       About ACG Hospitality

ACG Hospitality Pvt Ltd's, incorporated in 2007, is constructing a
three-star hotel to be named Signature Grand in western Delhi, at
a total project cost of around INR420 million. The 7-floor, 40-
room hotel, with a restaurant and 3 banquet halls, is expected to
commence operations by the end of February 2010.


ADINATH RE-ROLLING: ICRA Assigns 'LBB+' Rating on Bank Limits
-------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned an 'LBB+' rating to the INR300 million bank
limits (INR200 million cash credit facility and INR100 million
term loan) of Adinath Re-rolling Private Limited.  The outlook on
the long term rating is stable.

The assigned rating factors in the low value-addition in ARPL's
operations leading to low operating profitability in the business;
the limited ability of the company to pass on price fluctuations
to its customers and risks associated with the ongoing steel
project, which is further accentuated by the lack of a track
record  of ARPL in running steel-making operations,
notwithstanding the experience of a group company in production of
steel products.  The rating however favorably considers the long
experience and established position of the promoters in the
business of trading steel long products, a conservative capital
structure and a diversified and stable client base that mitigates
offtake risk for the company's project to an extent. ICRA also
draws comfort from the financial closure achieved for the steel
project.


AIR INDIA: Mulls Shifting Focus on Domestic Routes
--------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that National Aviation Company of India
Ltd (NACIL), Air India's holding company, has discussed with
Boeing the possibility of converting remaining longhaul and twin-
aisle Boeing-777s into 737s that can be used on Indian Airline
routes.

"AI's long-haul routes will not help reviv[e] the airline because
of their losses.  For survival, we have to look at IA kind of
model.  NACIL is joining Star Alliance and international routes
can be served by alliance partners, with AI operating on some less
loss-making or profitable routes,? the report quoted a source as
saying.

According to the report, a Boeing official said AI had ordered 23
B-777s, as part of the purchase plan.  Of which 17 B-777 s have
been already given and three more will be sent this year. "AI has
talked about deferring deliveries or substituting the remaining
three B-777 s into other smaller aircraft.  The airline is yet to
get back with a final word,? ET's sources said.

The reports states that NACIL has to work out a fresh proposal at
the earliest after the Group of Ministers (GoM) rejected the
company's previous revival plans.  AI needs almost INR3,000 crore
for paying interests on loans annually.

A senior official at AI told ET that "In the last GoM, airline
showed its accumulated losses could be to the tune of INR20,000
crore by 2013.  Annual interest on working capital loan is
INR2,000 crore and INR660 crore is the interest on aircraft loans.
So, interest amount alone is INR2,660 crore annually.  As of now,
there's no light at the end of this tunnel.?

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
June 10, 2009, the National Aviation Company of India Ltd was
seeking INR14,000 crore in equity infusion, soft loans and grants
to cope up with mounting losses.

The TCR-AP, citing the Hindustan Times, reported on June 19, 2009,
that Air India has been bleeding due to excess capacity, lower
yield, a drop in passenger numbers, an increase in fuel prices and
the effects of the global slowdown.  Air India's losses have
almost doubled to over INR4,000 crore in 2008-09 compared to
INR2,226 crore in 2007-08), according to the Hindustan Times.

In December, the Air India board decided to initiate a series of
major steps to cut costs and enhance savings.  The carrier is
focusing on cutting costs by INR1,500 crore and increasing
revenues by INR1,200 crore as per its turnaround plan, according
to the Business Standard.

The airline's turnaround plan has been broadly divided into 0-9
months, 9-18 months and 18-36 months, and has been segregated
under operational efficiency, product improvement, organization
building and financial restructuring, the Business Standard said.

DCM LIMITED: ICRA Reaffirms 'LD' Rating on Convertible Debenture
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has reaffirmed 'LD' rating assigned to the INR2,168.1 million

meeting its interest and principal obligations to banks, financial

JET AIRWAYS: In Talks with FedEx Over Partnership
-------------------------------------------------
Jet Airways (India) Ltd is in initial discussions with FedEx Corp.
for a dedicated cargo airline that it wishes to set up either as a
joint venture or in alliance with the multinational logistics
firm, livemint.com reports citing an independent consultant as
well as two executives of the airline familiar with the
development.

