E2E MANAGEMENT: In Liquidation; Ferrier Hodgson Appointed
---------------------------------------------------------
Morgan Kelly and John Melluish of Ferrier Hodgson were appointed
Voluntary Liquidators of E2E Management Pty Limited on February 5,
2010.

The Liquidators are presently assessing the merits of a legal
action available to the company and debtor collections.

A creditors' meeting will be held on February 22, 2010, at
10:00 a.m. at the office of Ferrier Hodgson, Level 13, 225 George
Street, Sydney NSW 2000, in Australia.

E2E Management Pty Limited is a privately owned print management
company based in Australia.


LUXE STUDIOS: Ferrier Hodgson Takes Over Receiver Role
------------------------------------------------------
Morgan Kelly and John Melluish of Ferrier Hodgson on January 8,
2010, were appointed as Receivers and Managers of Luxe Studios Pty
Limited and 279-283 Liverpool Street, East Sydney, pursuant to the
provisions contained in a registered debenture charge created by
the Company in favor of the National Australia Bank Limited.

Armstrong Wily were appointed Receivers and Managers of Luxe
Studios Pty Limited and Luxe Productions Pty Limited on
November 10, 2009, pursuant to an order of the Supreme Court of
New South Wales.

The Court-appointed Receivers continued to operate the business of
Luxe Productions Pty Limited from the Property during the period
November 10, 2009, to February 5, 2010.

In an update, Ferrier Hodgson said Morgan Kelly and John Melluish
on February 5, 2010, took control of the Company and the Property
in their capacity as Receivers and Managers and have entered into
a lease agreement with Luxe Studios and Productions Pty Limited
who are continuing to trade from the Property.

Luxe Productions Pty Limited provides photography studios for
short-term hire.


VISION (BRISBANE): Colliers, CapLand Appointed as Sale Managers
---------------------------------------------------------------
Deloitte partners, Chris Campbell, Simon Cathro and John Greig,
the Voluntary Administrators of Vision (Brisbane) Pty Limited and
Vision Developer (Qld) Pty Ltd, have confirmed the appointment of
Jeff Dolan from Colliers International and Damian Winterburn from
CapLand Real Estate Advisors, to jointly manage the sale of the
landmark Vision development site fronting Mary and Margaret
Streets in the Brisbane CBD.

Deloitte said in a statement that the DA approval has been given
for a mixed use project on the site, that if built, will be the
tallest building in Brisbane.  The project which was originally
due to be completed by May 2012, comprises seven levels of
basement car parking, three levels of retail, 15 levels of office
space, two observation decks and 53 levels of residential
apartments.

The current DA provides for 109,138sqm of gross floor area and 763
car parks that can be completed in a series of stages.

Mr. Campbell confirmed the Voluntary Administrators have control
of the site and construction company Grocon is maintaining the
site.  AU$25 million of excavation, piling and shoring works of
the seven level basement have already been completed.

Mr. Campbell also confirmed that at the first creditors meeting
held on January 28, creditors were told that presales equate to
71 per cent by number and 40 per cent by value (or AU$266 million)
of the 402 residential apartments.  "Mr. Campbell highlighted that
deposits for pre sales of AU$24 million are being held in trust
and that the penthouse and higher floor level apartments had not
been released for sale prior to his appointment.

"The Voluntary Administrators have already received significant
interest in the landmark site, which will be marketed for sale
through a six week 'offer to purchase or restructure' campaign,"
he said.

To allow that process to complete and for the Administrators to
consider possible restructure offers that require a Deed of
Company Arrangement, Mr. Campbell also confirmed that the Federal
Court of Australia has granted the Administrators a three month
extension to convene the second meeting of creditors.

Vision (Brisbane) Pty Limited and Vision Developer (Qld) Pty were
placed in administration on January 15, 2010.

CHINESE FUTURE: Moody's Gives Negative Outlook on 'Ba2' Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has changed to negative from stable the
outlook of Chinese Future Corporation's Ba2 corporate family
rating and B1 foreign currency bond rating.

"The change in outlook reflects Moody's concern that Chinese
Future's overall credit metrics could weaken in the near term due
to the 1) expiration of the "Easy Access" program; and 2)
unexpected increase in capex pursuant to the government's
requirement to upgrade the 123km Hangzhou Ring Road," say Wonnie
Chu, a Moody's Analyst.

The "Easy Access" program accounted for about 40% of Chinese
Future's FY2009 revenue.  Moody's previously expected that the
ramping up of the toll-by-weight program in 2H09 would offset the
revenue decline, but the program has been delayed to 1H2010.  In
addition, the government's requirement to beautify the ring road
in preparation for the Shanghai Expo, and to upgrade it in time
for the special inspection by the Ministry of Transportation,
could further pressure the company's cash flow.

"Together these factors suggest that the company's projected
coverage ratios will come under pressure over the next 12-18
months -- its projected Operating company DSCR of 1.3x and Holding
company EBITDA/ Interest of 1.1-1.5x are weak for the current
rating level," says Chu, also Moody's Lead Analyst for the
company.

Moody's draws certain comfort from the fact that the company has
taken steps to preserve cash by refinancing its debt with smaller
amortization requirements and the non-recurring nature of the
additional capex.

The possibility of a rating upgrade in the near term is limited
given the negative rating outlook.  However, the outlook could
revert to stable if the company manages its capex requirements,
such that Opco DSCR is above 1.7x and Holdco EBITDA/Interest
exceeds 1.5x on a sustained basis.

On the other hand, the ratings could be downgraded if 1) it fails
to ramp up its toll-by-weight program to offset revenue decline;
and/or 2) actual capex spent exceeds Moody's expectations, such
that Opco DSCR falls below 1.5x and Holdco EBITDA/Interest falls
below 1.3x on a sustained basis.

The last rating action with regard to Chinese Future was taken on
December 22, 2005, when the ratings were affirmed following the
completion of its notes issuance.

Chinese Future Corporation is a private investment holding company
incorporated in October 2005.  Through its subsidiaries it has
acquired the concession rights for 25 years to the ring road from
the Hangzhou government.  The ring road, completed at the end of
2003, is a 123km expressway that encircles Hangzhou, the capital
city of Zhejiang Province in China.

BEA'S INNOVATE: Moody's Cuts Rating on Hybrid Instruments to Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the ratings on certain
hybrid securities of Hong Kong banks and their subsidiaries.

The affected banks are Bank of East Asia, and its subsidiary,
Innovate Holdings, CITIC Ka Wah Bank and its subsidiary CKWH-UT2,
Dah Sing Bank, Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Standard
Chartered Bank (Hong Kong), and Wing Hang Bank.

These actions are in line with Moody's revised "Guidelines for
Rating Bank Hybrids and Subordinated Debt" published in November
2009.

Moody's downgraded these institutions' cumulative junior
subordinated debt securities ("Upper Tier 2 Issues") and BEA's
perpetual non-cumulative hybrid instrument ("Hybrid Tier 1 Issue")
ratings.

This concludes the review for possible downgrade that began on
November 18, 2009.

The outlooks for the ratings of DSB, HKBK, SCBHK and WHB are
stable; those of BEA and CKWB as well as their subsidiaries are
negative because the outlooks of their other debt and deposit
ratings are negative.  All other ratings on these banks remain
unchanged.

Prior to the global financial crisis, Moody's had incorporated
into its ratings the assumption that support provided by national
governments and central banks to shore up a troubled bank would,
to some extent, benefit subordinated debt holders as well as
senior creditors.  In many cases, however, the expected systemic
support for these instruments has not been forthcoming.  The
revised methodology largely removes Moody's previous assumptions
of systemic support, resulting in the rating actions.

In addition, the revised methodology generally widens the notching
on a hybrid's rating that is based on the instrument's features.

                     Rating Actions in Detail

The starting point in Moody's revised approach to rating hybrid
securities is the Adjusted Baseline Credit Assessment.  The
Adjusted BCA reflects a bank's standalone credit strength,
including parental and/or cooperative support, if applicable, but
excludes systemic support.

The Adjusted BCA for BEA is Baa2, the same as its BCA, since the
parental and cooperative support does not provide any rating
uplift.

The Adjusted BCA for CKWB is Baa2, is one notch higher than its
Baa3 BCA, since the parental support does provide rating uplift.

