Press Release South Malabar Steels and Alloys Private Limited Press Release South Malabar Steels and Alloys Private Limited February 11, 2021 Ratings Amount Facilities Rating1 Rating Action (Rs. crore) Revised from CARE BB; CARE BB-; Stable; Stable (Double B; Outlook: ISSUER NOT COOPERATING* Long -term Bank Facilities 7.52 Stable) and moved to (Double B Minus; Outlook: Stable; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING ISSUER NOT COOPERATING*) category CARE A4; Rating moved to ISSUER ISSUER NOT COOPERATING* NOT COOPERATING Short-term Bank Facilities 1.50 (A Four; category ISSUER NOT COOPERATING*) 9.02 Total Facilities (Rs. Nine Crores and Two Lakhs Only) Details of facilities in Annexure-1 *Based on best available information Detailed Rationale & Key Rating Drivers CARE has been seeking information, to carry out annual surveillance, from South Malabar Steels and Alloys Private Limited (SMSAPL) to monitor the rating(s) vide e-mail communications dated January 14, 2021, January 21, 2021, January 25, 2021, January 27, 2021 and numerous phone calls. However despite our repeated requests, the company has not provided the information for monitoring the requisite ratings. In line with the extant SEBI guidelines, CARE has reviewed the rating on the basis of the best available information which however, in CARE’s opinion is not sufficient to arrive at a fair rating. The rating on South Malabar Steels and Alloys Private Limited bank facilities will now be denoted as CARE BB-; Stable/CARE A4; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING. Further due diligence with the lender and auditor could not be conducted. Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and the public at large) are hence requested to exercise caution while using the above rating. The rating has been revised on account of non-availability of requisite information due to non-cooperation by SMSAPL with CARE’s efforts to undertake a review of the rating outstanding. CARE views information availability risk as a key factor in its assessment of credit risk. Detailed description of the key rating drivers At the time of last rating on November 26, 2019, the following were the major rating strengths and weaknesses: Key Rating Weaknesses Marginal decline in profitability margins during review period The profitability margins of SMASPL were thin during FY19. The PBILDT margin had marginally declined by 20 bps and stood at 2.17% in FY19 as against 2.37% in FY18 on account of fluctuating raw material costs along with fluctuation in foreign prices (USD). The company had achieved a PAT margin of 0.78% in FY19 as compared to 1.06% in FY18 as a result of increase in interest cost and depreciation. Deterioration in capital structure and debt coverage indicators The capital structure of the company was marked by an overall deterioration in gearing and stood at 2.54x as on March 31, 2019 as against 1.93x as on March 31, 2018 due to an increase in the total debt of the company. The debt coverage indicators of the company were moderate, but deteriorated, during the review period. Total debt/GCA of the company stood at 8.66x in FY19 as against 5.83x in FY18. TD/CFO of the company further deteriorated and stood negative at 8.28x in FY19 as compared to 3.15x in FY18. The PBILDT interest coverage ratio of the company had decreased and stood at 3.51x in FY19 as compared to 5.19x in FY18 on back of increase in interest costs over the period as a result of an increase in the usage of working capital facility and increase in term loans taken for the purchase of machinery. Geographic concentration risk SMSAPL is primarily located in the Kerala, as the company sells its products in southern region, which results in high geographical concentration risk. SMSAPL is also likely to face intense competition from well - established players as well. 1Complete definitions of the ratings assigned are available at www.careratings.com and in other CARE publications. 1 CARE Ratings Limited Press Release Highly fragmented and competitive nature of industry and foreign exchange fluctuation risk SMSAPL manufactures TMT steel bars, rods, flats, squares and ingots in a highly fragmented and competitive market segment marked by the presence of numerous players. Given the fact that the entry barriers to the industry are low, the players in the industry do not have pricing power and are exposed to competition induced pressures on profitability. Key Rating Strengths Experience of promoters for more than three decades in steel industry and established track record of the company Mr. K. P. Ummer, Managing Director of the company, is a commerce graduate who has more than three decades of experience in manufacturing of steel bars, rods, flats, squares and