The report relates that a senior executive at Jet Airways who
didn't want to be identified because he is not one of the
airline's authorized spokespersons, confirmed that the two
companies were in talks but added that it was premature to speak
of details.

The second Jet Airways executive, who too did not want to be
identified, said FedEx was a logical choice as a partner,
livemint.com notes.

"Jet Airways is looking at serving domestic and international
destinations. So it would be ideal to have a partner with a global
reach,? the second executive told livemint.com.

According to the report, Jet Airways, promoted by non-resident
Indian Naresh Goyal, had originally planned to launch a cargo
airline in partnership with Deutsche Lufthansa AG, but the global
economic slowdown put paid to these plans.

The revival of Jet Airway's cargo plans, livemint.com says, comes
a few days after Kingfisher Airlines Ltd launched a new door-to-
door express cargo delivery service, Kingfisher Xpress, on
February 2.

Jet Airways (India) Ltd (BOM:532617) -- http://www.jetairways.com/
-- provides air transportation.  The geographic segments of the
company are domestic and international.  The company has a
frequent flyer program named Jet Privilege wherein the passengers
who uses the services of the airline become services of the
airline become members of Jet Privilege and accumulates miles to
their credit.  The company's subsidiaries include Jet Lite (India)
Limited, Jetair Private Limited, Jet Airways LLC, Trans
Continental e Services Private Limited, Jet Enterprises Private
Limited, Jet Airways of India Inc., India Jetairways Pty Limited
and Jet Airways Europe Services N.V.  On April 20, 2007, the
company acquired Sahara Airlines Limited.

                           *     *     *

Jet Airways posted a consolidated net loss of INR9614.10 million
for the year ended March 31, 2009, compared with consolidated net
loss of INR6538.70 million for the year ended March 31, 2008.
Consolidated total sales increased from INR109907.20 million for
the year ended March 31, 2008 to INR134488.60 million for the year
ended March 31, 2009.


JET AIRWAYS: Passenger Traffic Up for Fourth Consecutive Month
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jet Airways (India) Ltd. announced a fourth consecutive month of
growth for January 2010.

Jet Airways comprehensively improved on its impressive performance
in December 2009, reporting a 30% surge in international passenger
traffic for January 2010 vis-a-vis the same period last year.
Domestic passenger traffic in January 2010 also registered a 26%
increase, as compared to the same period last year.

The airlines' average seat factor for its international operations
for January 2010 also stood at an impressive 84.9%, reflecting a
growing passenger demand for the airline's award-winning
international product.

JetLite, Jet Airways' all-economy subsidiary, similarly posted a
12.8% growth in passenger traffic on a seat factor of 75% in
January 2010.

The robust growth figures have been registered despite disruption
in flight schedules over North India due to inclement weather and
the fog in Delhi during the month of January 2010.

"Four consecutive months of growth reaffirms the fact that Jet
Airways is set to further consolidate its leadership position in
Indian skies," Jet Airways Chief Executive Officer Nikos Kardassis
said.

As part of the company's strategic expansion program, the airline
has introduced new routes for its guests on the international and
domestic sector.  Enhanced connectivity on the Delhi?Doha sector,
coupled with an all new Boeing 737-700 JetLite service on the
Kolkata?Agartala?Kolkata sector will offer guests enhanced
seamless connectivity to several destinations across India, as
well as to the Gulf and ASEAN regions.


JOHARILAL AGARWALA: CRISIL Puts 'BB+' Rating on Cash Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB+/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Joharilal Agarwala Sales Pvt Ltd, which is part of
the Joharilal group.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR160.00 Million Cash Credit      BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR50.00 Million Bank Guarantee    P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect the Joharilal group's weak financial risk
profile, marked by high gearing, weak debt protection measures,
and large working capital requirements. These rating weaknesses
are partially offset by the benefits that the group derives from
its promoters experience in the packaging industry and the group's
moderate business risk profile.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of JASPL, Abhinandan Interexim Pvt Ltd
(AIPL), and Sri Balmukund Polyplast Pvt Ltd.  This is because the
companies, together referred to as the Joharilal group, are under
a common management, operate in similar lines of business, and
have significant operational and financial linkages.

