Rating Rationale

Acuité has downgraded its long-term rating to 'ACUITE C' (read as ACUITE C) from 'ACUITE B+' (read as ACUITE B plus) and reaffirmed its short-term rating of 'ACUITE A4' (read as ACUITE A four) on the Rs.101 Cr. bank facilities of Kamakshi Suedpack Private Limited (Erstwhile Kamakshi Flexiprints Private Limited) (KSPL).

The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” on account of information risk and is based on the best available information. The rating downgrade of KSPL takes cognizance of delays in servicing debt obligations in the recent past as reflected from credit bureau information report of the company. Also, the company has not provided No Default Statement (NDS) for last 3 months consecutively which highlights an information risk.

About the Company

Incorporated in 1994, Ahmedabad based Kamakshi Suedpack Private Limited is engaged in reverse printing of bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)/ polyethylene (PE)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films as well as manufacturing of co-extruded three-layer films and various types of flexible pouches and bags. KSPL’s product portfolio includes stand-up pouches, sealed pouches, vacuum pouches, zipper pouches, patch handle bags, sealed bags etc. which finds application across various industry segments like packaged food, confectionary, grain packaging, pharmaceuticals and fertilizers. The company has its sole manufacturing facility located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. KSPL is promoted by SHG, Mr. Harish Goel and Mr. Narendra Dhupar.

Unsupported Rating

Not Applicable

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 preceeding 03 consecutive months. 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

This rating is based on information available from sources other than the issuer / borrower (in the absence of information provided by the issuer / borrower) . Acuite endeavoured to gather information about the entity/industry from the public domain. Any rating with the suffix 'Issuer not cooperating' is assigned without any management interaction with the issuer entity or any data / information from the entity. Sometimes this non co-operation by a rated entity may be due to a result of deterioration in the credit risk profile of the entity. 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. For more details, please refer Rating Criteria “Complexity Level Of Financial Instruments” on www.acuite.in.
