Credit-Rating, a nationally recognized credit rating agency in Ukraine has today assigned a long-term credit rating of uaBBB to UAH80.9m 1-year registered housing bonds (L2-B4 series) to be issued by Kharkiv-based Trest Zhytlobud-1 OJSC (Issuer or company). Credit-Rating has also assigned a long-term credit rating of uaBBB to UAH100m 9-year registered discount bonds (C4 series) issued by the company. The outlook on both ratings is Positive. The Issuers principal activity is investing and construction. Today the company implements 11 construction projects all located in the city of Kharkiv. In the course of analysis Credit-Rating considered Issuers financial statements for 2002-2006 and 9M2007 as well as other inside information furnished by the company.
An obligor or a debt liability with uaBBB credit rating is characterized with the SUFFICIENT creditworthiness as compared to other Ukrainian obligors or debt liabilities. This level of creditworthiness is affected by adverse changes in commercial, financial and economic conditions.