CRISIL has treated unsecured loans of INR66 million in 2008-09
(refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31) as neither debt
nor equity, as the same cannot be withdrawn from the business
without the permission of the bankers.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that the Joharilal group will maintain its market
position over the medium term, backed by its established clientele
and promoters' experience.  The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' if the group scales up its operations and its operating
margins improve significantly.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if the group's revenues decline sharply, or
it undertakes any large debt-funded capital expenditure program,
weakening its financial risk profile further.

                          About the Group

Set up in 1982 by Mr. Joharilal Agarwala, JASPL (formerly
Joharilal Agarwala Sales) converted into private limited company
in 2002.  The company started as a distributor of Indian
Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd (IPCL) and became Reliance
Industries Ltd's (RIL's) distributor in 2002.  The company is sole
distributor for RIL's plastic granules in Bihar and Jharkhand. Mr.
Ajay Kumar Agarwala joined JASPL in 1990 and has been managing the
company ever since.

Set up in 1993 in Kolkata (West Bengal), AIPL was non-operational
till 2006. It commenced operations after it acquired Arihant
Polyfilm in 2006.  The company manufactures multi-layer polythene
films and currently has a capacity of 180 tonnes per month. These
are used in packing of milk and milk products, and edible oils.

SBPPL, set up in June 2004, was acquired by the Agarwal family in
2005. The company manufactures polypropylene (PP) and high density
polyethylene (HPDE) woven bags and sheets with or without
lamination. Its plant in Howrah (West Bengal) has a capacity of
7500 tonnes per annum.

JASPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR6 million on an
operating income of INR40 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR3 million on an
operating income of INR47 million for 2007-08.

The Joharilal group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR15
million on operating income of INR876 million for 2008-09, against
a PAT of INR9 million on operating income of INR744 million for
2007-08.


METCUT TOOLINGS: CRISIL Reaffirms 'BB+' Rating on Term Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on Metcut Toolings Pvt Ltd's bank facilities
continues to reflect MTPL's below-average financial risk profile
marked by small net worth and moderate debt protection measures,
small scale of operations, and exposure to risks related to
intense competition. These weaknesses are partially offset by
MTPL's healthy operating efficiencies and diversified end-user
industry base.

   Facilities                      Ratings
   ----------                      -------
   INR35.5 Million Cash Credit     BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR62.0 Million Term Loan*      BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)

  *Includes a proposed limit of INR21.5 million.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that MTPL will maintain its business and financial
risk profiles over the medium term on the back of healthy
profitability and its established customer base.  The outlook may
be revised to 'Positive' if the company registers higher-than-
expected revenue growth and significantly increases its net worth.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if MTPL's
revenues or profitability decline steeply, leading to
deterioration in its financial risk profile.

Incorporated in 1989, Metcut Toolings Pvt Ltd manufactures
carbide-cutting tools used mainly in the automotive industry.  The
company deals in both standard and customized tools, and provides
complete cutting solutions.  Its plant in Dharwad (Karnataka) has
capacity to manufacture 50,000 components per annum. The company
also undertakes servicing of tools on job work basis.

MTPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR1 million on net
sales of INR94 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR6.6 million on net sales
of INR102 million for 2007-08.


MADHYA PRADESH: CRISIL Rates INR140MM Cash Credit at 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB+/Stable' rating to Madhya Pradesh Agro
Food Industries Ltd's cash credit facility.

   Facilities                      Ratings
   ----------                      -------
   INR140.0 Million Cash Credit    BB+/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects MP Agro's moderately weak financial risk
profile marked by low networth, high gearing despite moderate debt
protection measures, the high customer concentration in its
revenue profile, its susceptibility to fluctuations in raw
material prices, and its highly working-capital-intensive
operations.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
benefits that MP Agro derives from its promoters' experience in
the agricultural commodities and weaning foods business.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that MP Agro's scale of operations will remain
moderate and profitability will remain vulnerable to raw material
price fluctuations.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if
the company's capital structure improves substantially.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the
company's expected order book declines, or if sharp increases in
food grain prices or changes in state government policy adversely
affect the company's revenues and profitability.

