GUNNS LTD: Appoints PPB Advisory as Voluntary Administrators
------------------------------------------------------------
On Sept. 25, 2012, the directors of Gunns Limited and its 35
entities, and the responsible entity of Gunns Plantations Limited
appointed Ian Carson, Daniel Bryant and Craig Crosbie of PPB
Advisory as Voluntary Administrators.
KordaMentha has also been appointed Receivers and Managers.
"PPB Advisory's appointment follows the Group's ongoing review of
the business with this review focusing on debt restructuring and
capital raising initiatives. Unfortunately these initiatives have
not materialized resulting in the Directors having concerns about
Gunns' ability to meet its ongoing financial obligations," PPB
said in a statement.
"Our priority at this time is to work closely with creditors,
growers and other stakeholders to determine the best outcome. We
are now undertaking an urgent review of the business and will
update all parties on our progress and next steps," Daniel Bryant
of PPB Advisory said.
Based in Launceston, Australia, Gunns Limited (ASX:GNS) --
http://www.gunns.com.au/-- is an hardwood and softwood forest
products company. It operates within three segments: Forest
products, Timber products and Other activities. Gunns has about
645 employees in Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia and Western
Australia. Gunns Plantations Limited (GPL) is a Responsible
Entity that manages 21 registered agricultural Managed Investment
Schemes (MIS) on behalf of investors (growers).
GUNNS LTD: Sale of Sawmills on Receivers' Top List
--------------------------------------------------
Rebecca Urban at The Australian reports that the insolvency firm
overseeing the collapsed Gunns group has prioritized the sale of
the company's sawmills, and an announcement on the future of the
Bell Bay and Tarpeena operations is expected soon.
The Australian relates that KordaMentha, which was appointed
receiver and manager to the group on Tuesday, is in discussions
with prospective buyers for both sawmills but has warned that it
was "highly unlikely" that shareholders would see a return on
their investments.
The best chance for creditors, which include an ANZ-led banking
syndicate owed AUD560 million, remains the potential sale of
Gunns' stalled pulp mill project, which constitute the majority
of the group's assets, the report relays.
The Australian notes that while KordaMentha will undertake a
strategic review of the pulp mill, sources close to the timber
company argue that the previous investment case still stands,
despite political opponents declaring the contentious project
dead.
According to the report, KordaMentha partner Mark Korda said the
pulp mill, for which Gunns had already invested AUD255 million,
was relatively straightforward to restructure and the
receivership process could make finding a buyer easier than it
had proven for the debt-laden public company.
"It also affords an opportunity for someone who wanted to take
what's already been done and do something as those permits are
transferable," the report quotes Mr. Korda as saying. "That's
not to say in this global economic climate that it's going to be
easy."
The Australian says Chinese group Shandong Bohui Paper is
understood to have been conducting due diligence on the Bell Bay
sawmill, which Gunns purchased for AUD48 million last year.
The report relates that Mr. Korda confirmed he was negotiating
with interested parties and expected an outcome within a week.
He said selling the sawmills was a priority given they employed
the bulk of the company's 500 staff, The Australian relays.
KordaMentha's role follows Gunn's appointment of PPB Advisory as
administrators earlier this week.
The collapse has also sparked fears over the company's managed
investment schemes, into which more than $600m has been invested.
KordaMentha's role so far does not extend to the responsible
entity for the schemes.
"The administrator's task will be to look at the value of each of
the 21 schemes," the report quotes PPB's Daniel Bryant as saying.
"It's a large task and will take some time."
A meeting of creditors is expected on Oct. 5, 2012.

GUNNS LTD: Investors Brace for Losses Following Administration
---------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew White at The Australian Business reports that investors
and a syndicate of banks led by ANZ face losses of hundreds of
millions of dollars as they wait to see whether Gunns Limited's
main asset -- the permits and approvals to build a pulp mill at
Bell Bay in Tasmania -- can find a buyer after the collapse of
the forestry company.
