2024-2 REDS TRUST: S&P Assigns BB(sf) Rating on Class E Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its preliminary ratings to six of the
seven classes of prime residential mortgage-backed securities
(RMBS) to be issued by Perpetual Trustee Co. Ltd. as trustee for
Series 2024-2 REDS Trust. Series 2024-2 REDS Trust is a
securitization of prime residential mortgage loans originated by ME
Bank (a division of Bank of Queensland Ltd.).
The ratings reflect the following factors.
S&P said, "Our view of the credit risk of the underlying collateral
portfolio, including the fact that this is a closed portfolio,
which means no further loans will be assigned to the trust after
the closing date.
"The credit support is sufficient to withstand the stresses we
apply. Credit support for the rated notes is provided by
subordination and lenders' mortgage insurance cover on 15.3% of the
loan portfolio.
"The various mechanisms to support liquidity within the
transaction, including principal draw function and an amortizing
liquidity facility equal to 1.0% of the outstanding performing
balance of the receivables, are sufficient under our stress
assumptions to ensure timely payment of interest on the rated
notes."
A A$150,000 extraordinary expense reserve funded upfront by BOQ is
available to meet extraordinary expenses. The reserve will be
topped up with available excess spread if drawn.
National Australia Bank Ltd. will provide a standby fixed- to
floating-rate interest-rate swap to hedge the mismatch between
receipts from any fixed-rate mortgage loans and the variable-rate
RMBS.

BAMFORD ENGINEERING: First Creditors' Meeting Set for Aug. 23
-------------------------------------------------------------
A first meeting of the creditors in the proceedings of Bamford
Engineering And Consulting Pty Ltd will be held on Aug. 23, 2024,
at 10:30 a.m. via Microsoft Teams.
Roberto Crispino and Richard Albarran of Hall Chadwick were
appointed as administrators of the company on Aug. 13, 2024.
BOOKTOPIA: Digidirect Founder Saves Bookseller From Administration
------------------------------------------------------------------
News.com.au reports that beleaguered book seller Booktopia has been
saved from collapse via a buyout from digiDirect founder Shant
Kradjian.
The book chain went into voluntary administration in July.
A representative for Mr. Kradjian said Kogan.com, Woolworths,
Dymocks, and QBD Books were among the other entities bidding on the
administrator's tender, news.com.au relates.
Booktopia was in financial strife as it struggled to find money for
warehouse upgrades and pay redundancies for about 50 staff that
were made in previous cost-cutting measures, according to the
report.
Share trading was frozen for two weeks before the administrators
came in, as Booktopia slipped into insolvency. In its initial
public offering in 2020, Booktopia issued shares at AUD2.30 and
debuted on the ASX at AUD2.86. By mid-2024, shares had capitulated
to AUD0.045.
Mr. Kradjian finalised the purchase of all Booktopia assets on Aug.
16, news.com.au says.
"The transaction will result in the retention of all remaining
employees . . . and continuity of supply for Booktopia's trade
creditors," news.com.au quotes administrator Keith Crawford as
saying.
About 100 new positions are expected to be created.
"We commend digiDirect's owner Shant Kradjian and his team who
moved quickly and professionally to complete due diligence and the
transaction in collaboration with the administrators and
Booktopia's staff and key suppliers," he said.
News.com.au says Mr. Kradjian founded camera store digiDirect in
2006 at the age of 19, and today it has seven physical stores, a
competitive online presence and 150 employees.
Booktopia itself was founded in Sydney in 2004.
Booktopia posted record profits during the Covid-19 pandemic and in
2021 it overtook Amazon in Australian market share for the book
sector.
But building a robotic warehouse in Sydney became a big budget
drainer, and as funds dried up, customers were left with unfilled
orders, news.com.au notes.

