1 crore = 10 million
Refer to annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
*Issuer did not cooperate; based on best-available information
Detailed Rationale

Due to inadequate information, CRISIL, in line with SEBI guidelines, had migrated the rating of Jakharia Fabric Limited (JFL; part of Jakharia group) to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable Issuer Not Cooperating'. However, the management has subsequently started sharing requisite information, necessary for carrying out comprehensive review of the rating. Consequently, CRISIL is migrating the rating on the long term bank facilities of JFL from 'CRISIL BB-/Stable Issuer Not Cooperating' to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable'.
 
The rating continues to reflect extensive experience of the group's promoters in the textile industry and their funding support, along with a moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by susceptibility of the operating margin to volatility in raw material prices and risks associated with successful ramp up of its subsidiary.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the rating, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of JFL and its subsidiary, Jakharia Industries (JI) as both these entities, together referred to as the Jakharia group, have common promoters and are in the same business. Also, JFL is a partner in JI.
 
Out of the total unsecured loans outstanding at Rs 17 crore of the Jakharia group as on March 31, 2019, extended by the promoters and associated parties, Rs 12.74 crore has been treated as neither debt nor equity as these loans are expected to remain in the business over the medium term; the remaining has been treated as debt.

Please refer Annexure - List of entities consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Extensive experience of promoters: Presence of more than two decades in the textile industry has enabled the promoters to establish strong relationships with its existing customers and also increase its customer base.
 
* Moderate financial risk profile: Group's networth and total outside liabilities to adjusted net worth (TOLANW) ratio were moderate at around Rs 45.53 crore and 1.38 times as on March 31, 2019. Debt protection metrics has been comfortable marked by interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios at 7.0 times and 0.13 time, respectively, in fiscal 2019.
 
Weaknesses:
* Exposure to volatility in prices of key inputs: Key raw materials (colours and chemicals for dyeing, coal and lignite for boilers) account for 50-55% of the total production cost and any fluctuation in their prices can adversely affect the operating margin.
 
* Successful scale up of its subsidiary: JI has commenced its operations in June 2019. Successful scale up of its operations and sustenance of same will be key rating sensitive factor.
Liquidity Stretched

Group has stretched liquidity marked by tightly matched accruals to meet term debt obligations of Rs.5.89 crore over fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021. The company has access to fund based limits of Rs 3 crore, which are almost fully utilized over the 12 months ended September 30, 2019. Group had cash and cash equivalents of Rs 5.36 crore as on March 31, 2019. Liquidity risk is partly mitigated by funding support from promoters in the form of unsecured loans which stood at Rs.17 crore as on March 31, 2019.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes Jakharia group will continue to benefit over the medium term from the extensive experience of its promoters and their funding support.
 
Rating Sensitivity Factor
Upward factor
* Successful ramp up of operations of JI with revenue growth of 10-15% in JFL leading to accruals of group of more than Rs 9 crore
* Maintenance of capital structure and working capital cycle
 
Downward factor
* Delay in ramping up of JI or decline in revenue growth of 10-15% in JFL leading to accruals less than Rs 6 crore
* Increase in working capital requirement, larger-than-expected debt-funded capex or acquisition, or more-than-expected capital withdrawals, weakening the financial risk profile, particularly liquidity.