Investors including Perpetual, Bank of America Merrill Lynch,
Schroders Investment Management and hedge fund Matthews Capital
were left holding stakes of more than 5% of the company after its
shares were suspended from trading in March, and are thought
likely to lose their investment, according to The Australian
Business.

PRIME TRUST: Judge Wants Speedy Trial in ASIC Suit Vs. Directors
----------------------------------------------------------------
smh.com.au reports that a Federal Court judge has ordered a
speedy trial in a case brought by the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission (ASIC) against Prime Trust's directors
over their involvement in the failed nursing home empire.
smh.com.au relates that Justice Bernard Murphy rejected
submissions from counsel for the directors that the proceeding
should be transferred to the Victorian Supreme Court, where a
compensation case dealing with many of the same events is already
under way.
According to the report, the corporate regulatory agency asked
the Federal Court to disqualify Peter Clarke, the chairman of
Victoria's urban renewal authority; Michael Wooldridge, a former
federal health minister; Bill Lewski; Kim Jaques; and Mark Butler
from being company directors, and order the men to pay a
pecuniary penalty.
Both the ASIC civil penalty case and the Supreme Court case, run
by receivers of Australian Property Custodian Holdings, the
company that controlled Prime Trust, deal with the payment of a
AUD33 million fee to Mr. Lewski, who founded the group, following
the listing of the trust on the Australian Securities Exchange in
2007, the report recounts.
Because of the apparent duplication, Supreme Court Judge Ross
Robson earlier this month described ASIC's Federal Court
proceedings as "prima facie vexatious and oppressive" and "very
odd".
"I consider that the interests of justice are best served by
ordering an expeditious trial of the penalty proceeding in this
court," Justice Murphy said in a Sept. 25 judgment.
He said he would like to start the trial on April 4 next year,
but would move it back to the first half of May if the parties
could not be ready in time, smh.com.au adds.
About Prime Trust
Prime Retirement and Aged Care Property Trust (ASX:PTN) --
http://www.primetrust.com.au/-- is an Australia-based investment
company. The principal activity of the Trust is to invest funds
in property, primarily retirement and aged care facilities. Its
subsidiaries include APCH Aged Care Services Pty Ltd, Hibiscus RV
Properties Pty Ltd, APCH Investments Pty Ltd, Carlyle Villages
Pty Ltd and Lindfield RV Properties Pty Ltd.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Oct. 19, 2010, SmartCompany related that 10 retirement villages
that are owned by Prime Retirement and Aged Care Property Trust
have been placed in the hands of receivers after banks including
National Australia Bank and Suncorp Metway lost patience with the
group. Suncorp appointed receivers from Ernst & Young to Prime
Trust's retirement villages in Bundaberg, Mackay and Townsville.
This triggered a swag of further appointments, with Craig Shepard
and Mark Korda of KordaMentha appointed to seven further
villages, including properties in Buderim, Nambour, Noosa and
Linfield. SmartCompany recalled shares in Prime Trust have been
suspended since early August, as the company tried to convince
its financiers it could restructure its operations and deal with
debts of about AUD275 million. Receiver Craig Sheppard said the
properties, which are currently managed by Lend Lease Primelife,
would continue to operate as normal.
Stirling Horne and Petr Vrsecky of Lawler Draper Dillon were
appointed joint liquidators of Australian Property Custodian
Holdings Ltd., as Responsible Entity for The Prime Retirement &
Aged Care Property Trust, following the second creditors meeting
on Nov. 23, 2011. Messrs. Horned and Vrsecky previously were
appointed joint administrators of the Trust on Oct. 18, 2010.

ADARSH ENGITECH: CARE Assigns 'CARE BB' Rating to INR3cr LT Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE BB' and 'CARE A4' ratings to the bank
facilities of Adarsh Engitech Projects Pvt Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 3.00 CARE BB Assigned
Long-term / Short-term 6.50 CARE BB/CARE A4
Bank Facilities Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Adarsh Engitech
Projects Pvt. Ltd. are primarily constrained on account of its
limited geographical presence in a highly competitive &
fragmented industry and client concentration risk. The ratings
are further constrained by AEPPL's modest scale of operations and
declining profitability.