Kembla Street, in Wollongong, NSW, and via virtual meeting

LIBERTAS FINANCIAL: ASIC Cancels Financial Services Licence
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) has
cancelled the Australian financial services licence (AFSL) of
former national financial advisory business Libertas Financial
Planning Pty Ltd (in liquidation).
This is the first time ASIC has cancelled an AFSL following a
payment of compensation by the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort
(CSLR).
The CSLR was established in June 2023, commencing operations in
April 2024. It can pay up to AUD150,000 in compensation to
consumers who have an unpaid determination from the Australian
Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) relating to authorised
personal financial advice, credit intermediation, securities
dealing or credit provision, and where other eligibility criteria
are met.
The AFCA complaint process must first be completed before a claim
can be lodged with the CSLR. All reasonable steps to obtain
compensation from the financial firm must be taken before a CSLR
payment can be made.
Where the CSLR pays compensation to an eligible consumer in
relation to an AFCA determination and notifies ASIC of the details
of the firm that failed to pay the compensation, ASIC must cancel
the Australian financial services licence of the firm.
The cancellation is not subject to discretion or merits review.
On July 24, 2023, AFCA made a determination against Libertas, which
Libertas failed to pay. On July 24, 2024, the CSLR paid an amount
of compensation to a person for the AFCA determination and notified
ASIC. On August 14, 2024, ASIC cancelled the Australian financial
services licence of Libertas.
PREMIER HOLDINGS: ASIC Disqualifies Director for Five Years
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) has
disqualified Gregory Romano Lavopa, of Beverley Hills NSW, from
managing corporations for the maximum period of 5 years, after his
involvement in three failed companies.
Between 2018 and 2021, Mr. Lavopa was a director of Sydney based
labour hire service companies: Premier Holdings Group Pty Ltd
(de-registered), Byron Resourcing Pty Ltd and Project Service
Holdings Pty Ltd (de-registered).
ASIC found that Mr. Lavopa's management fell significantly below
the standard expected of an Australian director in that he:
* failed to lodge required tax documents with the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in respect of
Premier Holdings and Byron Resourcing,
* failed to keep sufficient business records in the
case of Project Service,
* failed to assist the liquidator in the winding up of
Byron Resourcing, and
* in relation to Premier Holdings, there was persistent
under-charging of invoiced services with the effect that
statutory liabilities (including superannuation, workers'
compensation, and taxation) were not provided for.
Across the three companies, AUD4.1 million was owed to 20 unsecured
creditors, with AUD100,000 owed to seven small business operators
and AUD3.2 million to statutory agencies, including the ATO.
In deciding to disqualify Mr Lavopa, ASIC relied on statutory
reports lodged by Peter Amos of Amos Insolvency, Leumeah, NSW, who
was the Registered Liquidator of Premier Holdings; Shumit Banerjee
of Westburn Advisory, Sydney, who was the Registered Liquidator of
Byron Resourcing; and Scott Turner, who was appointed Registered
Liquidator of Project Service. ASIC assisted Mr Banerjee to prepare
his supplementary report by providing funding from the Assestless
Administration Fund.
Mr. Lavopa is disqualified from managing corporations until August
12, 2029.

VILLAGE ROADSHOW: Monorail Set to Close After Almost Four Decades
-----------------------------------------------------------------
News.com.au reports that Australia's first and last tourist
monorail is set to close for good at SeaWorld on the Gold Coast
after almost four decades.
The beloved attraction was the first of its kind in Australia when
it opened in 1986, but has been dormant since 2019, the report
notes.
After 330,000 trips around the park, Village Roadshow Theme Parks
COO Bikash Randhawa said the rail would close, according to
news.com.au.
"The monorail opened at Sea World in 1986 to become Australia's
first monorail system and upon its closing the last," he said.
In 38 years of service, the monorail completed 330,000 trips around
the park - equivalent to 44 trips around Australia.
Despite being well loved, the rail was shuttered in 2019 amid
construction of the new AUD50 million New Atlantis attraction.
News.com.au says speculation swirled about its future amid reports
of deteriorating infrastructure and difficulties in sourcing needed
parts.
"The support we infrastructure we had in place was no longer
available worldwide," Mr. Randhawa told Nine Nines.
"Hence, we have made the decision to close the monorail down".
According to news.com.au, Mr. Randhawa said like many families, he
had "fond memories" of the rail and that they'd "tried very hard"
to keep it going.
He said demolition was expected to start along SeaWorld Drive
within the SeaWorld park by the end of the year, news.com.au adds.

