The new government plans to fund up to 75% of the investment required to supply electricity through separate feeders for agricultural and rural domestic consumption, which will benefit the Power Sector Companies and ultimately boost the regional demand for power transformers. The government's commitment to provide 24x7 uninterrupted power supply to all homes and Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana to augment power supply to rural areas, strengthen the sub-transmission and distribution systems will ultimately boost the demand for Power Transformers.



IMPPL now also focuses on growing export market sales especially in Africa, Asia & Middle East, tying up with several International EPC players, which will improve its profitability owing to higher gross margin ranging from 25% to 30%.

Industry Outlook :

The Transformer market revenues in India are expected to grow at the CAGR of 14 % till 2018. Under the 12th five year plan (2012-2017), the government plans to spend 200 billion on developing and strengthening power infrastructure in India. The Indian government expects to add another 85,000 MW of power capacity during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017) period. The demand for power Transformers is also expected to go up as a direct consequence. Government's attempt of attaining 100% electrification across the country by 2017 would contribute to the demand for power transformers. With the continuous support from the government to promote the power transformer industry through investments, tax benefits, subsidies, etc. will help the industry to grow over the coming years. With the upswing demand for reliable power in the country, the transformer market is witnessing a growth trend.



Triggers :

Company has idle plot of 20,000 Sq.Ft. at Kandivali west, the value of which should be not less than 60 Crores, if sold on outright basis, if develop & sold by the company, it can fetch a sale consideration anywhere between 80 to 100 Crore, depending on the project.

IMPPL is the only transformer company in India which is entitled for Sales Tax Exemption till 2017, such benefit will provide a significant price advantage to the company.

IMP Energy Ltd (IEL), a subsidiary company of IMPPL, incorporated in the year 2012, is acting as a Project Management Consultancy (PMC) to explore emerging opportunities in mini and small hydro power projects upto 25 MW. IEL received 13 small Hydro projects orders totaling 12.7 MW & amounting to Rs 137 Cr in Leh & Kargil, the progress of which is extremely encouraging. There may be value unlocking going forward, by listing this PMC subsidiary at rich valuations.

Falling in Input Prices of raw material such as Copper, Aluminium, Steel Stampings, Crude Oil (Transformer Oil), etc, will directly add to the bottom line of the company. Fall in interest rates will reduce the interest burden of the company.

The company has done CAPEX during tough times, the benefit of which will be seen going forward.

Business Outlook :

In last few years, there was steady increase in cost of raw materials and the increasingly unfavourable exchange rate, which used to be an issue of concern, the company has recognized this situation and has made efforts to minimize the impact of this on the business and performance for the future years. The company is now in comfortable position due to falling input prices, which are at multi year lows and stable exchange rate, thanks to the RBI.

In recent years to facilitate smooth recovery of sales proceeds, the company has adopted various recovery measures and th debtor management system have resulted in improvement in the liquidity position of the company.

The comfortable liquidity position arising out of retained earnings over the preceding few years has enabled the Company to meet all its capital expenditure out of internal generation. The surplus remaining after meeting the capital expenditure has been kept invested partly in Fixed Maturity Plans (F.M.P.) and partly in Fixed Deposit Schemes for short periods with various banks/finance Companies/ mutual funds.

The business environment has started showing certain improvement and company expects that the business environment will improve further during the current year. Joint Venture with Allgaier Werke GmbH, Germany for Mozer Type Rotary Dryers and Coolers has been formed during the year FY 14 and capital investment has been made by the Company for manufacture of these Dryers at Nagpur Plant and Company expect these hi-tech equipment and systems to make substantial contribution to the performance of the Company in the current and the future years.

The current average blended capacity utilization runs at around 50-55% and thus, the company can easily manage a turnover of Rs.200-230 crores with the existing capacities on a single shift basis. 

The market demand for the products of Gear Box and Geared Motor Division has been increasing steadily during the last few years and the capacity enhancement undertaken by the Company in the recent past is expected to support the business growth in this area.

