AINSWORTH ENG'G: Liquidation Left Workers With Unpaid Entitlement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Louise Thrower at Goulburn Post reports that some 40 employees of
Ainsworth Engineering Group Pty Ltd were not paid their
outstanding entitlements. Instead, the workers, left out of work
by the firm's liquidation, will have to apply to the federal
government for the money.
The steel manufacturer, which had operations in Mazamet Rd, was
placed under voluntary administration in May, with debts of
AUD2.2 million, Goulburn Post discloses.
According to the report, despite earlier hopes Ainsworth could
trade out of difficulties, major secured creditor, the National
Bank called in its $1.6 million debt. Administrator SmithHancock
then tried unsuccessfully to sell the business, the report notes.
"We had a number of parties express interest when it was
advertised, but there were no offers," Goulburn Post quotes
partner Mike Smith as saying. "As a result, the company was
liquidated and wound up."
Plant and equipment was sold at auction, according to Goulburn
Post. Mr. Smith said the sale auction recouped more than
expected but declined to say how much, the report notes.
Goulburn Post notes that Mr. Smith did not expect unsecured
creditors to receive their money. He could not say how much they
were owed. Workers are in the same category. Mr. Smith said the
workers have been given forms to apply for their entitlements
under the government's General Employee Entitlements and
Redundancy Scheme, the report relays.
Mr. Smith said Ainsworth's difficulties came down to the economy
and "some losses on big jobs."
"As liquidators, we have duties to fulfil, that is, to
investigate the company's affairs and report to the Australian
Securities and
Investment Commission," Mr. Smith related.
About Ainsworth Engineering
Based in Goulburn, New South Wales, Ainsworth Engineering Group
Pty Ltd offered a range of services including; precision and
heavy machining, all aspects of fabrication, onsite teams for
construction and maintenance, special project design and
development.