FINGERMOTION INC: Reduces Subscription Price to $1.50 Per Share
---------------------------------------------------------------
In May 2024, the Board of Directors of FingerMotion, Inc., approved
an unregistered, non-brokered private placement offering of up to
800,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.50 per Share, for
aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. To date, the Company
has received executed subscriptions from certain offshore
subscribers for 310,000 Shares at an aggregate subscription price
of $775,000, in reliance on Rule 903 of Regulation S under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Since early June 2024, the trading price of the Company's common
stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market has been decreasing and is
currently less than the Subscription Price. Accordingly, on August
5, 2024, the Board authorized a reduction of the Subscription Price
from $2.50 to $1.50 per Share, such that the Offering will now be
up to 1,333,333 Shares (including the 310,000 Shares that are the
subject of the Subscriptions, which are also being adjusted to
reflect the new Subscription Price) for total gross proceeds of up
to $2,000,000.

May 29, 2024, citing that the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

AADHAV GREEN: Ind-Ra Assigns BB+ Bank Loan Rating
-------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has rated Aadhav Green Power
Private Limited's (AGPL) bank facilities as follows:
-- INR20 mil. Proposed fund-based working capital limit assigned
with IND BB+/Stable/IND A4+ rating;
-- INR330.79 mil. Proposed term loan assigned with IND BB+/Stable
rating; and
-- INR149.21 mil. Term loan due on March 31, 2032 assigned with
IND BB+/Stable rating.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The ratings reflect AGPL's small scale of operations, high
geographical concentration risk and stretched liquidity. However,
the ratings are supported by AGPL's healthy EBITDA margins,
comfortable credit metrics and experienced promoters with stable
cashflow generation from the solar power business. In the medium
term, Ind-Ra expects the scale of operations to improve on account
of a likely improvement in the execution of orders in hand.
However, the agency expects the credit metrics to deteriorate in
the medium term, given its planned debt-funded capex towards the
installation of a power plant.
Detailed Description of Key Rating Drivers
Small Scale of Operations: The ratings reflect AGPL's small scale
of operations with its revenue surging to INR452.07 million in FY24
(FY23: INR96.44 million) and the EBITDA rising to INR85.20 million
(INR52.79 million), following the company's foray into the
engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) business as a
contractor to execute solar power projects. Until FY23, the company
was into the power trading business. In FY24, the power trading
segment accounted for INR112.71 million of its total revenue. Till
1QFY25, AGPL booked revenue of INR480 million and had an order book
of INR1,208 million as of July 2025, to be executed by December
2024. In the medium term, Ind-Ra expects the revenue to improve,
supported by a likely improvement in the orders for execution. Its
FY24 numbers are provisional in nature.
High Geographic Concentration Risk: Tamil Nadu accounted for a
major part of AGPL's unexecuted order book. However, the company
has benefited from its established base and expertise required for
the execution of orders in any region.
Stretched Liquidity: AGPL does not have any capital market exposure
and relies on banks and financial institutions to meet its funding
requirements. The cash flow from operations declined to INR73.08
million in FY24 (FY23: INR134.17 million) due to unfavorable
changes in the working capital. However, the free cash flow
improved to INR118.81 million in FY24 (FY23: FY23:INR11.78 million)
due to the absence of any capex.
Healthy EBITDA Margins: AGPL's EBITDA margins declined but remained
healthy at 18.85% in FY24 (FY23: 54.74%) on account of its entry
into the EPC segment which offers lower margins than that in the
solar power segment. The return on capital employed increased to
16.2% in FY24 (FY23: 8.8%). In the medium term, Ind-Ra expects the
EBITDA margin to decline on account of the likely increase in the
revenue from the EPC business.
Comfortable Credit Metrics: AGPL's credit metrics stood
comfortable with the gross interest coverage (operating
EBITDA/gross interest expenses) increasing to 4.08x in FY24 (FY23:
2.82x) and the net leverage (total adjusted net debt/operating
EBITDAR) reducing to 1.38x (4.39x), led by the increased in its
EBITDA as well its scheduled repayment of long-term debts. In the
medium term, Ind-Ra expects the credit metrics to deteriorate, due
to its planned debt-funded capex of INR424 million towards the
installation of the power plant. The capex would be funded through
a term loan of INR339 million and the rest through internal
accruals and promoters' contribution.
Experienced Promoters: AGPL's promoters are into solar related
business since 2012, leading to well-established relationships with
customers as well as suppliers.
Liquidity
Stretched: The net working capital cycle stood at 45 days in FY24
(FY23: 54), with debtor days of 4 days (3), inventory days of 796
days (796) and creditor days of 756 days (745). KRGPL had cash and
cash equivalents of INR159.89 million at FYE24 (INR61.27 million).
The company has repayment obligations of INR35.5 million in FY25
and INR31.3 million in FY26.
Rating Sensitivities
Negative: A decline in the scale of operations, leading to
deterioration in the credit metrics with the net leverage
increasing above 4.5x, or a weakening of the liquidity position,
will lead to a negative rating action.
Positive: A substantial improvement in the scale of operations,
along with an improvement in liquidity, while maintaining the
credit metrics with the net leverage sustaining below 3.5x, all on
a sustained basis, will lead to a positive rating action.
About the Company
Tamil Nadu-based AGPL, incorporated in June 2012, is involved in
the generation of solar power. In April 2023, the company ventured
into EPC contracts of solar projects. The company is promoted by S
Venkataramanan.