The Adjusted BCA for DSB is A3, the same as its BCA, since the
parental and cooperative support does not provide any rating
uplift.

The Adjusted BCA for HKBK is Aa2, the same as its BCA, since the
parental and cooperative support does not provide any rating
uplift.

The Adjusted BCA for SCBHK is A1, the same as its BCA, since the
parental and cooperative support does not provide any rating
uplift.

The Adjusted BCA for WHB is A2, the same as its BCA, since the
parental and cooperative support does not provide any rating
uplift.

Moody's expects that of these six banks, only BEA, HKBK, and SCBHK
would receive systemic support.

The main features of the hybrid instruments issued by these banks
and a discussion of the way Moody's rates them follow.

The Upper Tier 2 Issues of BEA, CKWB, DSB, and WHB have similar
structures.  They are perpetual.  The issuers can choose to defer
any interest payments of the issues at their discretion if no
dividend has been declared or paid on any class of the issuers'
share capital during the 12 months prior to the coupon payment
date of the issues.  Any deferred interest is cumulative.  The
instruments have a junior subordinated claim in liquidation and
rank senior to preferred shares and common shares.  Moody's
usually rates this kind of instrument two notches below the
Adjusted BCA for issuers without systemic support and one notch
below the Adjusted BCA for those with systemic support.

Each of Innovate's Hybrid Tier 1 stapled securities consists of a
50-year, unsecured, cumulative, interest-paying subordinated note
issued by the parent, BEA, which has been stapled to a perpetual
preference share issued by Innovate.  The investors would hold
only the preference shares of Innovate upon any assignment event.
The preference shares would then become dividend-paying.  The
dividend will be reduced if there is insufficient distributable
profit.  The issuer can choose to skip any of the issue's interest
payments at its discretion if no dividend has been declared or
paid on any class of the issuer's share capital during the 12
months prior to the coupon payment dates of the instruments.  Any
deferred interest is non-cumulative.  The preference shares only
rank in priority to the ordinary shares of BEA.  Moody's usually
rates this type of instrument four notches below the issuer's
Adjusted BCA.

HKBK's Upper Tier 2 Issues are perpetual.  Interest deferral would
be mandatory if the issuer were insolvent, defined as (1) being
unable to pay debts as they fall due and (2) its liabilities
exceeding its assets.  Interest deferral is optional if the issuer
has not paid or declared a dividend in either of the two
immediately preceding interest periods.  The instruments have a
junior subordinated claim in liquidation and rank senior only to
preferred shares and common shares.  Moody's usually rates this
kind of instrument taking into account potential systemic support.

SCBHK does not currently have Upper Tier 2 in issue.  However,
under the Group's Euro MTN debt Programme (where SCBHK is one of
the issuers), Upper Tier 2 issues (Junior Subordinated notes)
could be issued.  SCBHK's Upper Tier 2 Issues are perpetual.
Interest deferral would be mandatory if the issuer were insolvent,
which is defined as (1) unable to pay debts as they fall due and
(2) its liabilities exceeding its assets.  The issuer can choose
to defer any interest payment if the Upper Tier 2 Issues qualifies
as Upper Tier 2 capital or it is in breach of the requirements
contained in capital regulations.  The instruments have a junior
subordinated claim in liquidation and rank senior only to
preferred shares and common shares.  Moody's usually rates this
kind of instrument taking into account potential systemic support.

The individual rating actions on the Hong Kong banks' hybrid
securities and/or those that were issued or can be issued under
existing MTN programmes:

* BEA: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Baa3.

* BEA's Innovate: Non-cumulative hybrid instruments were
  downgraded to Ba3.

* CKWB and CKWB's CKWB-UT2: Junior subordinated debts were
  downgraded to Ba1.

* DSB: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Baa2.

* HKBK: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Aa3.

* SCBHK: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to A2.

* WHB: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Baa1.

The last rating actions for all these Hong Kong banks or
institutions were taken on November 18, 2009, when their hybrid
securities ratings were placed on review for possible downgrade.

These banks are all headquartered in Hong Kong.

BEA had assets of HK$411.9 billion (US$53.1 billion) as of end-
June 2009.

CKWB had assets of HK$117.2 billion (US$15.1 billion) as of end-
June 2009.

DSB had assets of HK$115.1 billion (US$14.9 billion) as of end-
June 2009.

HKBK had assets of HK$4,385.3 billion (US$565.8 billion) as of
end-June 2009.

SCBHK had assets of HK$642.2 billion (US$82.9 billion) as of end-
June 2009.

WHB had assets of HK$141.5 billion (US$18.3 billion) as of end-
June 2009.

exceeding its assets.  Interest deferral is optional if the issuer
has not paid or declared a dividend in either of the two
immediately preceding interest periods.  The instruments have a
junior subordinated claim in liquidation and rank senior only to
preferred shares and common shares.  Moody's usually rates this
kind of instrument taking into account potential systemic support.

SCBHK does not currently have Upper Tier 2 in issue.  However,
under the Group's Euro MTN debt Programme (where SCBHK is one of
the issuers), Upper Tier 2 issues (Junior Subordinated notes)
could be issued.  SCBHK's Upper Tier 2 Issues are perpetual.
Interest deferral would be mandatory if the issuer were insolvent,
which is defined as (1) unable to pay debts as they fall due and
(2) its liabilities exceeding its assets.  The issuer can choose
to defer any interest payment if the Upper Tier 2 Issues qualifies
as Upper Tier 2 capital or it is in breach of the requirements
contained in capital regulations.  The instruments have a junior
subordinated claim in liquidation and rank senior only to
preferred shares and common shares.  Moody's usually rates this
kind of instrument taking into account potential systemic support.

The individual rating actions on the Hong Kong banks' hybrid
securities and/or those that were issued or can be issued under
existing MTN programmes:

* BEA: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Baa3.

* BEA's Innovate: Non-cumulative hybrid instruments were
  downgraded to Ba3.

* CKWB and CKWB's CKWB-UT2: Junior subordinated debts were
  downgraded to Ba1.

* DSB: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Baa2.

* HKBK: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Aa3.

* SCBHK: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to A2.

* WHB: Junior subordinated debts were downgraded to Baa1.

The last rating actions for all these Hong Kong banks or
institutions were taken on November 18, 2009, when their hybrid
securities ratings were placed on review for possible downgrade.

These banks are all headquartered in Hong Kong.

BEA had assets of HK$411.9 billion (US$53.1 billion) as of end-
June 2009.

CKWB had assets of HK$117.2 billion (US$15.1 billion) as of end-

ARSHIT GEMS: CARE Assigns 'CARE B' Rating on INR69cr LT Bank Debts
------------------------------------------------------------------
CARE has assigned the rating of 'CARE B' to the Long-term Bank
Facilities of Arshit Gems.  This rating is applicable for
facilities having tenure of more than one year.  Facilities with
this rating are considered to offer low safety for timely
servicing of debt obligations and carry very high credit risk.
Such facilities are susceptible to default.

CARE assigns '+' or '-' signs to be shown after the assigned
rating (wherever necessary) to indicate the relative position
within the band covered by the rating symbol.  The rating assigned
by CARE is based on the capital deployed by the partners and the
financial strength of the firm at present.  The rating may undergo
a change in case of withdrawal of capital or of the unsecured
loans brought in by the partners in addition to changes in the
financial performance and other relevant factors.

                                Amount
   Facilities                (INR crore)         Ratings
   ----------                -----------         -------
   Long-term Bank Facilities     69.00           'CARE B'

Rating Rationale

The rating is constrained by the constitution of the firm being a
partnership firm, increasing interest cost, high proportion of
debtors to sales with no ECGC cover, long working capital cycle
and very low profitability margins as compared to industry norm,
liquidity constraints, low operational cash flows, high exposure
to exchange rate fluctuations, strong competition from large
number of players in organized & unorganized sectors and global
slowdown and its impact on Gems & Jewellery industry.

The rating considers the experience of the partners of AG in the
diamond business and geographically-diversified clientele base.

The ability of AG to ensure profitable operations given the
economic slowdown, and timely collection of receivables remain the
key rating sensitivities.