The ratings, however, draw strength from AEPPL's experienced
promoters, diversified product/service offering, reputed
clientele, proximity to major customers and financial risk
profile marked by comfortable capital structure and moderate
liquidity indicators.
AEPPL's ability to increase its scale of operations and improve
its profitability along with diversification of client base is
the key rating sensitivity.
AEPPL was initially incorporated as Advance Finechem Pvt. Ltd in
November 1995 by Mr. Shantilal Jain and his family members. The
company changed its name to the present one in February 2005.
AEPPL has three business divisions i.e. engineering division, gas
division and automobiles division. Under the engineering
division, AEPPL provides turnkey contracting services for cathode
melting furnaces, attrition mills, heat exchangers, ammonia fuel
gas conditioning systems and undertakes job-work for
manufacturing of lead silver anodes and aluminium cathodes. These
equipment are used in the smelting industry, paper chemical
industry, power plants and construction industry. The gas
division involves manufacturing and trading of oxygen gas used
for industrial as well as medical purposes, while under the
automobile division, AEPPL operates dealership of Asia Motor
Works trucks and spare parts in South Rajasthan.
AEPPL has three associate concerns - Adarsh Gases & Techno
Industries & SRK Industrial Gases engaged in the manufacturing
and trading of industrial gases; Adarsh Equipment & Projects Pvt.
Ltd. engaged in manufacturing of engineering equipment.
ASTRON PAPER: CARE Puts 'CARE BB' Rating on INR45cr LT Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE BB' and 'CARE A4' ratings to the bank
facilities of Astron Paper & Board Mill Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 45 CARE BB Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 1 CARE A4 Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Astron paper &
Board Mill Limited are constrained primarily on account of the
delay in the implementation of the greenfield project, yet to be
achieved financial closure, highly fragmented Kraft paper
industry and susceptibility of profitability to volatile raw
material prices and exchange rate fluctuation. The above
constraints far offset the benefits derived from the vast
experience of its promoters in the paper packaging industry and
relatively lower saleability risk due to likely offtake from the
associates.
APBML's ability to achieve financial closure of the project,
stabilize operation in a timely manner and attain envisaged scale
of operations and profitability are the key rating sensitivities.
Incorporated in December 2010, Astron Paper & Board Mill Ltd. is
setting up a greenfield project at Surendranagar, Gujarat, for
manufacturing Kraft paper, with recycled (waste) paper as the raw
material. The project includes manufacturing capacity of 66,000
metric tonne per annum (MTPA) of Kraft paper along with a captive
power plant of three megawatt (MW). The key promoters Mr.
Kiritbhai Patel and Mr. Ramkant Patel have rich experience in
trading and manufacturing of Kraft paper and corrugated boxes.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be INR78.30 crore
to be financed by equity of INR25 crore, term loan of INR45.30
crore (INR30 crore sanctioned and balance INR15.30 crore under
consideration by the bank) and INR8 crore of unsecured loans from
the promoters. As on June 30, 2012, INR59.17 crore was deployed
towards the project, financed through term loan of INR30 crore,
INR24.24 crore infused by the promoters through equity and
unsecured loans and balance INR4.93 crore through creditors.
B. K. POLIMEX: CARE Rates INR6cr LT Loan at 'CARE BB-'
------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE BB-' rating to the bank facilities of B. K.
Polimex India Pvt Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 6.00 CARE BB- Assigned
Rating Rationale
The rating of B. K. Polimex India Private Limited is constrained
by small scale of operations, thin profitability margins and
moderate capital structure.
The rating however derives strength from the experience of the
promoters in the PET resin business and distributorship from
Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Ltd to market PET resins.
Ability to scale up operations, achieve profitability margins and
improve capital structure remains the key rating sensitivities.
