Brickwork Ratings (BWR) had downgraded the long-term rating for the bank loan facilities of LMJ Services Ltd. amounting to Rs.78.49 crores to BWR BB/Stable/A4 and continues to classify the ratings under ISSUER NOT COOPERATING* on 29Mar2024, based on the best available information. The ratings were due for review, and Brickwork Ratings (BWR) made repeated efforts through emails and phone calls to obtain the necessary information. However, despite multiple attempts, the entity has failed to provide the required details, including the surveillance mandate, as per regulatory guidelines. Additionally, the entity has not submitted the NDS for the past three months. Due to the non-submission of financial, operational information and the absence of a logged surveillance mandate, BWR is unable to assess the entity’s financial performance, debt-servicing ability, or maintain a valid rating. Therefore, based on the best available information, the continued lack of management cooperation, and in compliance with regulatory requirements, BWR downgrades the long-term rating to BWR BB-/Stable and reaffirms the short-term ratings at BWR A4 and continues to classify the ratings under the ISSUER NOT COOPERATING category.
Lenders and investors are advised to exercise due caution when using the rating that mentions "Issuer Not Cooperating*" as the rating lacks any projections or forward-looking components, having been arrived at based on the best available information without any interaction with the management or bankers. Such non-cooperation by a rated entity may indicate a deterioration in its credit risk profile.
LIMITATIONS OF THE RATINGInformation availability risk is a key factor in the assessment of credit risk as generally, non-cooperation by the rated entities to provide required information for a review of the assigned rating may also be accompanied by financial stress. Users of the credit rating should therefore take into account possible deterioration in the credit quality of the rated entity arising from its non-transparency withholding of information required for a review of the rating