AG was incorporated in 1988 as a partnership firm.  The firm is
engaged in importing rough diamonds, cutting, polishing them and
then exporting them to various destinations round the globe from
the past 21 years.

As per provisional results, on a total income of INR161.02 crore,
AG earned a PAT of INR2.80 crore in FY09.  The decline in net
sales by 21.19% in FY09 was mainly on account of the economic
slowdown and lower demand from the major buyers. PAT margins
improved in FY09 (as per provisional results) at 1.74% mainly on
account of profit from exchange rate fluctuations (depreciation of
Indian Rupee).  But for this extraordinary profit, the firm would
have reported an operating loss of INR0.69 crore.

The overall gearing ratio of the firm improved to 1.27x as on
March 31, 2009 from 1.62x as on March 31, 2008. The working
capital cycle had increased to 246 days in FY09 from 232 days in
FY08 on account of increase in collection period.


AUROBINDO INSTITUTE: CARE Rates INR108.5cr LT Loan at 'CARE B'
--------------------------------------------------------------
CARE has assigned a 'CARE B' rating to the Long-term Bank
Facilities of Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences.
Facilities with 'Single B' rating are considered to offer low
safety for timely servicing of debt obligations and carry very
high credit risk.  Such facilities are susceptible to default.

                                Amount
   Facilities                (INR crore)         Ratings
   ----------                -----------         -------
   Long-term Bank Facilities     108.50          'CARE B'

Rating Rationale

The rating factors in SAIMS' unsatisfactory debt servicing rack
record in the past, weak financial profile marked by the
accumulated losses since inception, short track record of
operations, weak financial discipline, ongoing predominantly debt
funded capex plan which is expected to worsen debt protection
ratios and highly regulated environment in education sector.
These weaknesses are, however, partially offset by the vast
experience of promoters and strong brand presence of SAIMS in
Madhya Pradesh.

The timely servicing of debt obligations, ability of SAIMS to
improve its profitability and cash flow situation are the key
rating sensitivities.

Established in June, 2003, SAIMS is a society promoted by
Dr. Vinod Bhandari and his wife Dr. Manjushree Bhandari, eminent
medical practitioners of Indore. SAIMS started with MBBS course in
FY05 and added BDS (in FY07) and other courses like paramedical,
nursing, some certificate courses, engineering and management in
its existing campus. SAIMS also has a 750-bed hospital in Indore.

During FY09, SAIMS reported negative surplus of INR1.34 crore on a
total operating income of INR29.41 crore. During FY10, till
October 31, 2009 SAIMS had received tuition fees of INR20.26
crore.


DURABUILD TECHNOLOGIES: CRISIL Assigns Junk Ratings on Bank Debts
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on Durabuild Technologies Pvt Ltd's bank
facilities continue to reflect Durabuild's continuously overdrawn
cash credit limits (which were not regularized for 30 days) due to
devolvement of letters of credit and stretched liquidity.

   Facilities                               Ratings
   ----------                               -------
   INR461.4 Million Term Loan*                 D
   INR232.6 Million Proposed Long-Term         D
                 Bank Loan Facilities^         D
   INR186.0 Million Cash Credit~               D
   INR140.0 Million Letter of Credit#          P5

   *Reduced from INR506.6 million  .
   ^Enhanced from INR123.4 million.
   ~Reduced from INR280 million.

   #Enhanced from INR110 million; interchangeable
    between letter of credit/bank guarantee/buyer's
    credit.

Durabuild, promoted by Mr. Kishore Musale, is a manufacturer of
aluminium composite panels (ACPs).  The company began operations
in 2004 by trading in ACPs, and later set up its own manufacturing
plant. It has an installed capacity to produce 2 million square
meters per annum (msmpa) of ACPs.  Furthermore, as part of a
backward integration process, Durabuild commissioned a coil colour
coating plant in June 2007, with estimated capacity of 13 msmpa.
The coated coils are an intermediate step in the production
process for ACPs.

ACPs constitute a modern cladding material used for external
facades and interiors. It is used primarily in the construction
and real estate industries for cladding exterior walls, columns,
roofs, canopies, shop fronts, and elevation of buildings.


GODHANI IMPEX: CARE Reaffirms 'CARE BB' Rating on INR45cr LT Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE has reaffirmed the 'CARE BB+' rating assigned to the Long-
term Bank Facilities of Godhani Impex aggregating INR45 crore This
rating is applicable for facilities having tenure of over one
year.  Facilities with this rating are considered to offer
inadequate safety for timely servicing of debt obligations. Such
facilities carry high credit risk.  The rating assigned by CARE is
based on the capital deployed by the partners and the current
financial strength of the firm.  The rating may undergo change in
case of withdrawal of capital or of the unsecured loans brought in
by the partners in addition to the financial performance and other
relevant factors.

                                Amount
   Facilities                (INR crore)         Ratings
   ----------                -----------         -------
   Long-term Bank Facilities     45              CARE BB+

Rating Rationale

The rating is constrained by deteriorated financial profile
characterized by subdued profitability margins for FY09 due to the
challenging business environment in the target markets and foreign
exchange losses, high level of receivables and resultant long
working capital cycle.  The rating considers experience of the
partners in the diamond business and capital support by the
partners. Ability of the firm to improve its financial position in
subdued economic conditions coupled with increasing competition
from a large number of players in organized and unorganized
sectors are the key rating sensitivities

GI, a partnership firm, was formed in March 2005 by three brothers
from Odhavjibhai Godhani family, engaged in processing and
exporting of diamonds.  The major export destinations of GI are
USA, UAE, Hong Kong and Belgium.

GI posted total income of INR142 crore in FY09 against INR132
crore in FY08 and PAT of INR0.02 crore in FY09 against INR2.84
crore in FY08.  However PAT levels were affected on account of
foreign exchange loss on imports of INR18 crore.  The overall
gearing ratio of the firm stood at 1.57x as on March 31, 2009.


HARYANA CITY: CARE Assigns 'CARE BB' on Various Bank Facilities
---------------------------------------------------------------
CARE has assigned a 'CARE BB' rating to the Long-term Bank
Facilities of Haryana City Gas Distribution Ltd.  This rating is
applicable for facilities having tenure of more than one year.
Facilities with this rating are considered to offer inadequate
safety for timely servicing of debt obligations.  Such facilities
carry high credit risk.

These ratings are assigned to the long-term bank facilities
aggregating INR25.94 crore.

                                     Amount
   Facilities                     (INR crore)     Ratings
   ----------                     -----------     -------
   Long-term Fund Based Limits      20.94         'CARE BB'
   Long-term Non-Fund Based Limits   5.00         'CARE BB'

Rating Rationale

The ratings are constrained by very short track record of
operations of the company and delays in implementation of the
project leading to constrained cash flow position.  The ratings
also take into account the present status of financial closure for
the remaining phases of the project.

However, the ratings are supported by exclusivity in respect of
natural gas distribution in the city of Gurgaon and favorable
demand potential of natural gas in the city due to its growing
acceptance as economical and environment friendly fuel as well as
easing supply constraints after the start of natural gas
production from KG basin.

Going forward, the ability of the company to complete the overall
project within envisaged schedule and cost, its ability to secure
supply of natural gas at reasonable cost and early receipt of
authorization for distribution of the gas by PNGRB would be the
key rating sensitivities.

Haryana City Gas Distribution Ltd is a part of SKN-Bentex group
and was incorporated in the year 2000 for distribution of natural
gas by creating an infrastructure of pipeline network.  The
company is currently setting up gas distribution infrastructure in
the city of Gurgaon (Haryana) to be supplied to transport,
domestic, industrial and commercial segments.

The overall project is divided into five phases to be implemented
up to 2013.  Phase I has been completed by March 2009.  The
company operates 3 CNG stations in the city of Gurgaon as at the
end of November 2009.

The company started its operations in March 2009.  As on March 31,
2009 the overall gearing of the company was 1.14.  For the half
year ended September 30, 2009, the company reported CNG sales of
INR5.5 crore and the sales have been increasing month on month due
to setting up of new CNG stations and capacity expansion of the
existing stations.


JHUNJHUNWALA TRADING: ICRA Rates INR137.5MM Bank Limit at 'LBB'
---------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned an 'LBB' rating to Rs 137.50 million fund based
limits of Jhunjhunwala Trading Private Limited.