Established in May 2003, B. K. Impex, a proprietary firm managed
by Mr. Zohar Abbas Karachiwala, was taken over by B. K. Polimex
India Pvt. Ltd., with effect from July 20, 2011. Established in
May 2009, BKPIPL, began operations in April 2011 and is owned and
managed by the Karachiwala family. BKPIPL is primarily engaged in
marketing of PET Resins which find its uses in manufacturing of
Jars and Bottles; it is also engaged in marketing of polymers.
BKPIPL has a distributorship from Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Ltd.
for the past six years for the supply of PET Resins to the
western regions of India such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, etc.
BKPIPL has two offices located at Mumbai and Silvassa and also
has two warehouses located at Bhiwandi and Silvassa.
During FY12, (refers to period from April 1 to March 31) on
provisional basis, it reported net sales of INR54.49 Crs and
profit before tax of INR0.68 Crs.
INDIAN FROZEN: CARE Rates INR9.37cr LT Loan at 'CARE B+'
--------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE B+' rating to the bank facilities of Indian
Frozen Foods LLP.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 9.37 CARE B+ Assigned
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 change in case of the withdrawal of the
capital or the unsecured loans brought in by the partners in
addition to the financial performance and other relevant factors.
Rating Rationale
The rating assigned to the bank facilities of Indian Frozen Foods
LLP is primarily constrained by limited experience of the
promoters in the frozen food industry and implementation risk
associated with its debt-funded greenfield project. The rating is
further constrained due to the fragmented nature of the frozen
food industry, high working capital intensity in the business and
susceptibility of margins to fluctuation in agro-based raw
material prices.
The rating, however, does draw comfort from the location
advantage of the processing facility, favorable industry scenario
and government policies.
Going forward, the ability of the firm to complete the project
within the envisaged cost and time and achievement of the
projected operating income and profitability margins would be the
key rating sensitivities.
Incorporated in December 2010, by Mr. Ashol Ruhik and Mr. Amit
Shokeen, IFF is a limited liability partnership firm formed in
December 2010 and constituted by Mr. Ashol Ruhik and Mr. Amit
Shokeen as its partners. The firm is setting up its processing
facility at Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand, for processing of
frozen vegetables (main products being peas, carrots,
cauliflowers and mix-veg, etc.), with a capacity to process 1.50
tonnes per hour. IFF is a group associate of Indian Foodtech
Limited, which is engaged in the processing of ready-to-eat food
products.
CORINA EXPORTS: CARE Assigns 'CARE B' Rating to INR2.77cr Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE B' and 'CARE A4' ratings to the bank
facilities of Corina Exports Private Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 2.77 CARE B Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 5.00 CARE A4 Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Corina Exports
Private Limited are primarily constrained by its low
profitability margins, leveraged capital structure, its working
capital intensive nature of operations and its customer
concentration. The ratings also take cognizance of the residual
project execution risk, foreign exchange fluctuation risk and
presence in the highly competitive textile industry.
The ratings, however, do draw comfort from the qualified
promoters and favourable location of the manufacturing plant.
Going forward, completion of the ongoing expansion project within
time and cost estimates and effective working capital management
would be the key rating sensitivities.
Incorporated in 1995, CEPL commenced its business operations from
FY11 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31). The directors of
the company are Mr. Rishav Miglani and Mr. Ashish Miglani
(brother of Mr. Rishav Miglani). CEPL is a merchant export house
engaged in export of readymade garments to Middle East and Latin
America. CEPL is an associate concern of Pee Aar International
Pvt. Ltd. (PAIPL; rated 'CARE A4). PAIPL is engaged in the
manufacturing of apparels since 2002.
The company is setting up its own manufacturing facility at
Ludhiana with a capital expenditure of INR4.85 crore. The
proposed unit will have in-house divisions for knitting,
tailoring and designing.
