Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities of Krupa Chaton Manufacturing Company Private Limited (KCMCPL) at 'CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+'.

CRISIL has also withdrawn its ratings on the term loan facilities of KCMCPL on the request of the company for withdrawal of ratings. The rating action is in line with CRISIL's policy on withdrawal of ratings on bank facilities.

The ratings continues to reflect the promoter's extensive experience in chaton manufacturing business and moderate capital structure. These rating strength are partially offset by susceptibility to intense competition, large working capital requirements and average debt protection metrics.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL had earlier consolidated view for Bright Engineering Works (BEL), Krupa Trading Co. (KTC), Art Beads Private Limited (ABPL), and KCMCPL; however since ABPL was merged with KCMCPL and the BEL and KTC are not operational. Hence, CRISIL has adopted standalone approach for rating of KCMCPL.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Promoters' extensive experience in the glass chaton manufacturing and marketing business:
The promoters have been in the business for over three decades. They have long-standing relationships with customers and suppliers. The promoters have developed the company into a leading supplier of glass chatons.

* Moderate capital structure: Capital structure stands moderate marked by gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth of 1.15 times and 1.3 times. The capital structure is expected to improve over the medium term on account of repayment of term loans and no major capex plans.

Weaknesses:
* Susceptibility to changes in consumption trends and intense competition

Glass chatons are embellishment items and hence the demand for these comes from sectors such as ready-made garments, handicrafts, imitation jewellery, shoes, and bags, which are subject to changes in consumer tastes and preferences. Furthermore, recently the industry has seen a surge in imports from China, significantly reducing the sales realisations.

* Large working capital requirements: Operations are working capital intensive, reflected in gross current assets of 156 days as on March 31, 2019. This is on account of high estimated inventory of 135 days as on March 31, 2019 due to different variety and sizes of chatons to be maintained. Limited credit from suppliers leads to high utilisation of the bank lines. Management of working capital will be key monitorable.

* Average debt protection metrics: Company has average debt protection metrics as reflected in estimated interest coverage of 2 times and net cash accruals to total debt (NCATD) of 0.08 times in fiscal 2019. Debt protection measures are expected to remain at similar levels over the medium term backed by moderate profitability and debt levels.
Liquidity

KCMCPL has moderate liquidity driven by expected cash accruals of about Rs.9-11 crore per annum in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 and estimated cash and cash equivalents of about Rs.5 crore as on March 31, 2019. KCMCPL also has access to fund based limits of Rs.41 crore, utilized to the tune of 95% on an average over the 12 months ended May 2019. The company has long term repayment obligations around Rs.2.84 crore in fiscal 2020 and no further repayment obligations.  CRISIL expects internal accruals, cash & cash equivalents, and unutilised bank lines to support incremental working capital requirements over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes KCMCPL will continue to benefit from the extensive industry experience of its promoters. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if a substantial increase in the scale up operations and operating profitability, leads to better financial profile. The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the financial risk profile, especially liquidity, deteriorates on account of decline in cash accrual, a stretch in the working capital cycle, or large, debt-funded capital expenditure.

About the Company

KCMCPL was incorporated in 1987, and is promoted by Mr. Satish Vithalani. The company manufactures glass chatons (beads) that are used for embellishment of garments, manufacturing of imitation jewellery, fashion accessories, handbags, handicraft, and decorative items.  The company has its manufacturing unit in Valsad, Gujarat.