                       About Madhya Pradesh

Incorporated in 2004 with an equity participation of 11% from the
Government of Madhya Pradesh (MP), MP Agro commenced operations in
2006-07 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31).  The
company manufactures ready-to-eat weaning foods/nutritional
supplements for sale to the Government of MP's nodal agency, MP
State Industrial Development Corporation (MPSIDC).  These items
are distributed through the government's health department to
below-poverty-line families in rural areas. MP Agro has a unit in
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) with a capacity of around 84,000 tonnes
per annum (tpa).  Until 2008-09, the company derived 50% of its
revenues from trading in grains. This business was discontinued in
2009-10 following increase in off-take by MPSIDC.

MP Agro reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR15 million on net
sales of INR782.7 million for 2008-09, against a PAT of INR3.4
million on net sales of INR201.6 million for 2007-08.


MIDAS GOLDEN: CRISIL Assigns 'BB' Rating on INR5.2MM LT Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'BB/Negative' to the long-term
bank facilities of Midas Golden Distilleries Pvt Ltd.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR5.20 Million Long-Term Loan   BB/Negative (Assigned)
   INR150.0 Million Cash Credit     BB/Negative (Assigned)

The rating reflects Midas's exposure to regulatory risks in the
Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) industry, below-average
profitability because of under-utilization of capacity, and sub-
par financial risk profile because of provisioning for income-tax
(IT) and legal disputes.  These rating weaknesses are partially
offset by the healthy demand prospects for IMFL in Tamil Nadu, and
Midas's established relationships with leading IMFL companies for
key brands supplied to The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation
Ltd.

Outlook: Negative

Despite the healthy demand for IMFL in Tamil Nadu, CRISIL believes
that Midas will register only moderate business growth over the
medium term, because of intensifying competition and regulatory
risks.  The company's financial risk profile is expected to
register only a modest improvement, in line with the moderate
increase in sales volumes, over the medium term.  The 'Negative'
outlook also factors in the likely adverse impact on Midas's
financial risk profile of any adverse ruling in its ongoing legal
disputes.  The rating may be downgraded in case of a steep decline
in the company's sales volumes, including because of regulatory
reasons, or in case of an adverse outcome in the pending disputes.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Stable' in the event of
a favorable decision in the disputed cases.

                        About Midas Golden

Incorporated in 2002, the Chennai-based Midas is an Midas Golden
Distilleries Pvt Ltd bottling and manufacturing company with
installed capacity of 97.2 million litres per annum (11 million
cases). In 2008-09 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March
31), the company sold 3.77 million cases, and as on March 31,
2009, had a market share of around 11% in the 35-million cases
IMFL market in Tamil Nadu.

For 2008-09, Midas reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR73
million on net sales of INR1.9 billion, against a net loss of
INR399 million on net sales of INR1.3 billion for 2007-08.  The
net loss in 2007-08 was largely because of provision of INR406
million for tax disputes, and the PAT in 2008-09 is after
considering a write-back of tax provision of INR82 million because
of a favorable ruling. For the nine months ended December 31,
2009, the company reported net sales of INR1.2 billion.


MURLIWALA AGROTECH: CRISIL Assigns 'BB-' Rating on Cash Credit
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to Murliwala
Agrotech Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR110.0 Million Cash Credit     BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR30.0 Million Bank Guarantee   P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect Murliwala's weak financial risk profile marked
by low net worth, moderately high gearing, and weak debt
protection measures, the customer concentration in its revenue
profile, its susceptibility to fluctuations in raw material
prices, and its working-capital-intensive operations. These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits that Murliwala
derives from its promoters' experience in the agricultural
commodities and weaning foods business.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Murliwala's scale of operations will remain
small and profitability will remain vulnerable to raw material
price fluctuations, and that its financial risk profile will
remain weak expected high gearing.  The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' if the company's financial risk profile and liquidity
improve substantially, or if the company scales up its operations
considerably, led by successful bids for contracts after March
2010. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the
company receives fewer orders than expected, or if a sharp
increase in food grain prices impacts its revenues and
profitability, or if its receivables are stretched.