The rating is constrained by the high market risks associated with
the project in the western suburbs of Mumbai which it is currently
executing and the likely increase in gearing levels given the
capex requirements.  The performance of the company also remains
exposed to the profitability of the partnerships and joint
ventures involved in real estate projects which have significant
investments from JTPL.  The market risks are also heightened
because of the fact that a major portion of the company's ongoing
projects remain unsold, funds/revenue from which is crucial for
the company to meet its debt repayment obligations due from FY
2011.  The rating favorably  factors in the promoter's established
track record in business of real estate construction and
favorable demand scenario of real estate projects in the western
suburbs of Mumbai where JTPL's projects are presently located.

Jhunjhunwala Trading Pvt. Ltd. was established in the year 1992 as
a private limited company.  JTPL is engaged in the business of
construction and development of residential projects in the
western suburbs of Mumbai.  The company has its registered office
in Mumbai.

JTPL is a part of Jhunjhunwala Group which has completed 10
projects consisting of 12 buildings and a total saleable area of
1.60 million sq. ft. All the projects are located in the western
suburbs of Mumbai and have had good sales and visibility in the
region. The group has also completed commercial projects in Pune.

The company earned net profit of INR 4.80 million on an operating
income of INR 117.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2009, and
net profit of INR 11.6 million on an operating income of
INR18.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2008.


KAUR SAIN: CRISIL Lifts Ratings on INR349.7MM Term Loan to 'B+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has upgraded its rating on Kaur Sain Spinners long-term
bank facilities to 'B+/Stable' from 'C'; the rating on the
company's short-term facilities has been reaffirmed at 'P4'.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR170.00 Million Cash Credit    B+/Stable (Upgraded from 'C')
   INR349.7 Million Term Loan       B+/Stable (Upgraded from 'C')
   INR40.00 Million Letter of       P4 (Reaffirmed)
                     Credit
   INR9.5 Million Bank Guarantee    P4 (Reaffirmed)

The rating upgrade reflects the timely payment of debt obligations
by Kaur Sain from April 2009.  The company's debt servicing
capability has improved from the weak levels in the past,
supported by increase in sales following the fast ramp up of
utilisation of its newly added capacity, and improvement in its
profitability because of cost efficient operations.

The ratings reflect Kaur Sain's weak financial risk profile marked
by high gearing, low net worth, and weak debt protection measures.
The gearing, which was at 2.32 times as on March 31, 2009, is
expected to remain above 2 times over the near term, driven by
increase in short-term borrowings for working capital requirements
and debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) planned in 2010-11
(refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31).  The ratings also
reflect the company's moderate scale of operations and
vulnerability to fluctuations in raw material prices.  These
weaknesses are partially offset by the promoters' extensive
experience in the yarn business.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Kaur Sain's capital structure will remain
leveraged on account of debt raised for the recent capex and the
capex planned for the medium term.  The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' if the company reports higher-than-expected sales and
profitability, or completes and stabilizes capacity enhancement
earlier than expected, leading to improvement in sales and cash
accruals.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if
Kaur Sain reports lower-than-expected revenues and profitability,
or in case of any delay in implementing the capacity enhancement,
affecting the company's liquidity.

                          About Kaur Sain

Incorporated in September 1997, Kaur Sain manufactures polyester
spun yarn.  The company is promoted by Mr. Sushil Kumar Mittal and
his brothers.  Kaur Sain, which became operational in 2002, has an
installed capacity of 32,928 spindles.  Group company Kaur Sain
Spinning Mills Ltd manufactures polyester and cotton yarn; another
group company, Kaur Sain Spinning Mills, manufactures texturised
synthetic yarn.

Kaur Sain reported a net loss of INR11.5 million on sales of
INR605 million for 2008-09, against a PAT of INR2.8 million on
sales of INR364 million for 2007-08.


KINGFISHER AIRLINES: Likely to Raise INR400cr to Repay Debts
------------------------------------------------------------
Kingfisher Airlines is likely to come out with a rights issue
offering shareholders one equity share for every one they hold to
raise nearly INR400 crore to retire mounting debt, The Economic
Times reports.

The report, citing persons close to the development, relates that
Kingfisher might offer as much as a 70% discount over the current
market price of the stock to its shareholders.

The troubled carrier has appointed SBI Capital as the arranger for
the issue, the Times says.

                  New International Routes Approved

Separately, The Economic Times reports that Kingfisher Airlines
said it has got the approval for flying on seven new international
routes.

The report says the new routes are New Delhi-London-New Delhi, New
Delhi-Hong Kong-New Delhi, New Delhi-Bangkok-New Delhi, New Delhi-
Dubai-New Delhi, Mumbai-Colombo-Mumbai, Mumbai-Bangkok-Mumbai and
Mumbai-Dubai-Mumbai.

Citing Kingfisher's statement, the Times says the government has
granted traffic rights on these routes.  The New Delhi-London and
the New Delhi-Hong Kong routes would be operated "soon", the
report adds.

INR1.89 billion in the year ended March 31, 2008.

In the financial year ended June 30, 2007, Deccan Aviation

INR3.41 billion loss incurred in FY 2006.


KINGFISHER AIRLINES: 40 Senior Pilots Quit In a Month
-----------------------------------------------------
Kingfisher Airlines has seen 40 of its senior pilots quit over the
past month as a cut in the number of planes and routes limits
opportunities, The Economic Times reports citing company sources.

The report relates that a total of 100 pilots have left the
company in the past year, 16% of its total strength of 600.

According to the report, a Kingfisher spokesperson confirmed that
the pilots had resigned, but said this was in no way out of the
ordinary.

The majority of those quitting are at the commander level, senior
pilots with more than 2,000 hours of flying time and who are in
charge of the plane during flights, the Times notes.  Sources said
another 20 pilots are set to put in their papers, the report adds.

The Economic Times states that the recent attrition excludes 100
trainee pilots Kingfisher benched three months ago after it cut
its domestic capacity by 22% and brought down the number of
flights per day to 350 from 600 about a year ago.

NEELA SYSTEMS: CRISIL Assigns 'B' Rating on INR120MM Term Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Stable/P4' ratings to Neela Systems
Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR120.0 Million Term Loan       B/Stable (Assigned)
   INR80.0 Million Cash Credit      B/Stable (Assigned)
   INR100.0 Million Letter of       P4 (Assigned)
      Credit & Bank Guarantee

The ratings reflect Neela Systems' modest scale of operations in
the water treatment plants and modular process systems industry,
and its stretched liquidity position on account of delayed
realizations from customers.  These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by the benefits that Neela Systems derives from
its track record of timely project delivery, and its technical
expertise in the water treatment systems segment.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Neela Systems will continue to benefit from
its established relationships with customers and suppliers, and
its promoters' experience in the water treatment systems industry,
over the medium term.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if
Neela Systems diversifies its product base, demonstrates
sustainability in its operating margin, and improves collection
efficiency in respect of its customers, or through fresh infusion
of long-term funds into the company, improves its liquidity
position.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in
case of significant deterioration in the company's operating
margin, debt protection metrics, or liquidity position.

PARABOLIC DRUGS: CARE Places 'CARE BB' Rating on LT Bank Debts
--------------------------------------------------------------
CARE has assigned a 'CARE BB' rating to the Long-term Bank
Facilities of Parabolic Drugs Ltd.  This rating is applicable for
facilities having tenure of more than one year.  Facilities with
this rating are considered to offer inadequate safety for timely
servicing of debt obligations. Such facilities carry high credit
risk.

Also, CARE has assigned a 'PR4' rating to the Short-term Bank
Facilities of PDL.  This rating is applicable for facilities
having tenure up to one year.  Facilities with this rating would
have inadequate capacity for timely payment of short-term debt
obligations and carry very high credit risk.  Such facilities are
susceptible to default.

These ratings are assigned to both long-term and short-term bank
facilities aggregating INR506.93 crore.

