| Rating Rationale |
|
ACUITE has downgraded the long term rating to ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) from ‘ACUITE B’ (read as ACUITE B) and short-term rating to ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) from 'ACUITE A4' (read as ACUITE A four) on the Rs.37.50 Cr bank facilities of K2 Metals Private Limited (KMPL). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” on account of information risk. The downgrade is on account of irregularities in servicing of debt obligations by KMPL as confirmed its banker. |
| About the Company |
| Incorporated in 2009, KMPL is Maharashtra based company engaged in manufacturing of steel wires and galvanized wired in the range of 0.9 mm to 10.00 mm. The company is promoted by Mr. Rahul Kulkarni and Mrs. Megha Kulkarni and KMPL started its operations from 2014. The company has its manufacturing unit located in Jejuri MIDC, Pune with an installed capacity to manufacture 24,000 MTPA. |
| Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower: |
|
Acuité has been requesting for No Default Statements (NDS); however, despite multiple requests; the Company’s management has remained non-cooperative and not submitted the NDS for the preceding 09 consecutive months. 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 non-cooperation 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 endeavored 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 ratingis 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.