---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 12.00 CARE C; Stable; ISSUER NOT

Rationale & Key Rating Drivers
CARE Ratings Ltd. had, vide its press release dated July 10, 2023,
placed the rating(s) of GECPL under the 'issuer non-cooperating'
category as GECPL had failed to provide information for monitoring
of the rating as agreed to in its Rating Agreement. GECPL continues
to be non-cooperative despite repeated requests for submission of
information through e-mails, phone calls and a letter/email dated
May 25, 2024, June 4, 2024 and June 14, 2024.
In line with the extant SEBI guidelines, CARE Ratings Ltd. has
reviewed the rating on the basis of the best available information
which however, in CARE Ratings Ltd.'s opinion is not sufficient to
arrive at a fair rating.
Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and the public

Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 27.37 CARE D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING
Facilities Rating continues to remain

Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Ltd. had, vide its press release dated June 1, 2023,
placed the rating(s) of JJHTFPL under the 'issuer non-cooperating'
category as JJHTFPL had failed to provide information for
monitoring of the rating. JJHTFPL continues to be non-cooperative
despite repeated requests for submission of information through
e-mails, phone calls and a letter/email dated April 16, 2024, April
26, 2024, May 6, 2024.
In line with the extant SEBI guidelines, CARE Ratings Ltd. has
reviewed the rating on the basis of the best available information
which however, in CARE Ratings Ltd.'s opinion is not sufficient to
arrive at a fair rating.
Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and the public
at large) are hence requested to exercise caution while using the
above rating(s).
J J Hi Tech Foods Private Limited (JJHTFPL) was promoted by Mr.
Ravi and Ms. Parvathi in November, 2011 for processing of paddy
with the installed capacity of 120 MT per day in Manachallur,