                                 Amount
   Facilities                 (INR crore)       Ratings
   ----------                 -----------       -------
   Long-term Bank Facilities    342.93          CARE BB
   Short-term Bank Facilities   164.00          PR4

Rating Rationale

The ratings are constrained by, adverse impact on PDL's liquidity
position in FY09 on account of delay in realization of payments
from export sales, high level of overall gearing which would
worsen with significant, largely debt-funded capital expenditure,
volatility in prices of imported raw material along-with exposure
to exchange risk on account of imports and liabilities denominated
in foreign currency, though partially mitigated because of direct
exports.  However, the ratings derive strength from the strong
growth in revenue reported in past, experienced management,
product approvals and certificates of suitability in USA, EU and
other regulated markets, reputed client base and strong focus on
R&D activities.

Going forward, the company's ability to augment cash flows and
stabilization of the ongoing projects remain the key rating
sensitivities.

Parabolic Drugs Ltd was incorporated as a public limited company
in 1996 promoted by Mr. Pranav Gupta and Mr. Vineet Gupta, with
financial assistance from Punjab State Industrial Development
Corporation.  PDL is mainly engaged in the manufacturing of
pharmaceutical API and API Intermediates.

PDL has got the US FDA approval for supplying 6-APA to US markets.
PDL has also been granted Certificates of Suitability by European
Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM) for two of its
products.  As on November 30, 2009, PDL had filed 15 Drug Master
Files (DMF) applications in EU, US and other markets.

During the period FY 2006-2009, PDL's operating income has grown
at a healthy CAGR of 64.66% on account of introduction of expanded
product range including Oral Cephalosporin and Sterile Injectible)
products and expansion of existing facilities.  PDL recorded
operating income of INR395 crore with PBILDT of INR60 crore in
FY09.  In H1FY10, PDL has reported a total operating income of
INR232 cr, and earned PAT of INR17 cr.


RAJ AGRO: Small Net Worth Cues 'B+' Rating on INR120MM Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'B+/Stable/P4' to the bank
facilities of Raj Agro Mills Ltd.

   Facilities                           Ratings
   ----------                           -------
   INR100.0 Million Cash Credit Limit   B+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR120.0 Million Term Loan           B+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR145.0 Million Letter of Credit    P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect RAML's weak financial risk profile marked by
small net worth, high gearing and weak debt protection measures;
and its exposure to risks relating to the fragmented nature of,
and intense competition in, the edible oil segment, and to risks
associated with stabilization of new capacities. These weaknesses
are partially offset by the company's improving operating
efficiencies because of its integrated operations.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the financial
risk profiles of RAML and Raj Industries, collectively referred to
as the Raj group. This is because both the entities have
operational linkages, and a common promoter group and management.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects the Raj group's financial risk profile to remain
constrained because of its high gearing and large capital
expenditure (capex) requirements over the medium term.  The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of significant growth
in the group's profitability and topline, leading to better-than-
expected debt protection indicators.  Conversely, the outlook may
be revised to 'Negative' in case the group undertakes larger-than-
expected debt-funded capex, leading to more pressure on its
already leveraged capital structure, and weakening its debt
protection measures.

                         About the Group

RAML, the flagship company of the Raj group, was incorporated in
1990. RAML manufactures refined oil and vanaspati, besides by-
products such as fatty acids, wax, and gums. Its facility in
Ludhiana (Punjab) has installed capacity to produce 100 tonnes per
day (tpd) of refined oil.  The company sells its product to
traders as well as large edible oil manufacturers, such as Marico
Ltd and Amrit Banaspati Company Ltd.

Raj Industries, which was set up in 2004, manufactures toilet soap
noodles and finished soap.  The firm sells its product to large
soap manufacturers such as Hindustan Unilever Ltd and ITC Ltd. Its
facility in Nalagarh (Himachal Pradesh) has installed capacity of
144 tpd of soap noodles, and 36 tpd of finished soap.

RAML reported a net loss of INR41.9 million on net sales of
INR1273.2 million for 2008-09, as against a profit after tax of
INR20.3 million on net sales of INR1150.6 million for 2007-08.


ROYAL BANK: May Lay Off 70 Retail Loans Staff in Indian Unit
------------------------------------------------------------
ABN Amro India, which is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland, may
lay off about 70 employees in its retail loans business, as the
British bank continues to sell off assets to focus in its home
market, The Economic Times reports citing people familiar with the
matter.

According to the report, RBS has offered them some positions in
the collections and wealth management departments.  However, more
than 60 employees may opt for voluntary retirement scheme and will
have to leave by April 7.

The report notes that this is at least the second time that ABN is
laying off staff in India.  The bank had, in late 2008, laid off
around 300 employees.  "When they reviewed the business in
November last year, they decided to further trim the head count,"
report quoted an executive as saying.

According to the Times, ABN Amro in India has been slipping in the
last year or so after scores of executives quit the company as RBS
struggled for survival during the credit crisis and regulatory
issues prevented it from selling Indian business as part of its
deal to sell the Asian unit to Australia's ANZ Bank.

The Economic Times says the bank has decided to freeze fresh
retail loans, including credit cards and personal loans, to
prevent a deterioration in its bad loans, as it inches closer to
sale of its trimmed down retail banking to Asia-focused UK bank,
HSBC.

                             About RBS

http://www.rbs.com/-- is a holding company of The Royal Bank of

interest in Global Voice Group Ltd.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Dec. 22,
2009, Fitch Ratings upgraded The Royal Bank of Scotland Group's
(RBS Group) and The Royal Bank of Scotland's Individual Ratings to
'D/E' from 'E' and removed the Rating Watch Positive.  The upgrade
of the Individual Ratings reflects improvements in the group's
capital combined with some progress in restructuring the balance
sheet.


SHREE ARIHANT: CRISIL Assigns 'BB' Rating on INR60MM Cash Credit
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'BB/Stable/P4+' to Shree
Arihant Tradelinks India Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR60.0 Million Cash Credit Limit      BB/Stable (Assigned)
   INR179.0 Million Letter of Credit      P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect SATL's weak financial risk profile, and
exposure to risks relating to consistent decline in operating
margins, to cyclicality in end-user industries, and to customer
concentration in revenue profile.  These weaknesses are partially
offset by the benefits that the company derives from its
promoters' track record and improvement in working capital cycle.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that SATL will maintain a stable credit risk
profile backed by promoter's experience and established customer
base.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the company
reports high profitability and undertakes efficient working
capital management.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' if the company contracts large debt to fund its capital
expenditure leading to stress on its debt protection measures.

                        About Shree Arihant

Set up in 1999, Shree Arihant Tradelinks India Pvt Ltd commenced
manufacturing operations in June 2005. It manufactures low ash
metallurgical (LAM) coke at its plant located at Gandhidham
(Gujarat).  It has capacity of 72,000 tonnes per annum (one
battery of 21 ovens) and is currently operating at almost full
capacity utilization.  SATL plans to double its existing capacity
by setting up another LAM coke manufacturing facility at its
existing premises which is planned to be funded in a debt-to-
equity ratio of 1:1. It also plans to set up a waste-heat recovery
power plant in future.

SATL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR5.2 million on net
sales of INR1084.5 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), as against a PAT of INR4.1 million on net
sales of INR715.8 million for 2007-08.


SHREE CONVEYOR: CRISIL Places 'B' Ratings on Various Bank Debts
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Negative/P4' ratings to Shree Conveyor
Systems Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR26.5 Million Cash Credit Limit      B/Negative (Assigned)
   INR37.0 Million Working Capital        B/Negative (Assigned)
                  Demand Loan
   INR13.1 Million Term Loan              B/Negative (Assigned)
   INR34.4 Million Proposed Long Term     B/Negative (Assigned)
              Bank Loan Facility
   INR80.0 Million Bank Guarantee         P4 (Assigned)
   INR9.0 Million Letter of Credit        P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect SCSPL's large working capital requirements
leading to weak financial risk profile and stretched liquidity,
its small scale of operations, and the customer concentration in
its revenues.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
benefits that SCSPL derives from its promoters' experience in the
material handling and mineral processing equipment industry, and
its established relationships with its customers.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes that SCSPL's financial risk profile will
deteriorate over the medium term because of increasing working
capital requirements.  The ratings may be downgraded in case of
more-than-expected deterioration in the company's financial risk
profile because of high utilization of cash accruals on account of
greater-than-expected increase in working capital cycle.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Stable' if the
company's financial risk profile improves, led by capital infusion
or improvement in its working capital cycle or profitability.