AMBICA PAPERS: CRISIL Assigns CRISIL B Rating to INR40MM LT Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B/Stable' rating to the proposed
long-term bank loan facility and secured overdraft against term
deposit facility of Ambica Papers Pvt Ltd, while reaffirming its
ratings on APPL's other bank facilities at 'CRISIL
B/Stable/CRISIL A4'.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR40.00 Million Proposed LT CRISIL B/Stable
(Assigned)
Bank Loan Facility
INR35.00 Million Secured Overdraft CRISIL B/Stable
(Assigned)
against Term Deposit
INR50.00 Million Cash Credit CRISIL B/Stable
(Reaffirmed)
INR25.00 Million Letter of Credit CRISIL A4 (Reaffirmed)
(Reduced from INR50 million)
The ratings continue to reflect APPL's weak financial risk
profile marked by small net worth, high external indebtedness
(ratio of total outside liabilities [TOL] to tangible net worth
[TNW]), and weak interest coverage ratio. The rating also factors
in APPL's sizeable receivables and small scale of operations in
the paper industry. These rating weaknesses are partially offset
by the benefits that APPL derives from the experience of its
promoters in the paper industry and its negligible inventory
risks.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that APPL's financial risk profile will remain
weak over the medium term because of small revenues and high
gearing. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if APPL's
liquidity improves, most likely driven by an improvement in
working capital cycle or a sharp improvement in profitability.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if APPL's
profitability declines, or in case the company is unable to
replace its debt with its funds, in the backdrop of an increasing
interest rate scenario, thereby preventing any improvement in its
capital structure and leading to increased pressure on its credit
risk profile.
Update
APPL's performance in 2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1
to March 31) has been in line with CRISIL's expectations. For
2010-11, APPL reported an operating income of INR40 million from
the newsprint paper indenting business (undertook no trading
activity during the year) and an operating margin of 20%. In
2010-11, the company's average commission rate decreased to 4.2%
from 4.9% in the previous year, as it shared a part of the
newsprint paper price rise with paper mills and publishers.
However, any steep correction in margins was arrested by increase
in indenting volumes to 27,000 tonnes from 21,840 tonnes in 2009-
10.
APPL continues to fund its large working capital requirements
with debt. APPL has access to fund-based working capital lines of
INR85 million (enhanced from INR75 million in September 2010),
which had an utilization level of about 85% during the 15 months
ended June 30, 2011. APPL's promoters extended INR1.8 million to
the company in 2010-11 (the amount continues to be treated as
quasi equity, as it is subordinated to bank debt, is interest-
free, and is expected to be retained over the long term),
bringing the total of such loans to INR10.3 million as on March
31, 2011. APPL has high external indebtedness - it had a high
ratio of TOL to TNW of 5.5 times and a net worth of INR40 million
as on March 31, 2011. Large quantum of interest outflow on debt
resulted in a weak interest coverage ratio of 1.2 times for 2010-
11. The company proposes to reduce its working capital facilities
to INR50 million from INR85 million and make up for the shortfall
by promoter's funds of around INR25 million and concentrated
efforts towards reducing credit period offered to customers.
APPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR0.28 million on net
sales of INR32.6 million for 2010-11, as against a PAT of INR0.79
million on net sales of INR61.4 million for 2009-10.
About Ambica Papers
APPL was formed in 1996 by taking over the business of a
proprietorship firm formed earlier by the company's current
promoter Mr. Vasudeo Haripurkar. APPL is an indenting agent in
newsprint paper - it arranges for sale of paper from the
manufacturers to the publishers, and earns commission on the
same. The company pays the manufacturer on behalf of the buyer,
and extends credit to the buyer. In 2009-10 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31), in addition to indenting business, it
traded in writing and printing paper.
ANJANI COTTON: CRISIL Rates INR90MM Cash Credit at 'CRISIL B+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B+/Stable' rating to the cash
credit facility of Anjani Cotton Industries.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR90 Million Cash Credit CRISIL B+/Stable (Assigned)
The rating reflects ACI's weak financial risk profile, marked by
high gearing and weak debt protection metrics, presence in the
fragmented cotton industry leading to low bargaining power,
limited pricing flexibility, and vulnerability of margins to
volatility in raw material prices. The firm's business risk
profile and profitability are also susceptible to government
policy. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
extensive experience of ACI's partners in the cotton industry.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that ACI will benefit over the medium term from
its partners' extensive industry experience. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if there is a substantial improvement in
the firm's revenues, while maintaining its profitability, or if
there is a substantial improvement in its net worth on the back
of capital additions by the partners. Conversely, the outlook may
be revised to 'Negative' if the firm's profitability declines
sharply from the current levels or if ACI's financial risk
profile weakens due to larger-than-expected working capital
requirements.
About Anjani Cotton
ACI was established in 2000 by Mr. Shaileshleshbhai Patel,
Jagdishkumar Patel, Sanjay Patel and Ranchhodbhai Patel as a
partnership firm. The firm was purchased by Mr. Vipul Kumar
Shantilal, Mr. Chunilal Ramjibhai, Mr. Rajeshkumar Shivlalbhai
Ghodasara, and Mr. Shivlalbhai Vishrambhai in 2008. ACI is
engaged in ginning of raw cotton (kapas) to make cotton bales.
The firm sells cotton bales to various traders and the cotton
seed is sold to various oil mills in the plant's vicinity. The
firm has a manufacturing facility in Lalpur (Gujarat), which had
an initial capacity of 350 cotton bales per day. The capacity was
increased to 500 cotton bales per day in August 2011 at a total
cost of INR6 million. The capital expenditure was funded through
fresh capital infusion by partners of INR5 million and the
balance through internal accruals.
ACI reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR2.6 million on net
sales of INR1078 million for 2010-11 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), as against a PAT of INR1.8 million on net
sales of INR646 million for 2009-10.
ARORA MATTHEY: CRISIL Assigns 'CRISIL BB' Rating to INR120MM Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+' ratings to
the bank facilities of Arora Matthey Ltd.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR120 Million Cash Credit CRISIL BB/Stable (Assigned)
INR45 Million Bank Guarantee CRISIL A4+ (Assigned)
The ratings reflect AML's healthy financial risk profile, marked
by low gearing and healthy debt protection metrics, and
promoters' extensive experience in manufacturing precious metal
products. These rating strengths are partially offset by AML's
vulnerability to volatility in raw material prices, small scale
of operations, low operating margin, and working-capital-
intensive operations.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that AML will continue to benefit from promoters'
extensive industry experience, over the medium term. The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if AML increases its scale of
operations and improves its profitability significantly.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if AML
undertakes larger-than-expected debt-funded capital expenditure
programme or faces significant pressure on revenues and margins.
About Arora Matthey
Incorporated in 1964, AML was set up as a joint venture between
the Arora family (51%) and the UK-based Johnson Matthey Plc
(49%). However, in the late 2000s, Johnson Matthey Plc set up its
own unit in Mumbai (Maharashtra) and separated from AML in March
2011; AML is currently wholly owned by the Arora family.
AML manufactures precious metal products that are used in various
industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgical,
and electrical. The company has divided its product line into
three segments - catalysts (constitutes around 50% of the total
turnover), predominantly used in the pharmaceutical industry;
precious metal engineered products (30% of turnover), and
precious metal chemical products that are used in pharmaceutical
and electroplating industries.
AML's profit after tax and net sales are estimated at INR47.9
million and INR543.7 million respectively for 2010-11 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31); the company reported a net
loss of INR0.1 million on net sales of INR 458.4 million for
2009-10.
BILDON STEELS: CRISIL Assigns 'CRISIL D' Rating to INR100MM Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL D' rating to the bank facilities
of Bildon Steels (India) Ltd.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR100 Million Cash Credit CRISIL D (Assigned)
INR100 Million Long-Term Loan CRISIL D (Assigned)
INR60 Million Letter of Credit CRISIL D (Assigned)
The rating reflects instances of delay by BSIL in servicing its
debt; the delays have been caused by the company's weak
liquidity.
BSIL also has a weak financial risk profile, marked by a high
gearing, small net worth, and weak debt protection metrics. This
rating weakness is partially offset by the extensive experience
of BSIL's promoters in the steel industry.