For FY11, where the company operated for three months, CEPL
achieved total operating income of INR3.35 crore with PBILDT and
PAT of INR0.14 crore and INR0.04 crore, respectively. For FY12
(as per unaudited results), CEPL achieved a total operating
income of INR15.88 crore with PBILDT and PAT of INR0.80 crore and
INR0.17 crore, respectively.

promoters and their long track record of operations, reputed
client base, moderate order book and low debt levels.
Going forward, increase in the scale of operations while
maintaining profitability margin and the ability of the company
to successfully execute projects within time shall be the key
rating sensitivities.

CARE assigns 'CARE BB+ (SO)' and 'CARE A4+ (SO)' ratings to the
bank facilities of Precast India Infrastructures Pvt. Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 50 CARE BB+(SO) Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 8 CARE A4+(SO) Assigned
Rating Rationale
The above ratings are based on the credit enhancement in the form
of letter of comfort provided by Bhate & Raje Construction
Company Pvt Ltd. for the bank facilities of Precast India
Infrastructures Private Ltd.
The credit risk profile of Bhate & Raje Construction Company
Private Ltd. derives strength from the its experienced promoters
and long track record of operations, favorable financial risk
profile marked by comfortable solvency and profitability ratios
and adequate asset base levels. The ratings further derive
strength from the presence of sizeable cash and cash equivalents
held by BRCCPL. The ratings, however, are constrained by the
geographical and segmental concentration of operations to the
Pune region, moderate size of operations, short-term revenue
visibility with an outstanding Order book of 1.81x FY12 sales and
debt-funded capital expenditure plan.
The ability of the company to increase its scale of operations
without impacting its financial risk profile and diversify its
operations remains the key rating sensitivity.

December 2009, is a joint venture between A2Z Online Services
Pvt. Ltd (A2Z) (the Panchshil group) and Bhate & Raje

facilities of Rayana Paper Board Industries Limited.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 30.59 CARE BB+ Assigned
Short-term Bank Facilities 0.66 CARE A4+ Assigned
Rating Rationale
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Rayana Paper Board
Industries Limited (RPB) are primarily constrained by working
capital intensive nature of its business, its presence in a
highly competitive industry along with the susceptibility to
volatility in the prices of the raw materials.
The ratings, however, draw comfort from the experienced
promoters, moderate financial risk profile, integrated plant
operations coupled with established dealer and distributor
network.
Going forward, the effective working capital management and the
ability of the company to maintain its profitability margins
would be the key rating sensitivities.
RPB is a closely held public limited company incorporated in
December 1986 and promoted by Mr. Lal Ji Singh and his brothers,
Mr. Ram Ji Singh and Mr. Bijendra Kumar Singh. RPB is engaged in
the manufacturing of industrial paper and Writing & Printing

SRI JAIBALAJI: CARE Rates INR25.27cr LT Loan at 'CARE C'
--------------------------------------------------------
CARE assigns 'CARE C' rating to the bank facilities of Sri
Jaibalaji Steel Rolling Mills Ltd.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
----------- ----------- -------
Long-term Bank Facilities 25.27 CARE C Assigned
Rating Rationale
The rating assigned to the bank facilities of Sri Jaibalaji Steel
Rolling Mills Limited is primarily constrained by instances of
delay in debt servicing in the past caused by stressed liquidity
position due to delayed commencement of its operations. The
rating is further constrained due to SJB's limited track record
of operations, highly leveraged capital structure, working
capital intensive nature of operations, competition from various
organized and unorganized players, volatility in raw material
prices coupled with limited value addition leading to low margins
and cyclicality associated with steel business.
The rating, however, does draw comfort from the experienced
promoters and direct selling to established clients.
Going forward, the ability of the company to regularize its debt
servicing track record with improvement in the liquidity profile
and other financial indicators would be the key rating
sensitivity.