                        About Shree Conveyor

Incorporated in 1990 by Mr. V S Madan, SCSPL manufactures material
handling and mineral processing equipment, systems, and
components.  The company undertakes turnkey projects which involve
detailed study, designing, engineering, manufacturing, and
commissioning.

SCSPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR0.2 million on net
sales of INR131.3 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR1.1 million on net sales
of INR120.6 million for 2007-08.


SURUCHI FOODS: Low Net Worth Cues CRISIL 'BB-' Ratings
------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to Suruchi Foods
Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR300.0 Million Cash Credit           BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR20.0 Million Bank Guarantee         P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect Suruchi's weak financial risk profile marked
by low net worth, high gearing, and weak debt protection measures,
the high customer concentration in its revenue profile, its
susceptibility to fluctuations in raw material prices, and its
large working capital requirements.  These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by the benefits that Suruchi derives from its
promoters' experience in the agricultural commodities and weaning
foods business, and its strong order book from the Government of
Uttar Pradesh (GoUP).

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Suruchi's profitability will remain
vulnerable to raw material price fluctuations, and its financial
risk profile will remain weak because of 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 diversifies its customer base.  Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the company faces delays
in realizing its receivables, or if sharp increases in food grain
prices adversely affect the company's revenues and profitability.

                        About Suruchi Foods

Incorporated in 1986, Suruchi commenced operations in 1999.
Suruchi manufactures ready-to-eat weaning foods and nutritional
supplements for sale to UP state government departments, under the
Integrated Child Development Services programme.  These items are
for free distribution to below-poverty-line families in rural
India.  Suruchi has a manufacturing unit in Noida (Uttar Pradesh),
with a capacity of around 50,400 tonnes per annum. Until 2007-08
(refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), the company also
traded in grains, which accounted for 23 per cent of its revenues.
This activity was discontinued in 2008-09.

Suruchi reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR3.1 million on net
sales of INR686.6 million for 2008-09, against a PAT of INR3.3
million on net sales of INR835.1 million for 2007-08.


VYAPTI INFRABUILD: CRISIL Rates INR65MM Term Loans at 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its rating of 'B-/Negative' to the rupee term
loan facility of Vyapti Infrabuild Private Ltd.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR65.0 Million Rupee Term Loans       B-/Negative (Assigned)

The rating reflects VIPL's weak financial risk profile, marked by
weak liquidity.  The rating also factors in VIPL's exposure to
risks relating to delays in project construction, resulting in
delays in generation of operating cash flows, and limited real
estate development track record. These weaknesses are partially
offset by the financial support that VIPL receives from its
promoters.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes that VIPL's liquidity will be stretched over the
medium term, owing to delays in commencement of its mall-cum-
office project, Vishv Arcade, and in sale of developed property.
The rating may be downgraded, if the company's liquidity
deteriorates from current levels.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Stable' if there is substantial improvement in the
saleability of the project.

                      About Vyapti Infrabuild

Set up in January 2008 by the Bhavsar family, Vyapti Infrabuild
Private Ltd is a closely held real estate development company.
VIPL's promoters have over the past two decades developed 19
residential projects in and around Ahmedabad, under different
partnership firms to avail of income tax benefits.  In 2007, the
promoters decided to bring all future projects under a single
company, and hence incorporated VIPL in January 2008.  VIPL is
developing its first mall-cum-office project?Vishv Arcade?with a
total saleable area of 37,580 square feet, at a cost of INR145
million.


WOOLWAYS (INDIA): CRISIL Assigns 'B' Rating on INR2.9MM Term Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its ratings of 'B/Negative/P4' to Woolways
(India) Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR52.5 Million Cash Credit Limit      B/Negative (Assigned)
   INR2.9 Million Term Loan               B/Negative (Assigned)
   INR76.5 Million Packing Credit         P4 (Assigned)
   INR5.0 Million Letter of Credit        P4 (Assigned)
   INR6.5 Million Bank Guarantee          P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect WIL's moderate financial risk profile,
exposure to risks relating to setting up a greenfield hydro-power
project, and customer concentration in revenue profile.  These
weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits that WIL derives
from its diversified product portfolio.

Outlook: Negative

WIL plans to undertake a hydro-power project in Himachal Pradesh.
The company has never undertaken a project of this scale and
nature, and its success in implementing such projects is yet to be
demonstrated.  The ratings may be downgraded if large debt funding
of further capital expenditure, or significant delays in
implementation of the project, lead to deterioration in WIL's
financial risk profile.  The outlook may be revised to 'Stable' if
the company successfully implements the project without
significant time and cost overruns.

                      About Woolways (India)

Set up in 1985 as a proprietary company by Mr. Rakesh Nayar, WIL
(formerly, Woolways Industries) converted into a closely held
public limited company in 1994.  The company manufactures and
exports hosiery knitwear, children's garments, and thermal wear
from its facilities in Ludhiana (Punjab).  As on November 30,
2009, the company had nine retail showrooms selling children's
garments, spread over northern India.

WIL was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in 1995.  The
trading in the company's share was suspended and the company was
delisted from BSE in 2004.

WIL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR5.6 million on net
sales of INR847.5 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), as against a PAT of INR3.9 million on net
sales of INR541.1 million for 2007-08.

STAR ENERGY: Fitch Assigns 'B+' Rating on US$350 Mil. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a final rating of 'B+' and a final
Recovery Rating of 'RR4' to Indonesia's Star Energy Geothermal
(Wayang Windu) Limited's US$350 million senior secured notes.

This rating action follows the completion of the notes issue and
receipt of documents conforming to information previously
received.  The final ratings are the same as the expected ratings
assigned on January 26, 2010.

SEG is one of the largest geothermal electricity producers in
Indonesia, with total installed capacity of 227MW.  It has
exclusive rights to exploit and utilize geothermal resources at
the Wayang Windu contract area located in the highlands of West
Java.


STAR ENERGY: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Rating on Senior Secured Debt
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned the B2 senior secured debt
rating on the US$350 million 11.5% notes due 2015 issued by Star
Energy Geothermal (Wayang Windu) Limited.

The provisional status of the rating has been removed following
the completion of the bond issue.  The outlook on the rating is
stable.

The proceeds from the issue will refinance outstanding debt under
an existing bank facility, fund an interest reserve account for
the bond,and partially fund developmental costs related to the
proposed Unit 3 expansion.

Moody's notes that the final structure of the notes has changed
with the addition of a fixed principal amortization schedule of
US$12.5 million payable semi-annually in the third and fourth
years, should Star Energy not be able to deliver evidence showing
that development of Unit 3 commenced prior to January 1, 2013.

Moody's sees no rating impact, as the amortizing feature will
reduce some of the refinancing risk at maturity and spread it out
across earlier years, in the event Unit 3 does not go forward.
Furthermore, the tightening of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and
Limitation of Restricted Payment covenant and the addition of the
prohibition on payments and modifications to the shareholder loan
agreement or subordination deed will provide additional protection
to the bondholders.

The last rating action on Star Energy was on 26 January 2010, when
Moody's assigned the company a B2 corporate family rating and a
(P)B2 senior secured bond rating.

Star Energy Geothermal (Wayang Windu) Limited (Star Energy) is one
of the largest geothermal power stations in Indonesia, with 227 MW
of operational capacity.  It operates a geothermal energy resource
area on the island of Java.  Star Energy began commercial
operations in June 2000 with Unit 1, a 110MW geothermal turbine-
generator unit.  The company increased its installed generation
capacity by 117MW in March 2009 with the start of commercial
operations at Unit 2, raising total installed capacity to 227MW.
Star Energy has the right to develop and sell up to 400MW to PLN.

JLOC XXVIII: Moody's Downgrades Ratings on Class C & D Certs.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the Class C and D Senior
trust certificates issued by JLOC XXVIII Trust as well as the
Mezzanine Specified Bonds issued by Harajuku Holding Tokutei
Mokuteki Kaisha.  The final maturity for both transactions will
take place in October 2012.

The individual rating actions are listed below.

  -- Class C Trust Certificates, downgraded to Baa3 from A3;
     previously, A3 placed under review for possible downgrade on
     December 25, 2009

  -- Class D Trust Certificates, downgraded to Caa2 from Ba3;
     previously, Ba3 placed under review for possible downgrade on
     December 25, 2009.