which is procured from the farmers based in Tamil Nadu (mainly in

JAIPRAKASH ASSOCIATES: SBI-led Banks Key to IBC Case Resolution
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI
Bank and IDBI Bank hold the key to the Jaiprakash Associates (JAL)
insolvency resolution with admitted claims of more than INR51,000
crore is one of the biggest cases since the Insolvency and
Bankruptcy Code (IBC) came into force in 2016.
Updated claims as of end July show that financial creditors
including homebuyers are owed a total of INR51,510 crore led by SBI
which with close to INR15,500 crore is the largest creditor with
30% of the debt followed by ICICI Bank with 18% and IDBI Bank with
11%, ET discloses. All three together hold close to 60% of the debt
and adding LIC's 6%, make the 66% vote needed to approve a
resolution.
According to ET, bankers said consolidation of debt with these
three creditors could help quicken decision making for the
resolution of an account which has been admitted to insolvency
after a six-year delay.
"Firstly, creditors are relieved that finally this case has seen
the light of the day. This is a complex resolution so it is still
early days, but importantly there are assets on the ground and with
three-four creditors holding most of the debt most other lenders
are likely to rally around them," ET quotes a person familiar with
the process as saying.
JAL was among 26 defaulters that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
had directed to be taken to the bankruptcy process in 2017. ICICI
Bank had filed an insolvency petition against the company before
Allahabad Bench of the NCLT in 2018 which was finally admitted in
June giving lenders some hope for recovery.
ET says JAL's assets include operating cement plants with capacity
of over 9 million tonnes; real estate around the Yamuna Expressway
Industrial Development Area (YEIDA); hotels in Delhi, Noida,
Mussoorie and Agra; EPC business, power plants, a hospital in Noida
and the Buddh International Circuit—the only Formula One track in
India.
Lenders are hopeful but guarded on their expectations from these
assets amid expected litigations from promoters, disputes with
state government agencies like YEIDA and also multiple charges on
assets, ET relates.
"Initial interest is good and formal expressions of interest (EOIs)
will come in the next few weeks. Lenders will of course look to
maximise their recovery. But with all these assets there could be
also litigations and scrapping of agreements with agencies like
YEIDA which lenders will have to contend with. An enterprise
valuation has still not been done and the resolution professional
has to be ratified by the committee of creditors (CoC) but with
some large corporate groups showing preliminary interest there
could be some value for lenders," said a second person aware of the
process, ET relays.
Bhuvan Madan has been appointed as an interim resolution
professional. EOIs from interested parties are expected till next
month, ET notes.
Lenders are also wary of litigation by JAL promoters after having
stalled the process since last seven years despite being among 26
defaulters specifically directed by the RBI to bankruptcy.
Earlier this week, ET reported that the company had approached the
appellate tribunal seeking a stay on the bankruptcy process but the
court refused to intervene before hearing from creditors.
Results released on Aug. 14 showed that the company's net loss had
widened to INR1023 crore in the first quarter of this fiscal from
INR181 crore a year-ago.
"Assets are there but recovery will not be easy. For example the
company had tolling rights on the Yamuna Expressway but banks have
got nothing from those collections. It is because the expressway
was only a collateral and the toll collections are not coming to
escrow maintained by banks. Similarly there may be other
stakeholders for these assets. This will not be a straight forward
recovery," said a third person aware of the details.
Lenders will also have to scrutinise the deals the company made
before, adds ET. For example in December 2022, JAL announced a deal
to sell some cement assets to Dalmia Cements but the deal did not
materialise amid arbitration proceedings between the group and
UltraTech Cement.

debt resolution before initiating bankruptcy proceedings.

against JAL under Section 7 of IBC.
On June 3, 2024, the Allahabad bench of National Company Law

MAGHALAKSHMI PLAAZAA: Ind-Ra Affirms BB+ Bank Loan Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has taken following rating
actions on Maghalakshmi Plaazaa's bank loans:
-- INR244.31 mil. (reduced from INR315.25 mil.) Term loans due on
January 31, 2030 affirmed with IND BB+/Stable rating;