Sri Jaibalaji Steel Rolling Mills Limited is a closely held
public limited company incorporated in June 2008. The company is
promoted by Mr. Shashank Jain, Mr. Akash Kumar and Mr. Gaurav
Swarup. The manufacturing unit of the company is located at

AOZORA BANK: Cerberus Plans to Sell Stake as CEO Steps Down
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that Cerberus Capital Management LP plans
to sell an undisclosed amount of its holdings in Japan's Aozora
Bank Ltd. as the lender's Chief Executive Officer Brian Prince
steps down.
Bloomberg relates that Cerberus, Aozora's biggest shareholder
with a 49.8% stake, will determine the timing and size of the
proposed sale based on market conditions, the bank said in a
statement to the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The proposed sale by Cerberus sparked concern about a change of
control amid efforts by Mr. Prince to pay JYP227.6 billion
(US$2.93 billion) to taxpayers following a bailout, as well as
buying back stock and paying a bigger percentage of profit as
dividends, Bloomberg relays.
According to the report, Aozora said in a separate statement
Shinsuke Baba replaced Prince after the shareholder meeting
Tuesday. Mr. Prince, who is stepping down for personal reasons,
will be chairman of the company, it said.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Aug. 31, 2012, Moody's Japan K.K. affirmed the ratings of Aozora
Bank Ltd. (Baa2 stable; D+/ba1 stable), following the
announcement of its "comprehensive recapitalization plan" on
Aug. 27, 2012.
Aozora Bank has negotiated with its major stakeholders a
comprehensive plan to pay the government of Japan (Aa3 stable)
JPY227.6 billion in consideration for the JPY180 billion face
value in outstanding preference shares.
These will be paid in installments over a ten-year period.
The preference shares are mandatory convertible on October 3,
2012, and according to the plan, the mandatory conversion date
will be extended to June 30, 2022.
During this period Aozora will pay an annual super preferred
dividend of JPY20.5 billion, which under Japanese rules will be
treated as a repayment of public funds.
Furthermore, the bank will (1) make a JPY22.7 billion upfront
repayment to the government, thereby reducing the face value of
the preferred shares to JPY157 billion in the current fiscal year
ending March 2013; (2) buy back 20% of its common shares issued;
and (3) adopt a dividend payout ratio for common shares at 40% of
consolidated net income.
By changing the composition of capital, the bank aims to obtain
sufficient resources to fully repay the remaining public funds at
any time, and subject to the agreement of the government.
Aozora Bank Ltd. (TYO:8304) -- http://www.aozorabank.co.jp/-- is
a Japan-based regional bank that provides a range of banking

capital investment, and system development. The Bank has 16
subsidiaries and 18 branch offices.
SHARP CORP: To Cut 10,966 Jobs; Sell Off Assets
-----------------------------------------------
The Japan Times Online reports that Sharp Corp. plans to slash a
total of 10,966 employees in Japan and overseas while selling off
assets to generate JPY213.1 billion by the end of next March,
according to the company's restructuring plan.
The report relates that the plan, submitted Monday to financial
institutions by the Osaka-based consumer electronics maker, shows
that the company will cut wages and unload its overseas plants, a
subsidiary and shareholdings in Toshiba Corp., while integrating
four domestic sales companies around next April.
To implement the plan, Sharp will set up an emergency management
committee Oct. 1 headed by President Takashi Okuda. The company
aims to return to profitability in the business year starting
next April with a group net profit of JPY14.6 billion, according
to the plan cited by The Japan Times Online.
According to the report, Sharp plans to overhaul its liquid
crystal display TV business, strengthen its small and medium-size
LCD panel business for smartphones, and substantially cut down
its solar battery operations.
By the end of March 2014, The Japan Times Online discloses, Sharp
will cut 19% of its current consolidated workforce of 57,170,
including reducing 3,100 domestically through voluntary and age-
limit retirement. Other employees subject to the cuts include
those working at TV assembly plants in Mexico, China and Malaysia
that the company plans to sell, the report adds.
Mulls Mobile Phone Business Tie-up with Fujitsu
In a separate report, The Japan Times Online relates that Sharp
Corp. is considering turning to Fujitsu Ltd. to integrate mobile
phone businesses to help recover its competitive edge in the
communications field.