  -- Mezzanine Specified Bond, downgraded to Caa3 from B3;
     previously, B3 placed under review for possible downgrade on
     December 25, 2009

The JLOC XXVIII Senior Trust and Mezzanine Specified Bonds, issued
in October 2005, comprise a liquidating CMBS transaction.

The JLOC XXVIII Senior Trust was originally secured by senior
specified bonds issued by two TMK, which were backed by 567
properties.  The specified bonds -- issued by Nakano Holding TMK -
- were redeemed in full in July 2006.

The remaining specified bonds were issued by Harajuku Holding TMK,
and were originally backed by 329 properties or property trust
certificates; thus far, of this total, 158 properties have been
disposed of.

The remaining top 10 properties -- based on Moody's current value
-- account for approximately 45% of the portfolio; and residential
properties located outside Tokyo account for approximately 45%.

Moody's received the asset adviser's new asset disposal plan last
December.  The previous review reflected Moody's growing concerns
about the need to reconsider its assumptions as of last June about
collateral recovery and its disposal scenarios.

According to the new plan, scheduled disposal prices will decline
from the levels proposed in the previous plan of last March.

Additionally, although according to the previous plan the asset
adviser was to sell all of the remaining properties by this
September, they are now unlikely to be even sold at the balloon
Moody's that had initially assumed as being October of this year.

In addition, the disposal of the high-value properties may now be
postponed.

Moody's interviewed the asset adviser on its current disposal
activities and strategies.  Consequently, Moody's new estimate for
disposal prices is approximately 24% lower than the initial value.

Moody's sees increasing uncertainty on collateral recovery as the
disposal of some properties, including the high-value ones, may
now be postponed.

Also, the disposition has been underway at levels near Moody's
stressed scenarios assumed in last June.  Hereafter, Moody's
thinks it will be necessary to closely monitor the trend of
disposal prices and property-sales system of the asset adviser
after the balloon Moody's assumed, as well as the disposal
progress.

After the foregoing reviews, this rating action reflects Moody's
concern of the likelihood that the underlying properties could be
sold at prices lower than initial allocated loan amounts, and that
realized losses expected in the future -- with the progress of the
asset advisor's plan -- could lead to the impairment of the Class
C and D trust certificates and the Mezzanine Specified Bond.

PIONEER CORPORATION: Moody's Monitors Issuance of Common Stocks
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service says that it will monitor the progress
and effects of a planned issuance of common stock shares by
Pioneer Corporation (B2 with negative outlook).

In its announcement on February 9, 2010, Pioneer said that it
would issue 80 million new shares of common stock, the total
proceeds of which (about JPY28 billion, based on February 9, 2010,
share price) would be determined later in February, with the
actual payment made in early March.  The funds will be used mainly
for strengthening its car electronics business.

Pioneer will issue its new shares to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (A1),
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (A1), and Mitsubishi Chemical
Corporation (not rated), through a third-party allotment, and
raise about JPY5.6 billion.

Honda has been a major client of the OEM business of Pioneer's car
electronics business.  MELCO and Mitsubishi Chemical have decided
to form alliances with Pioneer on the development of car
navigation systems and organic light-emitting diode lighting,
respectively.

Pioneer had originally intended to raise about JPY40 billion to
meet the funding needed for its restructuring and redemption of
about JPY60 billion in convertible bonds due in March 2011.
However, it is now planning to use its own funds to cover its
current funding requirements.  Pioneer believes that the
reductions of operating loss and restructuring costs, as well as
the sale of assets (including the site of its former head office),
will allow it to generate sufficient funds.

Moody's will take no rating action at this moment, but will
monitor the progress of Pioneer's plan, as a successful stock
issue could result in improvements to its financial flexibility
and balance sheet.

To assess the impact on the rating, Moody's will consider the
amount raised through the offering and Pioneer's use of the
proceeds, as well as the impact of the alliances.  Moody's will
also examine the company's medium-term operating performance and
financial policy.

The last rating action for Pioneer took place on October 2, 2009,
when Moody's downgraded the company's issuer rating from B1 to B2
with negative outlook.

Pioneer Corporation, headquartered in Kanagawa, is a leading
manufacturer of car electronics and home electronics products.


PIONEER CORP: S&P Changes Outlook on 'B+' Rating to Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised to stable from negative
its outlook on its 'B+' long-term corporate credit rating on
Pioneer Corp.  The action reflects Feb. view that uncertainty over
Pioneer's funding plans over the next 12 to 24 months has
diminished, based on growing signs that the company's business
performance is bottoming out and that it is progressing in making
concrete funding plans.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B+'
long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured ratings on the
company.

Under plans to completely withdraw from the plasma TV business --
a segment that has continued to incur substantial losses -- within
fiscal 2009 (ending March 31, 2010), Pioneer has been allocating
greater management resources to its car electronics business.  It
also has been conducting large-scale structural reforms, such as
slimming down its domestic and overseas production and sales
systems, and making sizable personnel reductions.  As a result,
S&P sees the deterioration in Pioneer's business performance as
nearing an end, evidenced by the operating profits posted by the
company in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2009, its first profit in
seven quarters.  In addition, Pioneer is making progress in
planning concrete funding activities, which include raising
capital through a public stock offering and a third party
allocation, and to dispose of assets, such as the sale of its
former headquarters.  S&P also sees clearer indications that the
company's relationships with creditor banks have been stabilizing.
Given Pioneer's redemption of JPY60 billion in convertible bonds
due March 2011, uncertainty over the company's funding for the
next 12 to 24 months was strong.  However, Standard & Poor's
concluded that this uncertainty has diminished based on the
company's business bottoming out and the progress it is making
with fundraising plans.

Standard & Poor's will continue to scrutinize Pioneer's funding
plans, such as capital raising measures and asset disposals, its
business performance for fiscal 2009 (ending March 31, 2010), as
well as its business strategies and financial policies for fiscal
2010 and onward.  The rating may see upward movement if S&P sees
Pioneer as highly likely to implement its funding plans and
improve its financial position in the medium term by stabilizing
its business.  Conversely, the rating may come under downward
pressure if the uncertainty over Pioneer's funding increases again
or S&P sees its financial position as likely to further
deteriorate due to considerable losses for fiscal 2010 stemming
from reduced business growth.

DOOSAN HEAVY: Annual Loss Widens to KRW328 Billion
--------------------------------------------------
The Korea Herald, citing Yonhap News, reports that Doosan Heavy
Industries & Construction Co. said its earnings dropped last year
on increased costs and loss from equity ties with affiliates.

The Herald says net loss reached KRW328 billion last year,
compared with a loss of KRW65.9 billion a year earlier.  Sales
increased 10% to KRW6.28 trillion over the cited period, and
operating income dropped 15% to KRW404 billion, the report notes.

Based in South Korea, Doosan Heavy Industry & Construction Co.
(SEO:034020) -- http://www.doosanheavy.com--  is engaged in
supplying industrial facilities to both domestic and international
plant markets.


HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR: Numonyx-Micron Deal Has Adverse Effect
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that NH Investment & Securities Co. said
Thursday that Micron Technology Inc.'s $1.27 billion acquisition
of Numonyx Holdings BV will be "negative" to Hynix Semiconductor
Inc.

Bloomberg says Hynix and Numonyx currently operate a chipmaking
venture in China and have an agreement to cooperate on developing
NAND flash-memory technology.

Seo Won Seok, an analyst at NH Investment in Seoul who rates Hynix
"buy", wrote in a note that he expects "Hynix's cooperation with
Numonyx will be difficult to continue after this acquisition,"
Bloomberg relates.

Dow Jones Newswires reports that Hynix didn't rule out the
possibility that it could end its partnership with Numonyx.

"We don't anticipate a significant impact even if the partnership
ends," Dow Jones cited Hynix in a statement.

According to Dow Jones, Hynix also said it is currently
considering whether it should buy back the Numonyx stake, adding
such a move could temporarily burden its financial position.

                  Falls on Stake Sale Speculations

Bloomberg reports that Hynix fell in Seoul trading on speculation
creditors may not attract bidders for their stake by today's
[February 12] deadline.  Hynix, says Bloomberg, also fell on
concern that Numonyx may not be able to continue cooperation with
the chipmaker after its purchase by Micron.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Nov. 27, 2009, Hynix Semiconductor's creditors re-invited fresh
bids for the sale of a combined 28% holding in the chipmaker and
received letters of intent from potential investors by January
after Hyosung Corp. dropped its bid.