About Bildon Steels
BSIL commenced operations in April 2009 and manufactures steel
ingots and thermo-mechanically treated (TMT) bars. The company is
promoted by Mr. P Mohammed Shereef, Mr. P Mohammed Mustafa, and
their family members. BSIL's manufacturing facilities are located
in Tirupur District (Tamil Nadu) and have installed capacity to
produce 30,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of ingots and 54,000 tpa of
TMT bars.
BSIL reported a provisional net loss of INR50 million on net
sales of INR403 million for 2010-11 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), as against a net loss of INR25 million on
net sales of INR127 million for 2009-10.
ELECTRO TEKNICA: CRISIL Reaffirms 'CRISIL BB' Cash Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of Electro Teknica
Switchgears Pvt Ltd continue to reflect ESPL's moderate financial
risk profile, marked by a low gearing, and the extensive industry
experience of the company's promoters.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR15.00 Million Cash Credit CRISIL BB/Stable
(Reaffirmed)
INR5.00 Mil. Letter of Credit CRISIL A4+ (Reaffirmed)
INR45.00 Million Bank Guarantee CRISIL A4+ (Reaffirmed)
These rating strengths are partially offset by ESPL's small scale
of operations, large working capital requirements, and exposure
to intense competition in the electrical equipment industry and
to the tender-based nature of the company's business.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that ESPL will benefit over the medium term from
its promoter's industry experience and its moderate order book.
The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the company registers
significant growth in its revenues and profitability, thereby
strengthening its financial risk profile. Conversely, the outlook
may be revised to 'Negative' if ESPL faces significant delays in
recovery of debtors, or if it undertakes a large, debt-funded
capacity expansion programme, leading to stress on its debt
protection metrics.
Update
ESPL's net sales are estimated to have increased by a year-on-
year (YoY) rate of 12% in 2010-11 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31). The company has an order book of about
INR200 million, which is to be executed over the next 12 months.
ESPL reported an estimated operating margin of about 4.2% (about
20 basis points lower on YoY basis) for 2010-11, largely because
of higher commodity prices during the year (copper tubes and
steel used as raw material). The company's profit after tax (PAT)
margins are estimated at 2.0% for 2010-11, in line with the
previous year. ESPL has a moderate liquidity with moderate bank
limit utilization of 76% on average between January 2011 and June
2011. The company's net cash accruals are expected to be between
INR15 million and INR2 million over the medium term; it has no
term debt obligations.
ESPL's PAT and operating income is estimated at INR4.7 million
and INR234.7 million respectively for 2010-11; the company
reported a PAT of INR4.1 million on net sales of INR208.7 million
for
2009-10.
About Electro Teknica
ESPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vijai Electricals Ltd (rated
'CRISIL BBB-/Negative/CRISIL A3'), was set up in 1988, and
commenced commercial operations in 1989. ESPL manufactures high-
voltage switchgears and dry-type transformers. The company is
managed by its promoter Mr. D K Majumdar, who has over two
decades of experience in the same line of business.
GOLDEN TEXO: CRISIL Places 'CRISIL BB-' Rating to INR94MM Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL BB-/Stable' rating to the long-
term bank facilities of Golden Texo Fabs Ltd.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR186.5 Million Cash Credit CRISIL BB-/Stable (Assigned)
Facility
INR94 Million Term Loan CRISIL BB-/Stable (Assigned)
INR276.2 Million Proposed LT CRISIL BB-/Stable (Assigned)
Bank Loan Facility
The rating reflects GTFL's promoters' extensive experience in the
home furnishing industry and expected improvement in its business
risk profile, marked by increase in scale of operations after on-
going capital expenditure (capex). These rating strengths are
partially offset by GTFL's constrained financial risk profile
because of ongoing debt-funded capex, and susceptibility of
margins to volatility in raw material prices and intense market
competition.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that GTFL will maintain its business risk profile
over the medium term, supported by promoters' experience in home
furnishing industry and expected increase in its scale of
operations. Its financial risk profile is expected to remain
constrained because of its ongoing debt-funded capex and pressure
on margins. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if GTFL
scales up its operations significantly, while maintaining its
profitability, leading to increase in cash accruals, and
consequently, improved financial risk profile. Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the company's operating
margin declines or if its capital structure weakens, because of
cost overrun in its ongoing project, increase in working capital
borrowings, or fresh investments in group entities.
About Golden Texo
GTFL was incorporated in 1991 as a closely held company. The
company manufactures mink and polar blankets, bed sheets, and
other home-furnishing products. The majority of its sales come
from mink blankets. The company is promoted by Chugh family and
currently Mr. Vedprakash Chug is the managing director.
The company's manufacturing units are located in Panipat
(Haryana), with a combined capacity of 5000 tonnes per annum
(tpa). The majority of the company's sales happen through
distributors, mainly in North India. The company has plans to
double its manufacturing capacity in the next two years, with a
total capex of INR300 million (debt-equity ratio of 3:1).
GTFL reported a net profit of INR6.1 million on net sales of
INR727 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31), against a net profit of INR4.2 million on net sales of
INR444 million for 2008-09. The company has achieved net sales of
INR1,008 million for 2010-11 on provisional basis.
KALP DIAMONDS: CRISIL Reaffirms CRISIL BB- Rating on INR80MM Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Kalp Diamonds continues
to reflect the extensive experience of Kalp's promoters in the
diamond industry. This rating strength is partially offset by
Kalp's modest scale of operations in the diamond industry, and
average financial risk profile.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR80.0 Million Post-Shipment Credit CRISIL BB-/Stable
(Reaffirmed)
INR40.0 Million Export Packing Credit CRISIL BB-/Stable
(Reaffirmed)
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that Kalp will continue to benefit over the
medium term from its promoters' extensive industry experience and
its established relations with its customers. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if there is a significant and sustained
increase in Kalp's revenues and profitability margins, or there
is a substantial improvement in the firm's net worth. Conversely,
the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case there is a steep
decline in Kalp's profitability margins from the current levels,
or if there is deterioration in the firm's financial risk profile
because of larger-than-expected working capital requirements.
Update
Kalp's revenues increased by around 15% in 2010-11 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31) to INR593 million, and the
firm's operating margin also increased to 3.9% from 2.7% in
2009-10. Kalp's operations remain working capital intensive with
high gross current asset (GCA) days of around 200 days as on
March 31, 2011; the high GCA days mainly emanate from the firm's
high receivables cycle of around 150 days. On account of the
large working capital requirements, the average bank limit
utilization was high at 96% for the 12 months through June 2011.
Kalp's net worth was moderate at around INR130 million as on
March 31, 2011, and the firm's total outside liabilities to
tangible net worth remained comfortable at 1.4 times as on the
same date.
Kalp reported a provisional profit after tax (PAT) of INR8.6
million on net sales of INR593 million for 2010-11, against a PAT
of INR3.8 million on net sales of INR521 million 2009-10.
About Kalp Diamonds
Set up as partnership firm in 1995 by Mr. Anandlal Shah and his
family, Kalp processes, and trades in, rough and polished
diamonds. Currently, Mr. Anandlal Shah looks after the
manufacturing operations of Kalp in Surat (Gujarat). His son,
Mr. Bhavik A Shah, and son-in-law, Mr. Jayesh Shah, look after
the procurement and marketing aspects of the business in Mumbai
(Maharashtra).
MEDI DRIPS: CRISIL Cuts Rating on INR315.7MM Loan to 'CRISIL D'
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has downgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Medi
Drips Carriers Pvt Ltd, which is a part of the Jai Dada group, to
'CRISIL D/CRISIL D' from 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+ '.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR70 Million Cash Credit CRISIL D (Downgraded from
'CRISIL BB-/Stable')
INR315.7 Mil. Long Term Loan CRISIL D (Downgraded from
'CRISIL BB-/Stable')
INR5 Million Bank Guarantee CRISIL D (Downgraded from
'CRISIL A4+')
The downgrade reflects instances of delay by Medi Drips in
servicing its term loan installments; the delays have been caused
by Medi Drips' weak liquidity.
About Medi Drips
Medi Drips was incorporated in 1996, and promoted by the Dayama
family of Kolkata. The company is part of the Jai Dada group,
which provides freight transportation services for various
industries, including chemicals, petrochemicals, steel and
energy. Medi Drips operates a fleet of Volvo luxury buses (under