ingots. He has experience in steel rerolling mills of iron and steel industry. Smt. Naziya Ummer, Director, is a commerce graduate and has 20 years of experience in this business. They are involved in the overall operations of the company. SMSAPL has an established track record of 18 years in the steel industry. The company has established strong relationship with its customers and suppliers due to the long experience of the promoters. Increase in total operating income during review period The total operating income of the company had improved by ~27% and stood at Rs.119.56 crore in FY19 as compared to Rs.94.15 crore in FY18 on account of improving market conditions in the steel industry resulting in an increase in demand for TMT steel bars, rods, flats, squares and ingots. This had, in turn, led to an increase in the production and the price charged by ~10% as compared to the previous year. The net worth of the company, however had remained small, improved and stood at Rs.6.36 crore in FY19 as compared to Rs.5.43 crore due to accretion of profits to the reserves of the company. Comfortable operating cycle The operating cycle of the company was comfortable standing at 30 days in FY19 as against 20 days in FY18. The company generally maintains around two months of inventory for ensuring uninterrupted production line. In addition to raw material stock, inventory also includes work-in-progress as well as finished goods to meet the customers’ requirements. SMSAPL receives payment from its customers within 15-20 days resulting in comfortable average collection period of 27 days in FY19 over 24 days in FY18. The company uses foreign letter of credit (tenure up-to 90 days) to make payment to its foreign supplier which results in average creditors’ period of 45 -60 days during review period. The creditor days stood at 36 days in FY19. The average working capital utilization was 85% during the last 12 months ended September 30, 2019. Established relations with customers and suppliers SMSAPL, being established in 1996, has established good relations with its customers and suppliers. The company supplies the products to around 250 customers across two states; Kerala and Karnataka. The company has well established foreign and domestic suppliers and has maintained good relations with them, i.e. Al Fadhi Metal Scrap Trading, Kuttippulan Iron & Steels Co.

MARA, M.D. Senior Adviser and Team-leader, WHO Malaria-Control Demonstration Team, Suleimaniya, Iraq formerly, Senior Adviser and Team-leader, WHO Malaria-Control Demonstration Team, South Malabar Manuscript received in January 1954 SYNOPSIS The author describes the activities and achievements of a two- year malaria-control demonstration-organized by WHO, UNICEF, the Indian Government, and the Government of Madras State- in South Malabar. Widespread insecticidal work, using a dosage of 200 mg of DDT per square foot (2.2 g per m2), protected 52,500 people in 1950, and 115,500 in 1951, at a cost of about Rs 0/13/0 (US$0.16) per capita. The final results showed a considerable decrease in the size of the endemic areas; in the spleen- and parasite-rates of children; and in the number of malaria cases detected by the team or treated in local hospitals and dispensaries. During December 1949 a malaria-control project, undertaken jointly by WHO, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Govern- ment of India, and the Government of Madras State, started operations in the malarious areas among the foothills and tracts of Ernad and Walavanad taluks in South Malabar. During 1951 the operational area was extended to include almost all the malarious parts of Ernad and Walavanad as well as the northernmost part of Palghat taluk (see map 1 a). The staff of the international team provided by WHO consisted of a senior adviser and team-leader and a public-health nurse.

  • Two Endemic Viverrids of the Western Ghats, India
    Two endemic viverrids of the Western Ghats, India N. V. K. Ashraf, A. Kumar and A. J. T. Johnsingh The Malabar and brown palm civets, Viverra civettina and Paradoxurus jerdoni, are both endemic to the Western Ghats of south-west India. Little is known about them and in 1990 a survey was conducted in three parts of the Western Ghats to assess their status. This revealed that isolated populations of Malabar civet still survive in less disturbed areas of South Malabar but they are seriously threatened by habitat destruction and hunting because they are outside protected areas. The brown palm civet is not immediately threatened because there are about 25 protected areas within its distribution range. Recommendations have been made for conservation action to ensure the survival of these animals. Introduction Mountains, Madurai, Tamil Nadu.