Hynix's creditors last week extended the deadline for accepting
bids for a controlling stake in the memory chipmaker until
February 12 after failing to receive any bids by the January 29
deadline.

Dow Jones News reported that a person familiar with the matter
said the creditors may consider a block sale if bidding fails for
the second time, which analysts agree is the right move.

The stake sale, which is estimated to be worth KRW4.5 trillion, is
being managed by Credit Suisse Ltd., Woori Investment & Securities
Co. and state-run Korea Development Bank.

                         CEO to Step Down

Hynix Semiconductor creditors said Wednesday that the company's
incumbent head is set to step down after three years, according to
Yonhap News.

The news agency relates that Kim Jong-kap, former vice minister of
the Ministry Commerce, Industry and Energy, now merged into the
Ministry of Knowledge Economy, was hired to take the helm of Hynix
in March 2007 with a tenure of three years.

                           About Hynix

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Jan. 27, 2010, Moody's Investors Service changed to stable from
negative the outlook for Hynix Semiconductor Inc's B1 corporate
family and senior unsecured bond ratings.  The rating action has
been prompted by the sharp rebound in the company's operating
performance and improved liquidity profile.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, on Nov. 17, 2009, revised to
stable from negative the outlook on its long-term corporate credit
rating on Hynix Semiconductor Inc. following the recovery of the
DRAM market and the company's profitability.  At the same time,
Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'B+' long-term corporate and 'B'
senior unsecured debt ratings on Hynix.


HYUNDAI MOTOR: To Name Vice Chairman Chung as Executive Director
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Motor Co. said Wednesday its board decided to name Vice
Chairman Chung Eui-sun as an executive director, Yonhap News
reports.

The appointment of 39-year-old Chung, the only son of Hyundai
Motor Chairman Chung Mong-koo, to the role of executive director
is subject to approval by shareholders, Yonhap relates citing
Hyundai's regulatory filing.

If approved, says Yonhap, the junior Chung will replace Hyundai
Motor Vice Chairman Lee Jeong-dae at the company's board.

Hyundai will hold an annual shareholders' meeting on March 12,
Yonhap notes.

The TCR-AP reported on December 11, 2009, that Fitch Ratings
revised the Outlook on Hyundai Motor's and Kia Motors' foreign
currency Long-term Issuer Default Ratings to Positive from
Negative, and simultaneously affirmed them at 'BB+'.  The agency
also affirmed the 'BB+' rating on both companies' senior unsecured
debt and the Short-term IDRs at 'B'.

HMC's and Kia's Long-term IDR was downgraded to 'BB+' with
Negative Outlook in January 2009, due to concerns that the global
auto market downturn would negatively impact the profitability and
key credit metrics of the companies to an extent that is not
commensurate to investment grade levels.


KUMHO ASIANA: Creditors to Provide Fresh Loans on Two Units
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Korea Development Bank said that the creditor banks of ailing
Kumho Asiana Group have decided to offer KRW380 billion (US$326
million) in fresh loan to the group's two units under a debt
rescheduling scheme, TradingMarkets.com reports.

KDB, the group's main creditor, said the creditors will lend
KRW280 billion to Kumho Industrial Co., the report says.  They
will also provide KRW100 billion in fresh loan to Kumho Tire Co.
and open a line of credit worth up to US$30 million for the tire
producer, KDB said.

According to the report, the creditors' decision came after the
family owners of the group agreed Monday with creditors to put up
their entire stake in the group's affiliates as collateral to
ensure its survival.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reports that Yonhap News said Kumho
Tire's labor union declined to support a layoff plan as requested
by creditors.

The Korean-language news agency, citing bank and labor union
officials that it didn't identify, reported that the pledge is
part of prerequisites for creditors to provide KRW100 billion in
fresh loans and US$30 million in credits for goods purchases,
according to Bloomberg.

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 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.  Kumho Tire's net debt stood at KRW1.71
trillion at the end of September 2009.

NORTEL NETWORKS: LG-Nortel, Acton to Launch JV in N. America
------------------------------------------------------------
LG-Nortel, a Korean global telecommunications solution provider
and Accton Technology Corporation, a Taiwanese global
telecommunications equipment company, announced that they signed
an agreement to form a joint venture that will offer voice and

(SMBs) and large enterprises.

The agreement was signed in Hsinchu, Taiwan by Jae Ryung Lee,

and Accton Group will own 40%.  The new company will be
tentatively named Edgecore Networks Inc., which was a subsidiary
of Accton and a specialized North American sales company for
network solutions.  And the joint venture will be established by

market.  This partnership will provide significant new
opportunities to reinforce our brand, increasing our global

opportunities and challenges of the converged communications
market."

"The establishment of this joint venture will significantly
enhance LG-Nortel's presence in North America," said Leith Tessy,
chief operating officer of LG-Nortel.  "Businesses have more
complex communications challenges than ever, and the combination
of our companies' respective strengths will provide an
unparalleled opportunity to help them meet those challenges."

"The demands of North American customers are directly connected to
the overall trend towards global communication," said Huang.  "The
brand value and voice platform technology that LG-Nortel provides,
paired with Accton's distribution and manufacturing capacity, and
our local network reach, will make this joint venture a powerful
combination that will deliver significant benefits for companies
across North America."

North America's highly-competitive SMB telecommunications solution
is expected to comprise 27% (US$5.7B) of the global market in
2010.  Through the joint venture, LG-Nortel will bring its
telecommunications solutions directly to the North American
SMB and enterprise market.  With a broad portfolio including LG-

venture will help both companies strengthen their position in the
highly competitive convergence market.

* Moody's Expects Default Rate to Decline Sharply in 2010
---------------------------------------------------------
Overall, a record-high 261 Moody's-rated corporate issuers
defaulted globally on a total $328.9 billion of debt in 2009, up
from $280.6 billion in 2008, said Moody's Investors Service in its
23rd annual default study.  "In contrast to 2008, when bank and
financial institution defaults accounted for 80% of total default
volume, non-financial defaulters drove default volume in 2009?
accounting for roughly 75% of volume and 80% of defaulted
issuers," says Moody's Director of Default Research Kenneth Emery.

Moody's default rate forecasting model, under its baseline
scenario, now projects that the speculative-grade default rate
will fall sharply to 3.3% by the fourth quarter of 2010.  "The
sharp forecasted drop in the default rate assumes an ongoing
economic recovery and stable credit spreads through 2010.  Under a
more pessimistic scenario, however, where the current economic
recovery falters and credit spreads move higher, the default rate
would fall to only 7.2%," Emery said.

"Moody's forecasting model has performed quite well in this cycle,
especially relative to other models and commentators.  In January
2009, when the default rate stood at 4.4%, the baseline forecast
was for a 15% default rate at year-end 2009?compared to the 13%
that materialized.  And as far back as January 2009, Moody's model
signaled the default rate would peak in November 2009 and be
followed by substantial declines in 2010," added Emery.

The default rate for all rated corporate issuers rose to 5.4% at
the end of 2009 from 2.0% at year-end 2008.

Measured on a dollar volume basis, Moody's global speculative-
grade bond default rate ended 2009 at 15.6%, up from 2008's level
of 5.9%. Among all Moody's-rated issuers, the volume-weighted
default rate increased from 2.2% in 2008 to 2.6% in 2009.

Across regions, 200 of 2009's defaulters were North American
issuers (191 in the U.S and 9 in Canada) with defaulted debt
volumes totaling $291.0 billion. In Europe, 30 Moody's-rated
corporate issuers defaulted on $15.5 billion of debt. The
remaining defaulters were Latin-American and Asian issuers.

The average recovery rate for defaulted senior unsecured bonds, as
measured by post-default trading prices, rose to 37.7% in 2009
from 33.8% in 2008.  The increase was triggered by higher recovery
rates for distressed exchange defaults.  Excluding distressed
exchanges, the average senior unsecured bond recovery rate in 2009
was a low 25.4%.

Recovery Rates, 1920-2009," is available at www.moodys.com.

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.