MOTELS & INFRA: CRISIL Rates INR95MM Long-Term Loan at 'CRISIL D'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL D' rating to the long term loan
facility of Motels & Infrastructure India Pvt Ltd.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR95 Million Long-Term Loan CRISIL D (Assigned)
The rating reflects instances of delay by MIIPL in servicing its
debt; the delays have been caused by the company's weak
liquidity.
MIIPL also has a below-average financial risk profile, marked by
high gearing and weak debt protection metrics. The company is
also exposed to risk related to geographical concentration in its
revenue profile and is susceptible to intense competition and
cyclicality in hotel industry. However, the company benefits from
the prime location of its hotel and its tie-ups with corporate
clients.
About Motels & Infrastructure
MIIPL operates a three-star hotel in Mangalore (Karnataka) with
56 rooms (42 superior rooms, five executive rooms, four executive
plus rooms, and three suites). It also has three multi-specialty
restaurants, two banquet halls, and a bar. The property was taken
over from its previous promoters by Mr. Prakash Shetty in 2004.
The hotel commenced operations in August 2007. Goldfinch Hotels
Pvt Ltd (GHPL) is the flagship company of the MRG group (of which
MIIPL is part), promoted by Mr. Prakash Shetty. GHPL was
incorporated in 2000 and commenced operations in 2004. It
operates a three-star boutique hotel in Bangalore (Karnataka).
MIIPL's hotel operates under the Goldfinch brand. The company has
a strong clientele with reputed companies, such as Infosys
Technologies Ltd (rated 'CRISIL AAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'), GMR
Energy Limited, Kingfisher Airlines Limited, State Bank of India
(rated 'CRISIL AAA/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'), and Lanco Infratech
Ltd (rated 'CRISIL BBB+/Negative/CRISIL A2')
MIIPL reported, on provisional basis, a net loss of INR13 million
on net sales of INR 86 million for 2010-11 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31); the company reported a net profit of
INR4 million on net sales of INR78 million for 2009-10.
NAMISON POWERTECH: CRISIL Puts 'CRISIL B-' Rating on INR30MM Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL B-/Stable/CRISIL A4' ratings to
the bank facilities of Namison Powertech Pvt Ltd.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR30 Million Cash Credit CRISIL B-/Stable (Assigned)
INR10 Million Bill Discounting CRISIL B-/Stable (Assigned)
INR10 Million Letter of Credit CRISIL A4 (Assigned)
The ratings reflect NPPL's short track record and small scale of
operations, limited revenue diversity, and weak financial risk
profile, marked by a high gearing, small net worth, and weak debt
protection metrics. These rating weaknesses are partially offset
by the steady demand for NPPL's products and its association with
Suzlon Group.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that NPPL will benefit over the medium term from
the favorable demand for its products. The outlook may be revised
to 'Positive' if the company strengthens its order book, while
significantly improving its financial risk profile. Conversely,
the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if NPPL's order book
shrinks or if its financial risk profile deteriorates due to
stretched working capital or large, additional debt-funded
capital expenditure.
About Namison Powertech
Incorporated in 2009, NPPL manufactures transformer core from
imported cold-rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) sheets and scraps.

