Rationale/Description of Key Rating Drivers/Rating sensitivities: BWR has essentially relied upon Simran Fisheries Pvt Ltd (SFPL) Audited Financial Statements from FY15 to FY18 & projected financials for FY19 for ease in understanding and comparison. SFPL has also provided the projected financial statements for FY20, publicly available information and information / clarification provided by the SFPL management. The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of SFPL draws strength from consistent rse in TNW, steady increase in PAT, moderate coverage ratios, increase in current ratio, fishing rights to five dams. The ratings are however constrained by dip in revenue, limited experience of promoters, dependence on a single reservoir. Going forward the firm’s ability to improve sales, debt servicing capability, maintain the profitability and reducing dependence on a single reservoir would be the key rating sensitivities.
