Shirdi Industries Ltd : Braving the sentiments with an IPO

After a long time am I seeing a company braving the current slide in the market with an IPO. The past few IPOs have been quite a disaster for companies. Air Deccan's take-off in this market has been quite unsuccessful as is the same when it launched its first flight. Hope it has a better flight journey in the days to come. The others like Vigneshwara Exports tried to lower the price like Air Deccan in the hope of increasing some buying interest. Well, it had to return its money at the end. Prime focus and Allcargo all have seen some erosion in prices. However, given these conditions, Shirdi Industries defying the market comes with an IPO.

These are my thoughts on this company....They are personal views and I do hope it is able to raise its money successfully.

  • Size of the IPO 44-50 crores
  • The issue will be open from the 29th of June to the 05th of July.
  • The company was incorporated in 1993 and the company is planning the current issue for manufacturing MDF and particle boards, flooring, door skins, laminates and door and furniture components


About the Company
The company was incorporated in 93 and primarily dealt with trading of forward sell options. Later, the company started to import raw materials from south east Asia and sold it under the ASIS brand. The current issue deals with this segment to increase its capacity in the manufacturing segment.


  • The company is in B2B and mainly uses its dealership to induce sales. Discount may hamper margins and also cash flow. The details on the cash flows has been dealt in the later section.
  • Sales is limited to a few states. The IPO does not talk of strengthening the distribution set-up, which I think is crucial to develop business in the long run.
  • Internal competition is mainly from local, un-organised sector. The plywood industry has seen a few closures due to unhygenic practices.
  • China is the largest producer of this company's product of MDF. The growth of this segment by China is around 40% while India's production increased by 2%. In the hard board, India manufactures 10% of Chinese production. Hence, any entrants of Chinese products will lead to a price war. India manufactures 0.4% of Chinese production.


Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss

A look into the manufacturing division of the company is revealing some startling results. The company seems to have done well in this divison. The company sales has increased from 80 crores to around 1300 crores last year. If you see the improvement in bottom-line, this comes to around 30% net margins (the assumption is that trading sales has a margin of 10%, other incomes and consultancy at 100%)

  • The ROE is around 11% as of last year. However, a significant portion of this ROE is from the manufacturing division. The ROE has improved from 2% to the current level
  • The ROCE, a better indicator of the business is also at similar levels of approximately 10%. This margin has moved from 8.5% last year

Depreciation seems to have been understated. The company has added 52 crores of assets last year, a 5 time increase in assets. However, the depreciation provision has increased only 35%. This can be possible only if the company has made substantial acquisition in land.

The cash flows of the company has been varied and strictly nothing conclusive is coming out of it. While the company has achieved a strong cash flow for the current year, the cash flows was negative on three of the five years. Also, the increase for the current year has been mainly on account of increase in creditors and the company has consistently increased its debtors over the years.

Capital Structure

Again, yet another disappointing capital structure for the company. The promoters have acquired the shares at around Rs.11. The company has made an allotment to a foreign company at around Rs. 53.84. With the euro currently at around Rs. 58, and the issue price at around Rs. 69-78, this company has got an exit option with about 18% profit in a year. Infact, the lock in period on this investment by this foreign company has just come to an end for 85% of its investment. Anyway, given that the promoters have made an excellent deal in this company, at buying it extremely cheap, its now time for the public to understand if this pricing is correctly valued.

The current issue has some interesting facts:
The company needs Rs.127 crores for its funding requirements. Of the 127 the company has already tied in funds of approximately Rs.87 crores. The remaining 40 crores is coming from this IPO. At current issue price of Rs. 69 the company is expected to raise 44 crores, giving it a margin of Rs. 4 crores. Well, that is around 10% higher than the company requirements. Will we see a reduction of price due to poor market conditions?

Investment Positives
The only positive that I saw in this company was the strength of the new business. The new business seems to have strong earnings potential given the sector of housing is seeing strong growth. The company has a strong pricing power given the margins on the business.

Investment Negatives

  • The company has not paid any dividends since 1998.
  • Company has entered into various businesses such as in finance companies, reality, and biotech. The group companies, especially one of them Poona Pearl Biotek has shown a 16 times increase in losses last year
  • Current networth is 38 crores and the company is raising close to 44-50 crores in this issue
  • The issue is two and a half times the current book value of the share and the promoters have acquired the shares at half this price
  • Legal Proceedings against the company's directors are a bit hazy. The promoters are being sued for acting on personal interests. Though the claims are on the lower side, it still raises doubt on the management.
  • The current earnings is at Rs.2.4 and even at the lower end the pricing of the issue will be at 28 times its current earnings. As a relatively unknown brand for the public, I personally believe this to be on the higher side.