NPPL reported a net loss of INR1.4 million on net sales of
INR24.3 million for 2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1 to
March 31), as against net loss of INR0.6 million on net sales of
INR12.1 million for 2009-10.
PLYMEX TIMBER: CRISIL Reaffirms 'CRISIL BB-' Foreign LOC Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of Plymex Timber Pvt Ltd
continue to reflect the benefits that Plymex derives from its
promoters' experience in the timber trading business. This rating
strength is partially offset by Plymex's weak financial risk
profile, resulting from low profitability and net worth, and
exposure to intense competition in the timber industry.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR50 Million Foreign Letter CRISIL BB-/Stable (Reaffirmed)

Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that Plymex will continue to benefit over the
medium term from its promoter's business experience. The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if the company reports better
profitability and working capital management leading to higher-
than-expected cash flow from operations. Conversely, the outlook
may be revised to 'Negative' if Plymex undertakes large, debt-
funded capital expenditure programmes or acquisitions, leading to
deterioration in its financial risk profile.
About Plymex Timber

Bengal)-based Plymex trades in timber. Mr. Jain has over two
decades of experience in the timber industry, through other

sales of INR334 million for 2009-10.
R D SAMANT: CRISIL Reaffirms 'CRISIL BB+' Rating on INR9.3MM Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's ratings on the bank facilities of RD Samant Contractors
Pvt Ltd continue to reflect the benefits that RDSCPL derives from
its promoter's experience in the road construction sector and its
good order book, with margins protected by price escalation
clause.
Facilities Ratings

INR120.0 Million Cash Credit CRISIL BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)

Facility
These ratings strengths are partially offset by RDSCPL's small
scale of operations with geographic and customer concentration,
and working-capital-intensive operations.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that RDSCPL will maintain its financial risk
profile, supported by adequate profitability, and continue to
benefit from its established regional position in the road
construction segment, over the medium term. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if RDSCPL significantly improves its scale
of operations and net worth, and manages to geographically
diversify its operations. Conversely, the outlook may be revised
to 'Negative' in case RDSCPL's liquidity weakens because of large
borrowings to meet working capital requirements, or larger-than-
expected capital expenditure, or deterioration in margins.
About RD Samant
RDSCPL was initially set up by Mr. Ravindra D Samant in 1993 as a
partnership firm. In 1999, it was reconstituted as a private
limited company led by Mr. R D Samant and his family. The company
constructs and repairs roads and bridges. RDSCPL primarily caters
to projects of public works departments (PWD) and other local
bodies in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts (both in
Maharashtra). RDSCPL is a PWD, Government-of-Maharashtra-

obtained Goa PWD registration to bid for work orders in the
state. Additionally, RDSCPL also undertakes contracts from
corporate clients such as Larsen &Toubro Ltd, Finolex India Ltd,
Chougule Port Infrastructure Ltd, and Pratibha Construction
Company.
For 2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31),
RDSCPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR17.9 million on
net sales of INR367.7 million, against a PAT of INR20.9 million
on net sales of INR438.2 million for 2009-10.
RKD CONSTRUCTION: CRISIL Puts CRISIL BB- Rating on INR100MM Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has upgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of RKD
Constructions Pvt Ltd to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+' from
'CRISIL B+/Stable/CRISIL A4'.
Facilities Ratings
---------- -------
INR100 Million Overdraft CRISIL BB-/Stable (Assigned)
INR650 Million Cash Credit CRISIL BB-/Stable (Upgraded
(Enhanced from INR250 Million) from 'CRISIL B+/Stable')
INR50 Million Standby Line of CRISIL BB-/Stable (Upgraded
Credit from 'CRISIL B+/Stable')
INR1150 Million Bank Guarantee CRISIL A4+ (Upgraded from
(Enhanced from INR516.60 Mil) 'CRISIL A4')
The upgrade reflects CRISIL's belief that RKD will sustain the
improvement in its financial risk profile over the medium term
supported by sizeable cash accruals which will be driven by a
healthy order book of about INR5.65 billion and steady
profitability. RKD's gearing is estimated at 1.4 times as on
March 31, 2011, an improvement from 2.1 times as on March 31,
2010, supported by an increase in the company's cash accruals in
2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31). The
upgrade also factors in CRISIL's belief that RKD's funding mix
for its debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) will be
judicious, ensuring that the company's capital structure remains
at similar levels, over the medium term.
The ratings reflect RKD's moderate financial risk profile, and
healthy order book providing revenue visibility over the near to
medium term. This rating strength is partially offset by RKD's
geographical concentration in the revenue profile, large working
capital requirements, and intense competition in the
infrastructure industry, particularly in the road segment.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that RKD will continue to benefit from its
buoyant order book and the promoters established presence in the
construction industry, over the medium term. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if RKD diversifies geographically while
improving its working capital management and profitability.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the
company's financial risk profile deteriorates, because of any
considerable delays in realization of receivables or sharp
decline in revenues and profitability, or higher than expected
debt-funded capital expenditure.
About RKD Constructions
RKD, led by Mr. Rohit Kumar Das, was set up as a proprietorship
firm in 1983 to undertake civil construction projects on a small
scale. It was incorporated as a private limited company in 1996.
RKD undertakes civil and infrastructure construction such as
building of roads and bridges, and irrigation works, in Orissa.
RKD reported a provisional profit after tax (PAT) of INR131
million on net sales of INR1850 million for 2010-11, against a
PAT of INR106 million on net sales of INR1413 million for 2009-
10.

