RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK / NATURE OF NON-COOPERATION

The previous rating was done in Jun 2020 with a rating assigned of BWR D (Issuer Not Cooperating). Rating was due for a review in Jun 2021. BWR has been following up with the issuer to provide required information via emails dated Jun 10, 2021, Jun 21, 2021 and Jul 15, 2021 and over telephone calls. Despite the best efforts of BWR to get at least the minimum required business and financial information and documents for a review, the issuer has not provided the same. In the absence of adequate information from the issuer, BWR is unable to assess the issuer’s financial performance and its inability to service its debt and maintain a valid rating. Since the issuer is not cooperating in providing the required information, BWR has reaffirmed the rating to BWR D under Issuer Non Cooperation

LIMITATIONS OF THE RATING

Information availability risk is a key factor in the assessment of credit risk as generally, noncooperation by the rated entities to provide required information for a review of the assigned rating may also be accompanied by financial stress.