Others:

  • Though the lead managers has fallen to Allianz Securities, Edelweiss Securities seems to have taken the onus of selling the issue to the market. 50% of the issue is being underwritten by this company.
  • The MOA has a whole paragraph of more than 15 lines on IT and the scope of operations it can undertake. This comes as a surprise, as it is the first time that you will hear IT from the company. The sales figures, does not indicate any revenues from this stream
  • The promoters group companies are a big question on sustainability. A host of companies, pretty closely held. Most of them are showing high variability in sales across years. While this is does not impact the company directly, however, a company that has not paid dividend in the past five years, and the promoters having a clutch of companies with high volatility in sales, does not ring the right bell.
  • The salary earned by directors are unnecessarily confusing. The perks are close to 2.5 times the salary being earned. At first glance, it looks like the company is paying only Rs. 35000 for the promoters every month. However, once you add all the perks it increases to around 1.15 lakhs on the lower side.
  • The company seems to be quite sure that the price change could be possible as it has marked this sentence in bold that the change shall by duly intimated to the exchanges.

Given the above information, I personally believe that this IPO can be passed and the investor rather have his money invested in the direct market. However, these are only my personal observations.

Loyalty Bonus. This is exactly as it sounds. All honest online casinos, and offline ones too, want to keep hold of their good returning customers, and will offer loyalty bonuses, including free casino chips, as a result.



Are you new to casino slots, Baccarat, or any other type of online casino game? Some sites provide you the opportunity to participate in a virtual casino school. Some sites have tutorials to explain the rules and nuances of certain games. The web resources are there to enable you to play blackjack and beyond with the best of them. [url=http://www.onlinecasinos5.com]online casino bonus[/url]
[img]http://www.bodog.com/publish/etc/medialib/bodogcom_media_lib/home-page-logo.Par.68918.Image.gif[/img]
The online casinos do offer free drinks or hotel room, but it offers free money, lotteries, and more stuff. One of the advantages of playing in online casinos is that you can save money on airline tickets, hotel rooms and that you think you can earn that money or use of this money to play in the online casinos. Drawbacks to play in the online casinos is that you do not get the free drinks while you play and you do not get to go out to clubs or places like if you go to Las Vegas.


First, never choose a casino on the sole basis of his ranking in the search engine results. They are not necessarily good rankings on how a casino. You must go through several online casino sites to compare the benefits in detail and then make a decision. For example, should offer a bonus and, if so, how much. Are there any special promotions available?



One method to check the reliability of online casinos is to check the software vendor from whom they have leased their games. Currently, the casino software developers in the market who are reputed to produce ethical and quality casino software are Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech and CryptoLogic Inc.

Matching Deposit Bonus. This is where the house will match your deposit. Often this is done in multiples. For example, a 200% bonus will mean that if you were to deposit $100 then the casino would add $200 in free casino chips to your account. Very nice! Especially useful for new players starting out.


But the best indicator of an honest online casino is by personal recommendation. This also includes affiliation of such casinos into trusted casino websites and portals. If an offer of free casino chips is made by an online casino on such a site then it can probably be trusted.
Do you want to know how to take the maximum advantage of the bonuses and promotions that the different online casinos offer? onlinecasinos5.com spills the secrets of exactly how you can do it! A case study released by onlinecasinos5.com showed the following scenario that utilizes the optimal strategy to leverage your casino deposit to your advantage. This technique will work on ALL online casinos not just onlinecasinos5.com. This is what happened with an "ideal" client in this case study:

Another feature of casino slots online is the loyalty factor. Some virtual gaming sites offer bonus credits to you every time you make a deposit to your account. If you're going to play on a regular basis, it pays to sign up with a site the pays a dividend back to you. There's a myriad of online casinos available for you to choose. Take the time to investigate what's available. Take the time to learn the games you want to play. Utilize all a casino site has to offer you to help you play better. Plan your playing, plan your budget, and let the online games begin.
Online Casinos, believe it or not could be the best solution for some. I know that some of us, including me, like to go to Vegas or other places to play in their casinos, but this is not possible all the time. For all of us who do not have time, online casino gambling is the best solution.

Beginner's Route to Online Casinos
The online casinos are a great source of entertainment and fun. That said, there are a number of things you should take into consideration before playing. Choosing the right casino should be your first step in your quest for a great gaming experience online. As such, choosing the right casino will lead you to have a lot of fun and also win at the same time. If you find yourself with a pathetic online casino, you are bound to run into a lot of problems with poor graphics low-wage outs.



One method to check the reliability of online casinos is to check the software vendor from whom they have leased their games. Currently, the casino software developers in the market who are reputed to produce ethical and quality casino software are Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech and CryptoLogic Inc.

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that automotive accident my life would be changed for good. Unfortunately that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How lousy was it? I has bedridden for 7 months, I had to have constant care and my medical bills went through the roof!

Gratefully, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this year to tell you more about what I have been going through.