INR190 Million Term Loan CRISIL B/Stable (Assigned)
INR10 Million Bank Guarantee CRISIL A4 (Assigned)
The ratings reflect the project risks associated with the project
currently undertaken by the company. The rating weakness is
partially offset by extensive business experience of the
promoters and support from the MLA group.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that SSCPL's business profile will to benefit
over the medium term from the long standing experience of the MLA
group across various industries. The outlook may be revised to
'Positive' in case of successful stabilization of the project and
generation of cash flows commensurate with the debt service
commitments. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative'
in case of any significant time or cost over-runs delays in
commissioning of the project.
About Sarada Starch
SSCPL was incorporated in February 2009 and is promoted by the
Agarwal family and the MLA group for setting up a plant for

SUPREME COT-SPIN: CRISIL Reaffirms 'CRISIL D' Cash Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------

liquidity.

Supreme Cot-Spin has a below-average financial risk profile,
marked by high gearing and moderate debt protection metrics, and
is exposed to risks associated with volatility in cotton and
cotton yarn prices and increasing power costs. CRISIL, however,
believes that the company will continue to benefit from the
extensive experience of its promoters in the textile industry.
About Supreme Cot-Spin
Incorporated in 2005 by Mr. R Gopalasamy, Supreme Cot-Spin is
part of the Supreme group. The company owns 16,800 spindles, and

For 2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31),
Supreme Cot-Spin reported a provisional profit of INR6.8 million
on net sales of INR309.1 million, against a profit after tax of
INR3.0 million on net sales of INR253.1 million for 2007-08.
TRIDENT MICROFIN: Gets Sued by Kotak Mahindra Over Loan Default
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Press Trust of India reports that Kotak Mahindra Bank has
slapped a legal notice on the Andhra Pradesh-based Trident
Microfin for defaulting on a loan it availed from the private
sector lender.
"We received a legal notice on October 14. We had taken a
INR4 crore loan from Kotak Bank and repaid INR2.6 crore but could
not service the remaining INR1.6 crore, hence the court notice,"
Trident Managing Director Kishore Kumar Puli told PTI. "They
have asked us to clear the dues within a fortnight," he added.
According to the news agency, the development could probably be
the first such step by a commercial bank against an microfinance
institution since the crisis gripped the INR20,000-crore MFI
sector last October, following a tough law passed by the Andhra
Pradesh government.
The state legislation came following a spate of suicides by
harried borrowers after MFI lenders reportedly used coercive
recovery practices, the report notes.
Mr. Puli stated the situation in Andhra Pradesh, the largest MFI
market, is still grim as repayment is under 5%.
Mr. Puli further said his loan book is worth INR134 crore and the
company has an outstanding debt obligation of INR150 crore from
around 23 banks, including SBI, ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank and Bank of
India, PTI notes.
"But the problem is that out of this INR134 crore loan book as
much as INR112 crore are in Andhra Pradesh alone," the report
quotes Mr. Puli as saying.
The legal notice is against the promoters of the MFI led by Puli
and five directors. The MFI started defaulting since January.
According to PTI, Trident is one of the five MFIs in Andhra
Pradesh that became part of a corporate debt restructuring (CDR)
plan, under which it had recast 25% of its debt of INR150 crore.
However, Kotak Mahindra was not part of Trident's CDR programme,
Mr. Puli said.
About Trident Microfin
Trident Microfin, formerly Annapurna Financial Services, a
microfinance institution, provides micro credit and micro
insurance solutions to low-income individuals and enterprises in
India. It was established in 2007 and had 2,55,000 customers at

The ratings reflect the extensive experience of VS's promoters in
the signalling contractor business. This rating strength is
partially offset by VS's average financial risk profile and the
modest scale of operations.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that VS will continue to benefit over the medium
term from its promoters' vast experience in the signalling
contracts business and its healthy order book. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if the firm improves its financial risk
profile, backed by higher-than-expected growth in operating
revenues and net cash accruals, while it maintains its operating
margin. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if
VS faces a significant drop in its revenues and profitability, or
if it undertakes a debt-funded capital expenditure programme,
leading to deterioration in its debt protection metrics.
About Vijaywargi and Sons
Set up as a partnership firm in 1979, VS is a signalling
contractor for Indian Railways; it also undertakes basic civil
work for Indian Railways and other entities such as Maharashtra
State Electricity Board and Vidarbha Irrigation Development

