Rating Rationale

­Acuité has downgraded the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE B-’ (read as ACUITE B minus) and short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A4’ (read as ACUITE A four) on the Rs. 4.96 Cr. bank facilities of Yes Knits (YK) on account of information risk. The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on best available information.


About the Company

Yes Knits (YK), established in 2001, is a Tamil Nadu-based proprietorship firm promoted by Mr. Senthil Kumar. The firm is involved in production of knitted garments and exports the same to USA and European countries. The administrative office and the manufacturing unit are located in Tirupur.

 
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.