According to the company's restructuring plan, through the
integration, the two companies' combined share would have more
than 30% of Japan's market, where it commanded the largest share
for a long time. The report relates that the tie-up would serve
as a way out of cutthroat competition with its Japanese peers and
counter globally dominant foreign rivals like Apple Inc. and
Samsung Electronics Co.
Sharp plans to stick to the mobile phone business on its own for
the time being, according to the restructuring plan submitted to
financial institutions on Monday.
But Sharp may approach Fujitsu by the end of March, the close of
its business year, with a proposal for integrating their
operations if its domestic share and profit level fail to clear
targets, the plan, as cited by The Japan Times Online, said.
The Japan Times discloses that Sharp logged a record group net
loss of JPY376 billion in fiscal 2011 on slumping LCD TV and
panel sales and expects to remain in the red this business year.
To receive additional assistance from financial institutions,
Sharp is drawing up a restructuring plan to return to
profitability in the business year starting in April, including
asset sales and a substantial cut in its workforce, the report
notes.
About Sharp Corporation
Based in Osaka, Japan, Sharp Corporation (TYO:6753) --
http://sharp-world.com/-- manufactures and sells
electronic telecommunication devices, electronic machines and
components.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Sept. 4, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered to
'BB+' its long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt
ratings on Sharp Corp. and its overseas subsidiaries, Sharp
Electronics Corp. and Sharp International Finance (U.K.) PLC. "At
the same time, we lowered our short-term ratings on the companies
to 'B' from 'A-2'. We kept Sharp's long- and short-term ratings
on CreditWatch with negative implications," S&P said.
"Sharp's liquidity position is weakening, in Standard & Poor's
view. Internal cash flow remains weak, and financial market
conditions for the company have deteriorated. The company has
forecast an expected JPY250 billion net loss for fiscal 2012
(ending March 31, 2013), exceeding its budgeted depreciation
expense of JPY200 billion. As of June 30, 2012, Sharp had a high
dependence on short-term borrowings. It had JPY336 billion in
short-term debt and JPY362 billion in commercial paper. In recent
weeks, the company has faced unfavorable financial market
conditions, as evidenced by a recent rise in spreads on credit
default swaps, which has added to its difficulty in issuing new
commercial paper. Weak internal cash flow has forced the company
to repay its commercial paper primarily with bank borrowings.
Because its current liquidity needs exceed sources, we view
Sharp's liquidity position as 'less than adequate.' Under our
ratings criteria, we assign an issuer credit rating no higher
than 'BB+' to a company with 'less than adequate' liquidity," S&P
said.
The TCR-AP reported on Aug. 7, 2012, that Moody's Investors
Service downgraded its short-term ratings on Sharp Corporation
and its supported subsidiaries, Sharp International Finance (UK)
plc and Sharp Electronics Corporation, to Prime-3 from Prime-2.
The ratings remain under review for further downgrade. The rating
action reflects Moody's increasing concern that the company's
weak operating performance and additional restructuring costs
will continue to pressure its cash flow downwards, thereby
increasing its dependence on external sources for liquidity.

BRIDGECORP LTD: NZICA Strikes Former CFO From Register
------------------------------------------------------
Ben Chapman-Smith at The New Zealand Herald reports that two
high-profile directors of failed finance companies and a third
Waikato accountant have had their names struck off the
professional register of accountants.
The Herald relates that jailed Bridgecorp chief financial officer
Rob Roest and Five Star Consumer Finance director Anthony Walpole
Bowden had their cases brought before a disciplinary tribunal
hearing in Auckland on Sept. 19, 2012.
Together with Robert Philip Bell from Tirau, the men were struck
off as members of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered
Accountants (NZICA) on Sept. 21, according to the report.