BAKRIE SUMATERA: S&P Lowers CCR to 'CC' over Refinancing Delays
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term
corporate credit rating on PT Bakrie Sumatera Plantations Tbk. to
'CC' from 'B-'. "We also lowered the issue rating on the $185
million senior secured notes issued by BSP Finance B.V. to 'CC'
from 'B-'. BSP irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the
notes. At the same time, we kept the ratings on CreditWatch,
where they were placed with negative implications on Aug. 17,
2011," S&P said.
"We lowered the ratings because BSP is yet to receive final
funding commitments from some of the participating banks,
including one of the lead arrangers," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Suzanne Smith. "The company continues to face
delays in finalizing and drawing down on a syndicated bank
loan to refinance the impending maturities of its notes."
"We believe such delays jeopardize BSP's ability to repay the
$185 million senior secured notes, which mature on Nov. 1, 2011,"
S&P related.
"If BSP addresses the funding gap by a distressed exchange, we
will assess the move as a de facto restructuring. We understand
that the lead arrangers are looking at ways to involve existing
bondholders to fill the funding gap," S&P said.
"We view BSP's liquidity as weak. BSP has a cash balance of about
Indonesian rupiah (IDR) 600 billion (about $66 million) as of
June 30, 2011, and we expect the company to generate funds from
operations of about IDR500 billion in 2011. These sources are
insufficient to meet the company's debt maturing over the next 12
months, including the principal repayment of $185 million
and accrued interest," S&P related.
"We aim to resolve the CreditWatch before or shortly after the
maturity date of the notes," said Ms. Smith. "We could lower the
corporate credit rating to 'SD' (for selective default) and the
issue rating on the notes to 'D' if the company defaults on the
notes. We could raise the rating if BSP secures sufficient
funding support in time and avoids defaulting on the bonds."

KIRAYAKA BANK: JCR Affirms 'BB+' Rating on Bonds
------------------------------------------------
Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd. (JCR) announces the following
credit rating.
Rationale
(1) Kirayaka Bank, Ltd. is a second regional bank headquartered
in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture with its fund volume
amounting JPY1.1 trillion. The Bank issued public preferred
shares amounting JPY20 billion in September 2009 based on the
Act on Special Measures for Strengthening Financial
Functions. The Bank entered into a basic agreement on start
of study on merger with The Sendai Bank, Ltd. via
establishment of a holding company in October 2010.
Initially, the two banks set time of management integration
in October 2011, but they postponed it to the earliest
possible time during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 in
order to give priority to focusing on support for restoration
from the quake.
(2) JCR placed the rating on senior debts of the Bank under
Credit Monitor with Positive direction on Oct. 26, 2010,
because JCR considered that financial structure of the Bank
might be strengthened by the management integration with The
Sendai Bank, Ltd. whose financial structure is better than
that of the Bank and the following improvement in management
efficiency. However, since quality of loan assets and equity
capital level of The Sendai Bank, Ltd. deteriorated after the
quake, JCR expects that financial structure of a new bank
group to be established by the management integration also
will be lower than that when JCR placed Credit Monitor.
Furthermore, given that there remains room for improvement in
the Bank's quality of loan assets and equity capital level,
JCR removed Credit Monitor and affirmed the rating on senior
debts of the Bank with "Stable" outlook. JCR considers that
creditworthiness of the Bank's group is equivalent to "BBB-"
which is the same as the standalone creditworthiness. Even
with the management integration being incorporated into the
rating at the moment fully, JCR does not think that the
"BBB-" rating on senior debts of the Bank will change.

