Rating Rationale

­Acuité has downgraded its long-term rating to ‘ACUITE BB-’ (read as ACUITE double B minus) from 'ACUITE BB' (read as ACUITE double B) on the Rs.19.50 crore bank facilities of Dhanaraj Traders. The rating downgraded is on the account of information risk. This rating is now an indicative rating and is based on the best information available.


About the Company

­Dhanraj Traders (DT) based in Latur, Maharashtra is a proprietorship established in 2006. The entity is involved into trading of agricultural commodities which include Toor dal, Chana dal and Soya Bean. The entity procures its products from local farmers and is also involved into contract farming that helps the entity get desired result of harvest.

 
Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower

­Acuité has been requesting for data, information and undertakings from the rated entity for conducting surveillance & review of the rating. However, the issuer/borrower failed to submit such information before the due date. Acuité believes that information risk is a critical component in such ratings, and noncooperation by the issuer along with unwillingness to provide information could be a sign of potential deterioration in its overall credit quality. This rating is therefore being flagged as “Issuer not cooperating”, in line with prevailing SEBI regulations and Acuité’s policies.

 
Limitation regarding information availability

­­The rating is based on information available from sources other than the issuer/borrower (in the absence of information provided by the issuer/borrower). Acuité endeavoured to gather information about the entity/industry from the public domain. Therefore, Acuité cautions lenders and investors regarding the use of such information, on which the indicative credit rating is based.

Note on Complexity Levels of the Rated Instrument

­In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’ s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk.