                     About Murliwala Agrotech

Incorporated in 1996, Murliwala Agrotech Pvt Ltd manufactures
ready-to-eat weaning foods and nutritional supplements for sale to
Rajasthan and Gujarat state government departments, under the
Integrated Child Development Services program.  These items are
for free distribution to below-poverty-line families in rural
India. Murliwala has a manufacturing unit in Udaipur (Rajasthan),
with a capacity of around 54,270 tonnes per annum. Murliwala also
exports a small proportion of baby food supplements to Africa,
through the United Nations International Children's Emergency
Fund.

Murliwala reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR7 million on net
sales of INR438.2 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR3.3 million on net sales
of INR451.8 million for 2007-08.


NAVA BHARAT: CRISIL Reaffirms 'BB' Rating on INR9.5BB Term Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the term loan facility of Nava Bharat Energy
India Ltd continue to reflect NBEIL's exposure to implementation-
related risks in its ongoing projects, and its below-average
financial risk profile.  These rating weaknesses are partially
offset by NBEIL's good growth prospects, backed by robust demand
for power.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR9500 Million Term Loan *      BB/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   * Proposed facility

For arriving at its rating, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of NBEIL and Nava Bharat Projects Ltd
(NBPL). This is because NBEIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of
NBPL, which is a holding company for all the power projects
undertaken by the Nava Bharat group.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that NBEIL will continue to face significant
implementation-related risks in its ongoing projects. The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if the projects are funded prudently
and implemented on schedule. Conversely, inability to tie up funds
for the projects, or larger-than-expected additional debt-funded
capital expenditure, leading to deterioration in the company's
financial risk profile, may result in an outlook revision to
'Negative'.

                          About Nava Bharat

Nava Bharat Energy India Ltd is a special purpose vehicle (SPV)
promoted by Nava Bharat Ventures Ltd, which is in the business of
ferro alloys, power, and sugar. NBPL is the holding company for
all the power projects undertaken by the Nava Bharat group.  NBPL
owns 50% of Nava Bharat Power Pvt Ltd, an SPV formed with the
Malaxmi group to undertake a 2250-megawatt (MW) greenfield power
project in Orissa.  NBEIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of NBPL.

NBEIL is currently setting up two greenfield thermal power plants,
with a combined capacity of 300 MW, in Andhra Pradesh at a total
cost of INR13.9 billion.


PALIWAL INFRASTRUCTURE: CRISIL Assigns 'D' Ratings on Term Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'D' to Paliwal Infrastructure
Pvt Ltd's term loan facility.  The rating reflect delay by PIPL in
repayment of its term loan obligations, owing to weak liquidity

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR1070.0 Million Term Loan      D (Assigned)

Paliwal Infrastructure Pvt Ltd was incorporated in 2000 by the
promoters of the Ludhiana-based Paliwal group.  The company bought
a commercial property, RMZ Futura, in Hyderabad, from RMZ Corp in
2005, and has leased out the property to several tenants,
including entities in the Deloitte group.  PIPL acquired the
property for INR2.15 billion, funded through bank debt of INR1.45
billion, lease deposits of INR250 million, and through the
promoters' own funds.  RMZ Futura, an approved software technology
park (STP), has over 0.38 million square feet of leaseable area,
generating rental income of about INR320 million per annum.

PIPL reported a net loss of INR118.3 million on net operating
income of INR313 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), as against a profit after tax (PAT) of
INR92.6 million on net operating income of INR301 million for
2007-08.


PERFECT RETREADS: CRISIL Places 'LBB+' Rating on Cash Credit
------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned an 'LBB+' rating to the INR120 million cash
credit facility of Private Limited.  The outlook on the long term
rating is stable.

