1 Ratings Facilities Coimbatore Capital Limited January 6, 2017 Amount Short-term Bank Facilities Total Facilities (Rupees Thirty Seven crore only) Details of instruments/facilities in Anneuxre-1 Rating 1 [A Three] Rating Action Reaffirmed The rating continues to factor in the long track record of Coimbatore Capital Limited (CCap) in the business of offering equity and derivative broking services supported by the presence of experienced promoters and top management. The rating also favourably considers the comfortable leverage indicators, satisfactory compliance track record, and adequate risk management systems of CCap. The rating is, however, constrained by the relatively small size of operations of CCap, its low capitalisation level, geographic concentration and high reliance on business associates. The rating also factors in the absence of revenue diversification, particularly in light of the highly volatile and intensely competitive industry in which CCap operates. The ability of CCap to improve its business volumes, grow its income and cash accruals while maintaining the comfortable capital structure form the key rating sensitivities. CCap was promoted by Mr D. Balasundaram, an industrialist and a director in some of the KG group of companies. Mr D. Balasundaram is the former president and founder-director of Coimbatore Stock Exchange. He is also the founder director of inter-connected stock exchange of India. The executive director, Mr Venkateswaran, has nearly three decades of experience in various facets of business administration. The other directors are also well-qualified and experienced. CCap has been in the stock broking business since 1995 with a satisfactory track record of complying with the stipulations of the exchange with respect to maintaining adequate capital (margin) for trading purposes. CCap also has a dedicated compliance officer, who is responsible for monitoring the compliance of various acts, rules and regulations, notifications, guidelines, etc, issued by the various regulatory agencies. The company also strictly enforces the KYC norms as prescribed by the regulatory authorities. CCap has set limits for its clients for trading in the cash and F&O market to mitigate counterparty risk and procedures for handling transactions in the cash as well as F&O segment. CCap also sets limit on client-wise exposure and receives deposits from the franchisees. Furthermore, the company has also strengthened the collection of dues from clients and charges interest after the settlement date itself, resulting in considerable amount of income earned as compensation for delayed payments made by customers. CCap is a small-sized regional player with services catered only to retail clients in the stock broking business operating through 105 business locations (as on March 31, 2016), primarily located in Tamil Nadu. The business clientele of CCap is entirely constituted by the retail investors community.