As a result, Kerala now has some of the Third World's highest levels of health, education, and social justice. Originally published in 1989, this book traces the role that movements of social justice played in Kerala's successful struggle to redistribute wealth and power. A 21-page introduction updates the earlier edition. This book underlines the following positive lessons that the Kerala experience offers to developing countries: Radical reforms deliver benefits to the poor even when per capita incomes remain low. Popular movements and militant progressive organizations with dedicated leaders are necessary to initiate and sustain reform. Despite their other benefits, radical reforms cannot necessarily create employment or raise per capita income.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE and CASTE IDENTIFICATION
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE AND CASTE IDENTIFICATION: DISTANCIATION AND SPATIAL IMAGINARIES ON A CASTE-BASED SOCIAL NETWORK. Jillet Sarah Sam, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor George Ritzer, Sociology This thesis studies the potency of place in mobilizing social categories, and its implications for both social categories and places. I use the theory of distanciation to study associations between caste identity and place. I conducted an ethnographic study of a caste-based digital group, the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar, to understand the connections and disconnections between the Thiyya caste and Malabar from the perspectives of different sets of actors involved in the identification of caste, namely the nation-state and members of this caste-based network. The nation-state knows the Thiyya caste in a manner that is disconnected from Malabar, while the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar seek to re-emphasize the identification of this caste through the region. Participant observation and in-depth interviews indicate that through references to Malabar, the group seeks to establish a Thiyya caste identity that is distinct from the Ezhavas, a caste group within which the nation-state subsumes them. I demonstrate that references to Malabar serve to counter the stigma that the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar experience when the spatially abstract categorization of the Thiyyas interacts with notions of caste inferiority/superiority. Further, it serves as a mobilizational tool through which they hope to negotiate with the nation-state for greater access to affirmative action. I also demonstrate that caste identification continues to be relevant to the production of place. Place-based identification of the Thiyyas influences the manner in which the group envisions the physical boundaries of Malabar and how other social groups can belong to this region.

  • 1 NEED for the PLAN Ponnani Town Is a Known Trade Centre in the History of Malabar and Is Situated in the Malappuram District
    Master plan for Ponnani Town -2035 1 NEED FOR THE PLAN Ponnani town is a known trade centre in the history of Malabar and is situated in the Malappuram District. Ponnani, the taluk headquarters is enriched with rivers, lakes, canals and sea shore. With large facilities for eco tourism options, rich tradition, trade and service, the city is blooming as one of the major urban centre in Malappuram District. The chapter gives an insight into the town and specifies the need for a Master Plan in the area. For this the Master Plan area/ Ponnani town is delineated as the Ponnani Municipal area. 1.1 The Town Ponnani is an ancient coastal town and an important fishing center in Malappuram District. Spread over an area of 24.82 km2, the town is situated at the mouth of Bharathapuzha, the second longest river of the State, and is bounded by the Lakshadweep Sea on the west. Thus the town was prominent as a scenic, coastal town since ancient times. Being a major coastal town, the place has much historical significance too. It is often regarded as one of the oldest ports in South India and has contributed to the trade and economy of Malabar from very early times. Ponnani formerly known as Ponani and Paniyani is sometimes roughly identified with the port Tyndis of the Roman accounts. Ponnani taluk is the smallest taluk in Malappuram District. Panvel-Cochin national highway NH 66 (formerly NH 17) passes through the heart of the town. Ponnani has found a renowned place in the history related to Islamic history.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is an attempt to interpret the rebellion staged in 1921-22 by part of the Muslim community of the Malabar District of the Madras Presidency, a community known as the 'Moplahs' or ♦Mappillas'. Since, it is here argued, this challenge to British rule was a consequence of the impact of that power on social relations in rural Malabar starting with the earliest period of British control of the area, the genesis of the rising is traced from the cession of Malabar to the East India Company in 1792. Chapter 1 constitutes an investigation both of social relations in rural Malabar under the impact of British rule and of the limits of Moplah response under conditions in which rebellion was impracticable.