FOODS AND INNS LTD (BSE Code 507552) CMP 1000 (FACE VALUE RS 10)

The Company :

The Company, a public limited company established in 1971 is primarily engaged in the business of processing and marketing fruit pulps, concentrates and spray dried fruit and vegetable powders both into domestic and international markets. The Company exports its products to various geographies such as Europe, Middle East, USA and Japan catering to companies in the foods, beverage and dairy industry.

The Company through its various divisions viz. Aseptic, Canning, Spray Drying and Frozen Fruits, IQF Vegetables and Snacks products makes a diverse portfolio of processed food products.

The Company presently operates from seven (7) processing units strategically located near the fruit and vegetable growing areas at Chittoor (Andhra Pradesh), Valsad (Gujarat), Nasik (Maharashtra) and Mumbai.

Company is in final stages of installing two new lines i.e. spray drying & flavor compound / blending in the western region. This will add capacities and also give opportunity in the new value added products.

The Company’s units at Chittoor and Nasik are FSSC 22000-2010 accredited by DNV Business Assurance for food safety management of the Company. --- Valsad unit of the Company is ISO 22000 certifi ed. In addition to the above, the Company’s units are SGF accredited in recognition of the quality practices adopted by the Company over the years.These certifications enable the Company to sell its products in the regulated markets like Europe, USA and Japan.
The Company derives significant portion of its income from sale of range of mango products both in domestic as well as international markets. The domestic business of the Company is driven by its own sales and marketing network. The Company participates in leading international trade fairs and exhibitions such as Anuga (Germany), Sial (France), Gulf Food (Dubai) enabling the Company to procure customer orders.

Due to the availability of the entire process line in-house, the Company’s dependence on third parties for providing specific and customized processed products to its customers reduces to a large extent.

The Valuation :

The company having TTM sales of Rs 350 Cr, TTM EPS of Rs 167 per share, belonging to ambitious and high growth Food sector which is the flavor of the current bull market, is trading at a ridiculously cheap market cap of just 150 Cr, (Sales to Market Cap of just 0.35) that gives us PE ratio of Just over 6.5.

Company has ROE of 18% and ROCE of 12%, which will increase significantly going forward, as new production lines have commenced for high margin value added products.

(If we compare peers, Freshtrop Fruits with TTM sales of 125 crore and EPS of 7 is trading at Market cap of over 210 Crore and PE of close to 25. Another Tricom Fruits with TTM sales of less than 1 lakh rupee and negative EPS, Edelweiss bought 11% stake into it at an undisclosed amount.)

While Foods & Inns is a profit making high growth company, so why cant it trade atleast at 15 PE of FY15 estimate EPS of more than 175, that brings us to fair valuation of price close to Rs 2600 per share, while this hidden gem is available at just Rs 1000, giving scope of immense appreciation in medium to long term. Investors must buy and sit tightly on this stock to earn multibagger returns, before it comes into limelight of media and analyst.

Capital of the company is just 1.45 Cr (1.45 million shares), out of which management holds 46%, FII 1.45, 28.55% with HNI Investors, leaving only less than 3 lakhs shares with minority shareholders.

This sector has huge potential, especially when PM of India, Shri Narendra Modi himself has said many times, that to avoid wastage of fruits due to lack of warehousing and cold storage, fruit farmers should get ready market if producers of cola drinks adds 5% of fruit juice into their drinks. This will create huge demand for entire manufacturing line of fruit processing industry.

Triggers :

As per latest news of 20th Jan, EU has lifted ban on import of mangoes from India, this will give the company huge and lucrative high margin market of more than 28 country bloc, which follows EU guidelines, earlier on November 2014, during the visit of Shri Narendra Modi to Japan, Japanese authorities has expedited
procedural obligations to step up Mango import from India. Since new government is serious to help food processing industries, many such steps are expected in future also, this will only help the company going forward, which could be huge positive for the entire industry.