NATIONAL FINANCE: Ex-Director Gets Six Years Jail Sentence
----------------------------------------------------------
Former Director of National Finance 2000 Limited Trevor Allan
Ludlow was sentenced to six years imprisonment in the Auckland
District Court on October 20, after being found guilty of false
accounting and theft by a person in a special relationship.
Mr. Ludlow was found guilty of seven charges under the Crimes Act
in July, following an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office
(SFO).
Mr. Ludlow was found to have breached the terms of the Trust Deed
under which National Finance operated, defrauding investors of an
estimated NZ$3.5 million. This included approximately NZ$2.7
million of unauthorized or unsecured advances made to his Payless
Car group of companies; as well as undisclosed related party
transactions totalling over NZ$800,000 to an audio company; a
property in Fiji; and land purchased for another company he
owned.
SFO Chief Executive Adam Feeley said, "Concluding investigations
and prosecutions of the failed finance companies has been our
number one priority for the past 18 months, and this sentence
reflects both the seriousness and importance of this work."
Mr. Feeley said one of SFO's primary objectives was to focus on
cases which would make a difference to restoring investor
confidence.
"Kiwi investors understand that criminal proceedings cannot
restore the losses they have suffered, but equally we believe
that they will take some confidence in knowing that those who
have so fundamentally breached investor trust can and will be
held to account."
In November 2010, John Gray, the former accountant for National
Finance, pleaded guilty to theft by a person in a special
relationship and one charge of false accounting. Mr. Gray was
sentenced to a term of 18 months imprisonment, later reduced
after an appeal to nine months home detention.
About National Finance
National Finance 2000 Ltd., whose core business was car finance,
was placed in receivership in May 2006, owing 2,000 investors
NZ$21 million. Trevor Allan Ludlow was the sole shareholder and
a director of the company. John Gray was employed by the company
as an accountant.
After considering a complaint received from the Receiver,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Serious Fraud Office determined that
an investigation into the affairs the National Finance 2000
Limited may disclose serious or complex fraud. An investigation
under Part One of the Serious Fraud Office Act was commenced on
June 30, 2006. This was elevated to a Part Two investigation on
May 8, 2007.
Charges were laid against Trevor Allan Ludlow and John Gray in
October 2009.
PIKE RIVER: Solid Energy Secures Ikamatua Rail Load-Out Sub-Lease
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
Solid Energy will take a sub-lease of the coal stockpile and rail
load-out facility at Ikamatua which was developed by Pike River
Coal.
In a judgment last week, the High Court in Wellington granted an
application by the Pike River Coal receivers to reinstate leases
the company had for the land the facility is built on. That had
the effect of cancelling lease arrangements the landowners had
made with Solid Energy after Pike River Coal went into
receivership.
However, the judgment also requires the receivers to sub-lease
the land and the stockpile and load-out facility to Solid Energy
for two years and Solid Energy has confirmed to the receivers
that it will do so.
Barry Bragg, Solid Energy's Chief Operating Officer, says the
decision is even-handed. "We are satisfied with the judgment,"
Mr. Bragg says. "We made lease arrangements with the landowners
because we believe the Ikamatua facility will add value to our
current and planned export coal operations. Having this two-year
lease will allow us to include the facility in our future plans.
Our objective is still to secure the lease for the full 25
years."
Mr. Bragg says Solid Energy absolutely rejects allegations about
its conduct made to the court by the receivers. "The court's
decision makes no findings on those allegations and allows Solid
Energy exclusive use of the facility for two years," Mr. Bragg
adds.

million to secured creditors BNZ and NZ Oil & Gas. Pike River
Coal also owed another estimated NZ$10 million to NZ$15 million

contractors, including some of the men who lost their lives in
the disaster.
ST LAURENCE LTD: Apple Fields Pays Substantial Amount
-----------------------------------------------------
BusinessDay.co.nz reports that Christchurch-based property
developer Apple Fields has settled on a substantial sum it
promised to the receivers of St Laurence Lending which in turn
will pay investors in the failed company.
Receiver for St Laurence Lending Barry Jordan said he could not
detail the final payment -- an owed guarantee -- but that the
substantial amount paid by Apple Fields would form part of a
final payment planned in the next six months for investors,
according to the report.
BusinessDay.co.nz says the Apple Fields payment was made around
the end of last month.
According to the report, St Laurence Lending investors had
already been given progress payments towards the return of more
than NZ$200 million of invested capital.
BusinessDay.co.nz relates that Mr. Jordan said they had been
repaid 12 cents in the dollar and would eventually receive
between 15 cents and 22c in the dollar, though probably at the
lower end of that range.
Mr. Jordan, as cited by BusinessDay.co.nz, said the money paid by
Apple Fields - a guarantee - would not substantially increase the
total payment, and would be combined with other money being
recovered by receivers.
The fact that Apple Fields and St Laurence Lending had concluded
an agreement became apparent in the High Court on October 18.
The court struck out an application for liquidation by St
Laurence, the report notes.

STRATEGIC FINANCE: Receivers Put Walter Peak Estate on the Block
----------------------------------------------------------------
The National Business Review reports that receivers for Strategic
Nominees, a division of Strategic Finance, have instructed
Harcourts to sell high profile Walter Peak Estate development in
a mortgage sale. Strategic Nominees is owed more than NZ$20
million on the project located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu.
NBR relates that the 38-hectare property was formerly owned by
bankrupt developer Rod Nielsen and Justin Russell's company,
Walter Peak Developments.
According to the report, Mr. Neilsen bought the land in 2006 for
NZ$10 million with the aim of building a luxury lodge, eight
homesteads and eight cottages. In 2008, his attempts to sell the
property failed and the company went into receivership and
liquidation.
The land sits next to Walter Peak High Country Farm, owned by
tourism company Real Journeys as a tourist attraction.
NBR says Walter Peak Estates has consent for construction of a
fully integrated "semi-wilderness experience" estate including a
lodge, manager's cottage, guest cottages, and luxury homesteads
along 820m of lake frontage.
The core development has been completed with Strategic Nominees,
a division of Strategic Finance, funding its receivers to
undertake landscaping works, the report discloses.
According to the report, Harcourts Queenstown agent
Warwick Osborne said he expected interest from developers,
investors, property syndicates, hotel/lodge operators, expat's
and land bankers.
"Properties like these are scarce in the world. The consent
process was involved and extreme, but is now complete, so the
purchaser will be able to move forward with the process," NBR
quotes Mr. Orbone as saying.
Two of the nine sites on the 38.16-hectare property are not part
of the mortgage sale, although possibly could be purchased at the
same time, the report notes.

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.