The assigned ratings take into account PRPL's thin operating
margins and high working capital intensity both of which are
inherent to the automotive dealership business and stretched
capital structure of the company.  PRPL's capital structure is
stretched with high gearing (2.27 times, FY09); with most of the
debt (-87%, FY09) being related to working capital borrowing.
ICRA also notes that PRPL's sales have declined sharply in FY09
and it has underperformed as compared to its principals (TML, MSIL
and HHML) across each dealership segment (CV, PV and 2W).

The ratings, nevertheless, recognize the promoters experience in
the dealership business and the diversified revenue mix across two
wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicle dealership,
each from different OEM.  ICRA also draws comfort from the PRPL's
strong credential as the sole commercial vehicle dealer of TML in
the six districts of Saurashtra and amongst leading dealers of
MSIL passenger vehicles and HHML motorcycles in Saurashtra region.

PRPL was started as a tyre retreading company in 1988 by its main
promoter Mr Suryakant Patel.  The company then ventured into the
auto services business by launching the first computerized wheel
alignment and wheel balancing services for cars and LCVs in the

PRAMOD TELECOM: CRISIL Assigns 'B' Rating on INR19.7MM Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Stable/P4' ratings to Pramod Telecom
Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                           Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR90.0 Million Cash Credit Limit     B/Stable (Assigned)
   INR19.7 Million Term Loan             B/Stable (Assigned)
   INR25.0 Million Letter of Credit      P4 (Assigned)
   INR65.0 Million Bank Guarantee        P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect PTPL's weak financial risk profile, large
working capital requirements, and exposure to risks relating to
customer concentration in its revenue profile and limited pricing
flexibility.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by
PTPL's established track record in the wireline telecom equipment
industry.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that PTPL will benefit from established
relationships with customers such as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd
(BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd over the medium term.
However, PTPL's financial risk profile will remain constrained by
high gearing and weak debt protection measures.  The outlook may
be revised to 'Positive' if PTPL's capital structure improves,
backed by fresh equity infusion or if the company improves its
debt protection measures and revenue diversity. Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case the company's
profitability is adversely affected by fluctuations in raw
material prices or large debt-funded capital expenditure, further
deteriorating its weak financial risk profile.

                        About Pramod Telecom

Pramod Telecom Pvt Ltd, set up in 2000 as a partnership firm by
Mr. Praveen Chandra, was converted into a private limited company
in 2001. It manufactures telecom equipment such as electronic push
button telephones, caller ID phones, energy efficient products,
and solar modules and products. The company has capacity to
manufacture 2.4 million instruments per annum at its facility in
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), which is operating at a utilization level
of about 80%.

PTPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR5.1 million on net
sales of INR440 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31) against a PAT of INR5.6 million on net sales
of INR179 million for 2007-08.


RAI SAHEB: CRISIL Assigns 'B' Ratings on Various Bank Debts
-----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'B/Stable/P4' to the bank
facilities of The Rai Saheb Rekhchand Mohata Spinning & Weaving
Mills Ltd.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR820.9 Million Term Loan       B/Stable (Assigned)
   INR245 Million Cash Credit       B/Stable (Assigned)
                   Limit*
   INR55 Million Standby Line       B/Stable (Assigned)
                  of Credit
   INR50 Million Short Term Loan    P4 (Assigned)
   INR50 Million Letter of Credit   P4 (Assigned)
   INR10 Million Bank Guarantee     P4 (Assigned)

   *includes sub limit of INR145 million EPC/BD/EBD

The ratings reflect RSR's low profitability and weak financial
risk profile, marked by a high gearing because of debt funding of
its large working capital requirements and capital expenditure.
These weaknesses are mitigated by the extensive industry
experience of RSR's promoters, and its long-standing customer
relationships.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that RSR's financial risk profile will continue to
be weak, owing to its high gearing level.  The outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' in case of lower-than-expected improvement
in RSR's profitability, or if the company undertakes large debt-
funded capex programs, resulting in increased gearing. Conversely,
the outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of significant
and sustained improvement in RSR's margins and financial risk
profile.

