Rating Rationale
­ACUITE has downgraded the long term rating to ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) from ‘ACUITE B+’ (read as ACUITE B plus)on the Rs. 22.00 crore bank facilities of King Kaveri Trading Company (KKTC ). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on best available information.
The downgrade is on account of the feedback received from the banker that the account had been classified as NPA (Non Perfoming Asset).The company has been non-cooperative with us since the past four years and has not been submitting No Default Statement (NDS) also.

About the Company
­Navi Mumbai-based KKTC was established as a partnership firm by Mr. Suresh Arora and Mr. Shashikant Kumbhar in 2005. The firm is an exclusive distributor of Fuwa axles and Sunrise wheel rims for Guangdong Fuwa Engineering Group Company Limited and Xiamen Sunrise Wheel Group Company Limited in India. The firm also specializes in trailer and semi-trailer parts which have helped KKTC maintain operating margins throughout the years.
 
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 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 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.
