RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK / NATURE OF NON-COOPERATION

The long term and ther short term rating of the Bank Loan Facilities of the company has been reaffirmed based on the available information asthe client has not submitted any information for ascertaining the financial risk profile/performance of the company. Wehave therefore continued the rating under the “Issuer Not Cooperating” category.

The rating was due for surveillance in October 2021. We have made regular follow up with the client, vide telephone calls and emails 5th and 13th October 2021. The client has not submitted an Audited Balance Sheet from FY15 onwards, NDS for the latest three months and other relevant documents for the review of rating. All our telephonic callsremained unresponded. BWR reached out to the banker vide emailand calls dated 5th and 11th October 2021, but received no response.

In the absence of adequate information from the issuer/banker, BWR is unable to assess the issuer’s/Company’s financialperformance and its ability to service its debt and maintain a valid rating. Hence, on account of inadequate information and lack of management cooperation, Brickwork Ratings has reaffirmed the long term and the short term rating of the Bank Loan Facilities of the company at BWR D ISSUER NOT COOPERATING as the company has defaulted in payment of its loans and the credit facilities with Banks which is still continued as per Annual Report of FY20. The operating revenue has declined to Rs. 0.35 Cr in June 21 as compared to Rs 0.46 Cr in March 21. It Incurred a Loss from June 2020 to June FY21. The loss has increased to Rs -1.11 Cr in June 21 from Rs. -1.07 Cr in March 21. EBITDA is negative from quarter June 20 to June 21 as per information available from the public domain.

LIMITATIONS OF THE RATING

Information availability risk is a key factor in the assessment of credit risk as generally, non cooperation by the ratedentities to provide required information for a review of the assigned rating may also be accompanied by financial stress.Users of the credit ratings should therefore take into account the possible deterioration in the credit quality of the ratedentity arising from its non- transparency and withholding of information required for a review of the rating.
