Refer to annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its rating on the long-term bank facilities of Khanna Polyweave Private Limited (KPPL) at 'CRISIL BB/Stable'.
 
The ratings reflect the extensive experience of the promoters and moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by susceptibility of operating margin to volatility in raw material prices, modest scale of operations in competitive industry and high customer concentration.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans from promoter Rs 4.33 crore as on 31st March 2019 is treated as neither debt nor equity since it is expected to be retained in business for the medium term.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive experience of the promoters: Supported by more than three decades of experience of promoters KPPL has established healthy relations with customers and suppliers while navigating through business cycles over the years. CRISIL believes the experience is likely to benefit the company grow over the medium term.
 
* Moderate financial risk profile: Networth has been modest at Rs 8.03 crore in fiscal 2019. The total outside liabilities to adjusted networth was moderate at 2.49 times as on March 31, 2019. Debt protection metrics were comfortable with interest coverage of 1.95 times and net cash accrual to total debt (NCATD) ratios at 0.15 time as on March 31, 2019.
 
Weakness
* Susceptibility of operating margin to volatility in raw material prices: Polypropylene yarn is the key input for manufacturing bags, accounting for 90-95% of raw material requirement. Prices of Polypropylene, being a crude derivative, are volatile. Accordingly, its operating margin will remain susceptible to volatility in raw material prices over medium term.
 
* Modest scale of operations in competitive industry: While the revenue has been growing at a moderate pace of 11% CAGR over the two-years through fiscal 2019, the scale continues to remain modest with estimated revenue of Rs 81.11 crore in fiscal 2019 in a highly competitive industry
 
* Concentration Risk: The Company faces the risk of customer concentration whereby top 5-6 customer account for 100% revenue.
 
Liquidity: Stretched
KPPL has stretched liquidity marked by marginal cash and cash equivalents of Rs 0.86 crore as on March 31, 2019 and tightly matched accruals to term debt obligations of Rs 0.82 crore over FY20 as well as FY21. The Company has access to fund based limits of Rs 8 crore, which are almost fully utilized over the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. The liquidity risk is mitigated by funding support from promoters in the form of unsecured loans which stood at Rs 4.33 crore as on March 31, 2019.
Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes KPPL will continue to benefit over the medium term from the extensive experience of its promoters
 
Rating Sensitivity Factor
Upward factor
* Significant improvement in capital structure with TOLANW below 1.8 times and debt protection metrics through an incremental fund infusion
* Sustained growth in revenues along with improved operating profitability and sustained working capital cycle.
 
Downward factor
* Decline in profitability resulting in net cash accruals falling below Rs. 1.5 crore
* Larger-than-expected, debt-funded capex, stretch in working capital cycle or sizeable dividend payout, weakening the financial risk profile, particularly liquidity