                          About Rai Saheb

Incorporated in 1898, RSR manufactures cotton, polyester, and
viscose yarn and fabric. The company has two manufacturing units,
both in Hinganghat (Maharashtra).  For 2008-09 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), RSR reported a net loss of
INR37 million on total revenues of INR1.476 billion, against a net
loss of INR18 million on total revenues of INR1.548 billion for
the previous year. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009,
the company reported a net loss of INR29 million on net sales of
INR1.268 billion.


SRI BALMUKUND: CRISIL Places 'BB+' Rating on INR63MM Term Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB+/Stable/P4+' ratings to the bank
facilities of Sri Balmukund Polyplast Pvt Ltd, which is part of
the Joharilal group.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR140.00 Million Cash Credit*        BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR27.00 Million Standby Line         BB+/Stable (Assigned)
                     of Credit
   INR63.00 Million Term Loan            BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR25.00 Million Letter of Credit*    BB+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR17.70 Million Bank Guarantee       P4+ (Assigned)

  * Cash Credit and Letter of Credit are 100% interchangeable.

The ratings reflect the Joharilal group's weak financial risk
profile, marked by high gearing, weak debt protection measures,
and large working capital requirements.  These rating weaknesses
are partially offset by the benefits that the group derives from
its promoters experience in the packaging industry and the group's
moderate business risk profile.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of SBPPL, Joharilal Agarwala Sales Pvt Ltd
(JASPL), and Abhinandan Interexim Pvt Ltd.  This is because the
companies, together referred to as the Joharilal group, are under
a common management, operate in similar lines of business, and
have significant operational and financial linkages.

CRISIL has treated unsecured loans of INR66 million in 2008-09
(refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31) as neither debt
nor equity, as the same cannot be withdrawn from the business
without the permission of the bankers.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that the Joharilal group will maintain its market
position over the medium term, backed by its established clientele
and promoters' experience. The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' if the group scales up its operations and its operating
margins improve significantly. Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if the group's revenues decline sharply, or
it undertakes any large debt-funded capital expenditure program,
weakening its financial risk profile further.

                          About the Group

SBPPL, set up in June 2004, was acquired by the Agarwal family in
2005. The company manufactures polypropylene (PP) and high density
polyethylene (HPDE) woven bags and sheets with or without
lamination.  Its plant in Howrah (West Bengal) has a capacity of
7500 tonnes per annum.

Set up in 1982 by Mr. Joharilal Agarwala, JASPL (formerly
Joharilal Agarwala Sales) converted into private limited company
in 2002.  The company started as a distributor of Indian
Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd and became Reliance Industries
Ltd's distributor in 2002.  The company is sole distributor for
RIL's plastic granules in Bihar and Jharkhand.  Mr. Ajay Kumar
Agarwala joined JASPL in 1990 and has been managing the company

VISHAKHA IRRIGATION: CRISIL Puts 'BB-' Rating on Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4' ratings to Vishakha
Irrigation Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR100.0 Million Cash Credit Limit    BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR37.5 Million Term Loan             BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR30.0 Million Letter of Credit      P4 (Assigned)
   INR20.5 Million Bank Guarantee        P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect VIPL's weak financial risk profile marked by
high gearing and weak debt protection measures, and its exposure
to risks relating to start-up phase of operations, large working
capital requirements, and adverse changes in regulations in the
micro-irrigation systems industry. These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by VIPL's improving market position, and
increasing revenue visibility because the company recently
received certifications and approvals from six state governments
for selling its products.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that VIPL will increase its sales over the medium
term, given the recently obtained approvals and certifications.
The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the sales are higher
than expected, and if there is a significant improvement in the
company's profitability, thereby strengthening its debt protection
measures.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if
VIPL faces delays in receiving payments from the state
governments, or undertakes a large debt-funded capital expenditure
program, leading to deterioration in its capital structure.

                     About Vishakha Irrigation

Incorporated in March 2008, Vishakha Irrigation Pvt Ltd is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Vishakha Industries, a 50:50 joint
venture between the Doshi family and Adani Agro Pvt Ltd.