The Herald notes that Mr. Roest was currently serving nearly
seven years in jail after being found guilty on 18 charges of
misleading investors and other charges relating to the Medici
luxury launch. He was sentenced in May to six years and six
months on 10 Securities Act charges and a further eight charges
brought under the Crimes Act and Companies Act. He was found to
have knowingly made false statements. Some charges related to
statements in Bridgecorp's offer documents that the company had
never missed a payment of interest or principal to investors.
Last month, the Herald cites, Mr. Roest was handed another three
months in jail for his part in the fraudulent use of $3.5 million
worth of Bridgecorp funds to buy the Medici yacht in 2002.
Mr. Roest did not attend the tribunal last week and entered no
plea, the report notes.
According to the Herald, the NZICA said Mr. Roest had acted
dishonestly "with intent to deceive the investing public, as the
Court found, is incompatible with membership of the Institute."
The Institute's Professional Conduct Committee successfully
sought full costs of NZ$4,100, although the tribunal recognized
Mr. Roest was now bankrupt.
The NZICA said the convictions reflected on Mr. Roest's fitness
to practice accountancy and brought the profession into
disrepute, the Herald reports.
About Bridgecorp Ltd
Based in New Zealand, Bridgecorp Ltd. was a property development
and finance company.

failing to pay principal due to debenture holders. John Waller

appointed as receivers. Bridgecorp owes around 14,500 investors,
which liquidators estimate to approximate NZ$500 million.
Bridgecorp's nine Australian companies were also placed into
voluntary administration, owing about 100 investors about
AUD24 million (NZ$27 million).
FIVE STAR: NZICA Strikes Off Former Director from Register
----------------------------------------------------------
Ben Chapman-Smith at The New Zealand Herald reports that two
high-profile directors of failed finance companies and a third
Waikato accountant have had their names struck off the
professional register of accountants.
The Herald relates that jailed Bridgecorp chief financial officer
Rob Roest and Five Star Consumer Finance director Anthony Walpole
Bowden had their cases brought before a disciplinary tribunal
hearing in Auckland on Sept. 19, 2012.
Together with Robert Philip Bell from Tirau, the men were struck
off as members of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered
Accountants (NZICA) on Sept. 21, according to the report.
The Herald notes Mr. Bowden was a former director of Five Star
Consumer Finance, which collapsed in 2007 with losses of $42
million. Five Star Finance and Five Star Debenture Nominee owe a
further $43 million.
The report says Mr. Bowden pleaded guilty to Securities Act
charges late last year and was sentenced to nine months' home
detention and 300 hours' community work.
In June this year, the Herald recounts, Mr. Bowden pleaded guilty
to two theft charges brought by the Serious Fraud Office. He was
sentenced to another nine months' home detention and ordered to
complete an additional 100 hours' community work.
The Herald relates that the tribunal last week noted that Bowden
had acknowledged that his convictions "bring the profession into
disrepute".
"The Tribunal notes the Member's apology and remorse, and that he
has appeared at this hearing."
Nevertheless, the tribunal ordered Mr. Bowden to be struck off.
The Herald adds Mr. Bowden must pay costs of NZ$4,310.
About Five Star Finance
Established in 1992, Five Star Finance Limited focused on
financing real estate loans following a restructuring exercise
that created Five Star Consumer Finance in New Zealand and Five
Star Consumer Finance Pty in Australia.
Five Star Debenture Nominee Limited acted as debenture holder on
behalf of unsecured depositors and appeared to lend all of the
money it raised to Five Star Finance.
Five Star Finance Limited went into receivership on September 5,
2007. Five Star Debenture Nominee Limited went into liquidation
on November 5, 2007. At the start of the liquidation in June
2009, the shortfall of assets to liabilities was NZ$51.7 million,
according to The Dominion Post. The Post says joint liquidator
Paul Sargison, of Gerry Rea & Associates, said the firm's
directors attributed the group's failure to the economic crisis
but his own appraisal is that Five Star has been insolvent since
no later than March 31, 2005.

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.