IND BB+/Stable rating; and
-- INR520 mil. Fund-based working capital limit affirmed with IND
BB+/Stable/IND A4+ rating.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The ratings reflect the firm's continued modest EBITDA margins and
low current ratio of less than 1.0x in FY24. However, the ratings
are supported by modest growth in the scale of operations mainly
attributable to an increase in sales at its new stores during
FY24.
Detailed Description of Key Rating Drivers
Continued Modest EBITDA Margins: The firm's EBITDA margins had
marginally deteriorated to 7.07% during FY24 (FY23: 7.12%) due to
an increase in administrative expenses. Ind-Ra expects the EBITDA
margins to improve over medium term due to a change in sales mix,
where contribution from the apparel segment was higher than
grocery. The return on capital employed was 9.0% during FY24 (FY23:
8.80%). FY24 financials are provisional.
Modest Credit Metrics: The interest coverage (operating
EBITDA/gross interest expense) deteriorated to 1.84x in FY24 (FY23:
1.98x) due to an increase in the gross interest expense to
INR102.48 million (INR80.42 million), partially offset by an
increase in the EBITDA to INR188.24 million (INR159.40 million).
However, Ind-Ra expects the interest coverage to improve in FY25
and become stable in the medium term, on account of a likely modest
increase in the EBITDA.
The net financial leverage (net debt/EBITDA) improved to 5.16x in
FY24 (FY23: 5.82x) due to the increase in operating EBITDA,
partially offset by an increase in the total debt (including
unsecured loans) to INR1,007.58 million (INR947.60 million). Ind-Ra
expects the net financial leverage to improve further in FY25, due
to the likely improvement in the EBITDA and absence of significant
debt-funded capex plans.
Improvement in Scale of Operations Contributed by New Store Sales:
The revenue from operations grew to INR2,662.40 million in FY24
(FY23: INR2,240.24 million) mainly contributed by new store sales.
Sales from existing stores improved to INR2,119.29 million in FY24
(FY23: INR2,086 million) while sales from new stores surged to
INR546.37 million (INR159.78 million). Ind-Ra expects modest growth
in the scale of operations during FY25 mainly due to contributions
from the new stores.
Diversified Revenue Profile: Maghalakshmi Plaazaa owns a shopping
mall in Villupuram, which has a grocery store, a garment store, a
silver article store, two restaurants, a gaming area, a cinema, a
31-room hotel and a banquet hall. The clothing store contributed
42.41% to the total revenue during FY24 (FY23: 34.78%), followed by
the grocery store at 49.70% (55.73%), theatre at 4.49% (5.76%),
restaurants at 1.40% (1.29%) and leasing mall premises at 2%
(2.43%). On an average, there was a footfall of 4,700 per day in
FY24 with a 10%-20% increase during weekends. Ind-Ra expects the
EBITDA margins to improve in the medium term due to increased
revenue contribution from the clothing segment.
Liquidity
Stretched: The firm's average monthly peak utilization of the
fund-based working capital limits was 100% for the 12 months ended
May 2024. The agency expects the utilization to have remained at
similar levels during June and July 2024. It had cash and cash
equivalents of around INR35.47 million at FYE24 (FYE23: INR20.49
million). The firm had a long net working capital cycle of 79 days
in FY24 (FY23: 80 days), due to a long inventory holding period of
105 days (104 days), payable period of over 44 days (50 days) and
receivable period of 18 days (26 days). The firm enhanced its
working capital facilities in January 2023 to INR520 million from
INR300 million.
Furthermore, the cash flow from operations (excluding net interest
expense but including interest on unsecured loans) turned positive
to INR67.67 million during FY24 (FY23: negative INR162.15 million),
mainly due to favorable working capital changes. Ind-Ra expects the
cash flow from operations to improve further during FY25, due to
the likely improvement in the scale of operations and a stable net
working capital cycle.
Rating Sensitivities
Negative: Any significant deterioration in the scale of operations
or substantial deterioration in liquidity or the net financial
leverage remaining above 5.0x will be negative for the ratings.
Positive: A substantial improvement in the scale of operations,
credit metrics, liquidity and current ratio; the net financial
leverage reducing below 4.0x; and timely infusion of capital by the
partners, all on a sustained basis, will be positive for the
ratings.

REX AIRLINES: To Axe Another 73 Jobs at Troubled Regional Airline
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ABC News reports that more than 70 jobs will be cut at troubled
regional airline Rex as administrators continue to evaluate the
business and search for an appropriate buyer.
Rex collapsed into voluntary administration in late July, after
days of speculation about the airline's future.
According to the ABC, since administrators from consulting firm EY
were appointed, a total of 594 jobs have been lost from the
airline's domestic business, which was responsible for operating
its capital city routes, serviced by Boeing 737s.
But an email sent to 261 employees on Aug. 19, seen by the ABC,
states an additional 73 roles will be cut from Rex, with all
positions stemming from its now-defunct capital city business.
"At this stage, subject to the outcome of a consultation process,
it is proposed that 73 of 261 current positions will become
redundant," the email, as cited by the ABC, read.
"No decisions have been made about which employees will be
retrenched as a result of the redundancy of any position.
"No final decision will be confirmed in relation to the proposed
structure until we complete this consultation process."
Among the roles being made redundant within the business are
aircraft support officers and team leaders, customer services
officers, ground school trainees, flight/pilot trainees and call
centre operators.
Administrators said the job losses will not impact the viability
and operations of the airline's regional business, which continues
to operate, the ABC relays.
The ABC says the additional redundancies will see Rex's total
employee headcount reduced to about 1,200 staff - about the same
number of workers the business had prior to its failed expansion to
capital city services and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The additional job losses announced by administrators on Monday
mean 667 roles have been axed since the airline collapsed in July.

