Credit-Rating: Nove Misto`s upcoming bond issue assigned uaCC
Credit-Rating, a nationally recognized credit rating agency in Ukraine has today assigned a long-term credit rating of uaCC to UAH100m 10-year registered discount bonds (A-J series) to be issued by Kiev-based Nove Misto LLC (`Issuer` or `company`). The company`s primary activity is providing engineering services in the city of Kiev. Today the company implements investment projects in the city of Kiev. In the course of analysis Credit-Rating considered Issuer`s financial statements for 2003-2006 and 1Q2007 as well as other inside information furnished by the company.
An obligor or a debt liability with uaCC credit rating is characterized with the VERY HIGH DEFAULT POSSIBILITY.
Factors maintaining the credit rating
- The Issuer plans to render services in the real estate market of Kiev, where prices and demand have been growing over the past few years.
Factors constraining the credit rating
- Issuer`s information intransparency and vagueness.
- The Issuer`s liabilities of UAH100m on the bond issue almost 56x exceed Issuer`s asset balance of UAH1.8m as of Mar. 31, 2007.
- Issuer`s detrimental performance during its entire period of operation with the uncovered loss accounting for UAH305.4K as of Apr.1, 2007.
- Instability in legislation and tax environment controlling both the construction industry and project financing.
