Rating Rationale
Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE B-’ (read as ACUITE B minus) on the Rs. 6.00 crore bank facilities of Sona Synthetics. The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.
About the Company
Established in 1999, the Mumbai based Sona Synthetics has Mr. Hiteshree Shailesh Shah, Dhruv Shailesh Shah and Jiten Nathalal Shah as partners. The partnership firm is engaged in the processing of yarn into synthetic fabric. Out of their entire produce, 75 per cent is sold as processed yarn and 25 per cent is made into cloth/fabric. Out of the fabric that is sold, 50 per cent is plain and 50 per cent is printed. Their suppliers include domestic traders and their customers include wholesalers which sell the fabric for manufacturing shirts. Their monthly capacity is around 100 metric tonnes per month of which they are currently utilising 50 percent.
Unsupported Rating
Not Applicable
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 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.