SAKTHI GANESH: Ind-Ra Cuts Bank Loan Rating to D
------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has downgraded Sakthi Ganesh
Textiles Private Limited (SGTPL) bank facilities' ratings to 'IND D
(ISSUER NOT COOPERATING)' from 'IND BB/Stable (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING)'. The issuer did not participate in the rating review
despite continuous requests and follow-ups by the agency. The
rating is based on the best available information. Therefore,
investors and other users are advised to take appropriate caution
while using the rating.
The detailed rating actions are:
-- INR150 mil. Fund-based working capital limit (Long term/short
term) downgraded with IND D (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING) rating;
-- INR90 mil. Non-fund-based working capital limit (Short term)
downgraded with IND D (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING) rating; and
-- INR70 mil. Term loan (Long term) downgraded IND D (ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING) rating.
NOTE: ISSUER NOT COOPERATING: Issuer did not cooperate; based on
best available information.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The downgrade reflects delays in SGTPL's debt servicing, based on
information available in the public domain. However, Ind-Ra has not
been able to ascertain the reason for the delays, as the company
has been non-cooperative. The ratings continue to be maintained in
non-cooperating category in accordance with Ind-Ra's Guidelines on
What Constitutes Non-Cooperation.
Non-Cooperation by the Issuer
Ind-Ra has not received adequate information and has not been able
to conduct management interaction with SGTPL while reviewing the
rating. Ind-Ra had consistently followed up with SGTPL over emails,
apart from phone calls. The issuer has also not been submitting its
monthly no default statement.
Limitations regarding Information Availability
Ind-Ra is unable to provide an updated forward-looking view on the
credit ratings of SGTPL, as the agency does not have adequate
information to review the ratings. If an issuer does not provide
timely business and financial updates to the agency, it indicates
weak governance, particularly in 'Transparency of Financial
Information'. The agency may also consider this as symptomatic of a
possible disruption / distress in the issuer's credit profile.
Therefore, investors and other users are advised to take
appropriate caution while using these ratings. SGTPL has been
non-cooperative with the agency since July 2021.
About the Company
Established in 1996, SGTPL manufactures and sells cotton yarn dyed
woven fabric. The company has its manufacturing units in Tirupur
and Erode, Tamil Nadu, with an installed yarn capacity of 12,000
spindles, weaving capacity of 4.704 million meters per annum,

Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of SAL, which restricts CRISIL
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. CRISIL Ratings believes that rating action on SAL
is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'. Based on
the last available information, the ratings on bank facilities of
SAL continues to be 'CRISIL D Issuer Not Cooperating'.
SAL, promoted by Mr. Ramesh Handa and his wife Ms. Uma Handa in
1984, was set up as a limited company and started commercial
operation in 1987 as an authorised dealership for MSIL at GT Karnal
Road, New Delhi. SAL also has an authorised service station for
MSIL at GT Karnal Road, and a workshop and accessories and body
shop at Badli, New Delhi, which has a capacity to provide servicing
facility for 55-60 cars per day at both service stations.