Company may sell off their Deonar unit and shift production to its Valsad or Nasik unit to reduce the debt, which can add atleast Rs 60 to 70 to its yearly EPS

In coming budget, this particular sector is likely to get huge sops to encourage domestic food processing industries, increase in export rebate, reducing of duties and taxes, discount in interest rates, all these can add another Rs 20 to 30 to its yearly EPS

Since company is loaded with high debt, falling interest rates will directly add to the bottomline from here on.

Falling food inflation, Bumper harvest, Direct Fertilizer subsidy Transfer to farmers, Removing of supply side bottlenecks, will only help company to source raw material from growers at a cheaper rates.

Likely to go for 10:1 Split or announce liberal bonus to widen investor base.

Stock has been in Trade to Trade since last many months, likely to come out soon, which will see huge price impact on the upside, once the shackles of “T” group is removed

Reduction in fuel price will help company reduce transportation cost substantially

Prozone Intu Properties Ltd (CMP 21)

 PROZONE INTU PROPERTIES – Rs 21 Target Rs 84

BSE : 534675 NSE : PROZONINTU (FACE VALUE RS 2)

PROZONE INTU PROPERTIES (PIP), formerly known as Prozone Capital Shopping Centres Limited (PCSC)  was demerged from Provogue on 10^th Feb, 2012, and was listed on stock exchange on 12^th Sept, 2012, is a joint venture between Provogue (India) and Intu Properties (UK), formerly known as Capital Shopping Centres (UK) in which Intu Properties holds 32.38% stake.

Intu Properties invested Rs 202 crore for 25% stake (via FDI Account) in FY07 valuing this company at Rs 808 cr then (Current Market cap of entire company is just 250 odd crore)

Intu Properties (UK) is one of the largest real estate company of UK which is owning & managing close to 8 billion Pounds of assets, Its strategy is to focus on large mixed development (Built-Lease & Built-Sell model) thus facilitates creation of debt-free assets and generating annuity income.

PIP has also got investment from Triangle Fund (South Africa) and Lewis Trust Group for three projects in Aurangabad, Coimbatore and Nagpur of Rs 367 Crore for 38% stake in 2008.

Business Strategy –

 To develop large scale Land Parcels for Mixed Use development.

 75% of the Land to be developed as Residential & Commercial – Build & Sell model

 25% of the Land to be developed as Retail – Build & Lease Model

 The Company follows this model so as the Cash Flows from Build & Sell portfolio facilitate the Build &

 lease model, Thus resulting into Debt Free Annuity Assets.

Residential Projects ‐ Strategy

 The Company invests and develops the entire Clubhouse and Site Infrastructure for the project

upfront before the Launch of the Project.

 The Clubhouse features all the Modern amenities and is spread across 4‐5 acres of Land.

 It provides credibility to the business as all the Amenities are developed Upfront and also all the

project permissions are in place.

 It thus accelerates the sale of the project, resulting into better cash flows.

 The company spends around Rs. 14 ‐15 cr on this upfront Infrastructure as it is cash rich and not

levered. Also since it has economies of scale the cost is apportioned across large no of units resulting

into cost effective way.

 Due to this, the Company emerges as the strongest and the most credible player in the region. Eg, In

Nagpur, Company has received an over whelming response is compared to the best players in the

region such as Tata Realty, Mahindra & Godrej Properties.

The company has land bank of 17.8 million square ft spread over 6 cities in India, viz :

Total Saleable Area         Million Sq Ft

Aurangabad                          1.56 – Land Area 19.79 acres ( 1.50 FSI) PIP Stake 61.5%

Nagpur                                 4.25 – Land Area 41.30 acres (2.00 FSI) PIP Stake 61.5%

Indore                                   4.54 – Land Area 43.49 acres (2.00 FSI) PIP Stake 60.0%

Coimbatore                           3.44 – Land Area 25.66 acres (2.50 FSI) PIP Stake 61.5%

Jaipur                                    2.78 – Land Area 28.31 acres (1.75 FSI) PIP Stake 50%

Mysore                                 1.22 – Land Area 8 acres  (1.75 FSI) PIP Stake 25%

Total                                     17.79

PIP a turnaround story. 

