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

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities of Mro-Tek Realty Limited (MRL) at 'CRISIL B+/Stable/CRISIL A4'.
 
The ratings reflect large working capital requirements, susceptibility to volatile raw material prices and foreign exchange fluctuations along with below average financial risk profile. These weaknesses are partially offset by healthy order book position along with diversified operations and strong financial support from promoters.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans to the tune of Rs. 20.76 crores outstanding as on March 31, 2019 have been treated as debt in absence of such track record of non-withdrawal of such funds.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Healthy order book position along with diversified operations
MRL has a healthy order book position of around Rs. 45 crore to be executed by the end of Fiscal 2020. Further, the company has applied for orders of around Rs. 60 - Rs. 70 crore. MRL has also diversified its business into five major segments viz; sale of networking products, networking solutions, electronic manufacturing services, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and real estate. Thus, supported by a healthy order book and benefits of diversification, the scale of operations are expected to improve over the medium term
 
* Strong financial support from promoters:
MRL's liquidity is backed by support extended by the promoters outstanding to the tune of Rs. 39.01 crore as on December 31, 2019. These funds are expected to remain in business over the medium term. Timely fund infusion to ensure debt servicing will remain a key rating sensitivity factor.
 
Weaknesses:
* Large working capital requirement
Operations have been working capital intensive, with gross current assets, inventory, and receivables around 346 days, 162 days and 69 days, respectively, as on March 31, 2019. Working capital levels are expected to remain range bound over the medium term.
 
* Susceptibility to volatile raw material prices and foreign exchange fluctuations
The bulk of raw material requirement is imported, largely various electrical and electronic components. Therefore, exposure of profits to fluctuations in forex rates and equipment prices persists.
 
* Below average financial risk profile
Net worth has been low at Rs 3.6 crore as on March 31, 2019, with high total outside liabilities to adjusted net worth ratio of 12 times. Financial risk profile is expected to improve over the medium term supported by positive accretion to reserves.
Liquidity Stretched

MRL has stretched liquidity driven by expected cash accruals of more than Rs. 2 crore per annum in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021, fully utilized bank limits and unencumbered cash and cash equivalents of Rs.0.12 crore as on March 31, 2019. The company does not have any major long term repayment obligation and no major capex plans over fiscal 2019 and 2020. The liquidity, however, is supported by unsecured loans extended by the promoters to the tune of Rs. 20.76 crore as on March 31, 2019. This funding support is expected to continue over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that MRL will maintain its presence in the networking, access equipment's and solutions industry over the medium term.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward Factors:
* Significant improvement in net cash accruals through improved scale of operations and sustenance of operating profitability to around 10%
* Improvement in capital structure through incremental fund infusion
 
Downward Factors:
* Decline in scale of operations and operating losses resulting in negative cash accruals
* Stretch in working capital cycle
* Deterioration in capital structure with TOLTNW stretching beyond 12 times