LBC EXPRESS: Gets Last-Minute Extension on PHP4.4BB loan
--------------------------------------------------------
Bilyonaryo.com reports that LBC Express Holdings of the Araneta
family has obtained an extension on its PHP4.4 billion convertible
loan just two days before it fell due on August 4.
Bilyonaryo.com relates that the loss-making, debt-laden money
transfer and cargo mover firm said its creditor, CP Briks Pte. Ltd
agreed to give LBC more time to pay it back. But while the new
deadline is flexible, CP Briks can demand payment with 30 days'
notice.
"In the event of default, LBCE shares can be auctioned to public
and the proceeds can be used to settle the liability which may have
impact to the domestic business of the group. This indicates risk
in the appropriate use of going concern assumption," the company
said.
LBC management, led by chairman, CEO and president Miguel Angel A.
Camahort, said the company is aware of this risk and is taking
steps to deal with it, Bilyonaryo.com relays.
According to Bilyonaryo.com, LBC is currently in talks with CP
Briks about different options. It is also working on improving its
business operations to raise the money it needs.
The company is also looking for other ways to pay off the debt,
like finding someone else to buy the convertible instrument or
refinancing it.
"Management believes that any settlement option for the convertible
instrument will not have material impact to the domestic business
of the group, and the international business supports its ability
to continue as going concern. Management has determined that these
actions support the group's going concern assessment and has
therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern
basis," LBC said.
CP Briks is a special purpose vehicle managed by Crescent Point, a
private equity and special situations investment firm focused on
China, Southeast Asia and Australia
In 2017, LBC issued the seven-year convertible bond worth $50
million (PHP2.518 billion) to CP Briks which can be swapped for
192,307,692 LBC common shares initially at a conversion price of
PHP13 (LBC was then trading at PHP16), Bilyonaryo.com recalls. The
money was meant to bankroll the capital expenditures and working
capital of LBC's parent firm.
The bond has an annual rate of 13 percent in the first year which
has declined to 10 percent.
LBC paid off $11 million of the $50 million convertible instrument
at a total redemption price of $19.33 million (PHP1.084 billion) in
January 2023, Bilyonaryo.com says.
Under its agreement, if the Araneta family can't pay back their
loan, CP Briks can take control of their LBC shares. These shares
might then be sold at a public auction and the proceeds would be
used to pay off the loan. If the shares sell for more than the loan
amount, the extra money goes to the Araneta family.
Bilyonaryo.com relates that CP Briks can also bid on the shares at
the auction, but if they win, they have to follow rules that limit
how much of LBCE they can own—no more than 40 percent of the
company's voting and total shares.
LBC is back in the red with a PHP247.7 million deficit in the first
six months of this year from a PHP47.5 million profit a year ago
due to the weak peso and high interest costs, Bilyonaryo.com
discloses.
LBC had previously achieved a profit of PHP176 million in 2022
after suffering losses of PHP542 million in 2021 and PHP866 million
in 2020.
LBC Express Holdings, Inc. operates as a holding company. The
Company, through its subsidiaries, provides courier and cargo,
money remittance, and logistics services to retail and corporate
clients. LBC Express Holdings serves customers in Philippines.

GS E&C: Considers Selling Subsidiaries Amid Liquidity Crisis
------------------------------------------------------------
The Korea Times reports that GS E&C is considering unloading
control of some of its subsidiaries.
This follows its KRW388 billion ($287 million) operating loss in
2023 - its first annual operating loss in 10 years - due to the
KRW552.4 billion cost to rebuild an apartment complex in Incheon,
where an underground parking garage collapsed after the company's
omission of rebar in multiple pillars, the Korea Times relates.
Recently, the construction firm entered a procedure to sell its
stake in GS Elevator.
The elevator maker is GS E&C's wholly owned subsidiary, which was
founded in 2021 and has factories in Asan, South Chungcheong
Province, and Vietnam.
Last year, GS Elevator failed once again to turn a profit, posting
KRW34.1 billion in sales and an operating loss of KRW16.1 billion,
the Korea Times discloses.
"We are in talks with multiple companies including Chinese firms to
sell our stake," the report quotes a GS E&C official as saying.
"We have yet to decide whether to sell part of our stake or the
entire stake."
The company is also considering selling its controlling stake in GS
Inima Environment, the Korea Times adds.
Since it hired Goldman Sachs as an underwriter last year, GS E&C
had initially sought to sell part of its stake in the lucrative
Spanish water treatment company, which became the Korean firm's
wholly owned subsidiary in 2012, according to the Korea Times.
The Korea Times adds the construction firm is said to now be
pushing ahead with selling its controlling stake in GS Inima, to
deal with the aggravating financial burden following a downgrade of
its credit rating.
Based in Seoul, South Korea, GS Engineering & Construction
Corporation operates as an engineering, procurement, and
construction contractor. The company offers services primarily in
the areas of plants, power and environment, civil engineering,
housing, architecture, and development.