JLOC XXX: S&P Puts Ratings on Certs. on CreditWatch Negative
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on JLOC XXX
Trust Certificates' classes B to D floating-rate trust
certificates and JLOC XXX Satellite Trust's classes Mezz C-1 and
Mezz C-2 mezzanine trust certificates on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its
ratings on JLOC XXX Trust Certificates' classes A and X.

The CreditWatch placements are based on these factors:

(1) Although the asset manager is proceeding with the liquidation
    of the real estate properties backing one of the transaction's
    two remaining specified bonds (property-liquidation type; one
    specified bond representing about 35.7% of the total initial
    issuance amount of the floating-rate trust certificates and
    the Satellite Trust mezzanine trust certificates that are due
    to mature in December 2010), the sales of the properties have
    fallen behind schedule.  In light of recent real estate market
    conditions, uncertainty appears to be mounting over the prices
    at which the properties are likely to be liquidated.

(2) With regard to the other remaining specified bond (one
    specified bond representing about 15.1% of the total initial
    issuance amount of the floating-rate trust certificates and
    the Satellite Trust mezzanine trust certificates that are due
    to mature in November 2011), there appears to be uncertainty
    over the recovery prospects of the related collateral
    properties, based on the possibility that the specified bond
    may not be redeemed on the maturity date and the properties
    may need to be liquidated.

The loan-to-value ratio has improved because a principal amount
equivalent to about 66.6% of the total initial issuance amount of
the floating-rate trust certificates and the Satellite Trust
mezzanine trust certificates has already been redeemed, indicating
that principal redemption of the upper tranches is proceeding.
Accordingly, S&P is affirming its 'AAA' rating on the class A
floating-rate trust certificates.

S&P intends to review the ratings on the five tranches that S&P
placed on CreditWatch negative after considering a number of
factors, including the asset manager's property sales plan and the
recovery prospects of the properties backing the aforementioned
two specified bonds.

Although S&P affirmed its rating on class X, S&P is considering
amending the rating methodology for interest-only certificates,
which include class X of this transaction.  If the proposal is
adopted, it could affect the rating on class X.

JLOC XXX Trust Certificates and JLOC XXX Satellite Trust form a
two-tier transaction that is Japan's largest-ever CMBS
transaction.  The floating-rate trust certificates and the
Satellite Trust mezzanine trust certificates were initially
secured by a total of six specified bonds, which were originally
backed by 126 real estate properties.  The transaction was
arranged by Morgan Stanley Japan Securities Co. Ltd., and ORIX
Asset Management & Loan Services Corp. acts as the servicer for
this transaction.

The ratings address the full and timely payment of interest and
the ultimate repayment of principal by JLOC XXX Trust
Certificates' legal final maturity date in 2014 for the class A
floating-rate trust certificates; the full payment of interest and
ultimate repayment of principal by the legal final maturity date
for the class B to D floating-rate trust certificates; and the
timely payment of available interest for the interest-only class X
floating-rate trust certificates.  The ratings also address the
ultimate repayment of principal and the full payment of interest
by the legal final maturity date in 2014 for the class Mezz C-1
and Mezz C-2 Satellite Trust mezzanine trust certificates.

potential local buyer came to nothing, The New Zealand Herald
reports.

The Herald relates receiver Chris Cowan of McGrath Nicol in Sydney
said the party they had been in exclusive negotiations with since
August had now withdrawn.

"We have had some further approaches from parties so we may look
to go into another programme of sale," the report quoted Mr. Cowan
as saying.

According to the Herald, the receivers of ABC have been trying to
sell the Kiwi subsidiary since the Australian parent collapsed in
late 2008 owing AU$1.6 billion.

However, the report notes, the 127 New Zealand childcare centres
and College of Early Childhood Education were never in
receivership.  The New Zealand arm remained a good business with
annual profits up 30%, the report notes.

Mr. Cowan said the Australian and New Zealand sale processes had
been handled separately, with the Australian buyer not interested
in operations on this side of the Tasman, according to the Herald.

A total of NZ$3.425 million one-off expenses and write offs were

      all the goodwill associated with Insite Technology.

move to September 30 to improve the company's ability to forecast
earnings in an environment where the December quarter is

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.