PIP has 17.79 million Sq Ft of land bank (entire land bank is paid up) with only 1.2 million developed till dateand more than 16.5 mn sq ft yet to be monetized.

Out of total 17.79 mn sq ft, 2 mn would be used for Retail, 7.6 mn sq ft for residential and 0.4 mn sq ft for commercial with the balance 8 mn sq ft for future expansion.

Company is almost debt free and will be able to monetize its huge saleable land bank over the next few years to come, which gives vision for long term investments.

 The company has strong balance sheet with net debt at less than 15 cr on a consolidated basis. The total debt for the company is around 152.2 cr, of which PIPs share is 93.6 cr (61.5% share). The company has cash and cash equivalent to the tune of 80 Cr at the parent level making the company relatively debt free.

The company intends to utilize the cash flow from the residential projects to facilitate the construction of the retail malls.

The company will have strong free cash flows this year as the company has delivered the commercial PTC Phase 1 and Saral Bazaar in FY14. Also, strong annuity income by FY16-17, as the company will have 3 operational malls in Aurangabad, Coimbatore and Nagpur with an estimated total annuity income of more than Rs 100 Cr.

The company is estimated to have more than Rs 1000 Cr of cash & Cash Receivables by FY16 due to the launch of 4 residential projects (Nagpur, Indore, Coimbatore and Jaipur) and commencement of 3 retail Malls. (Aurangabad, Nagpur & Coimbatore)

If we take conservative value of entire land bank, which is fully paid up and nowadays such land parcels are difficult to acquire as these are huge single land parcel, which comes close to 2000 cr, out of which stake of PIP is 61.5% that comes to around Rs 1250 Cr, which is 5 times its current market cap, plus annuity income from retail space which will increase every year, the stock is trading at Market cap of JUST 250 CR and is a screaming buy for the conservative target of RS 84 in next 24 months, adding scarcity premium as its one of the listed company which is partly held by foreign partner, which is into high growth consumption theme of tier 2 and tier 3 cities with retail malls business alongwith Commercial complexes, which has high demand from IT/BPO space as cheap availability of manpower, plus company is into Affordability Housing residential project, where company first creates the infrastructure and ameneties before opening of bookings.

Some Back of the envelop calculation :

Company plans to develop 17 million sq ft in next 6 years, imagine if the company earns most conservative profit of just Rs 1500 per sq ft as it is fully paid land bank, (only construction cost of 1200 per sq ft and other cost + taxes another 800 rs expense per sq ft, where as selling price is between 3500 to 4000 per sq ft super built up this is conservative estimate as total current value of land bank is Rs 2000 cr, so company must earn atleast 3000 crore after developing it, else company is better off selling entire land bank at current price of Rs 2000 cr), than total Profit in the next 6 years could be Rs 1500 x 1.7 Cr sq ft = 2550 Crore of profit, which is 10 times of current market cap. Just imagine the potential this company has to earn.

We are yet to calculate lease income which will accrue year after year on 4.5 million sq ft of retail space, If Rs 50 / sq ft lease rental is received per month, than 50 x 12 x 45 lakh sq ft = 270 cr per year, yes its mind boggling lease rental income of Rs 270 cr per year, which alone will give EPS of Rs 18 per year, add that with Profit earned over Rs 2500 cr in next six year, that will give EPS of close to 30 per year.

That means company has potential to earn EPS of Rs 50 per year, and is available at Rs 20 only? Just because it is small cap, under researched and hidden gem.

Company has long term asset which they can list as REIT. FDI allowed in construction to benefit, as company has foreign partner INTU (UK) will buy stake from indian partner and company will become mnc co.

Stewarts & Lloyds of India Ltd (Recomended at 30)

Stock made high of 54 after recomendation

STEWARTS & LLOYDS OF INDIA LTD – BSE : 504960 (RS 30.00 FACE VALUE RS 10)

This company is Promoted by IOT Infrastructure & Energy Services Ltd (100% Subsidiary of Indian Oil Corporation Ltd) which holds 55.46% stake in it. The company has small equity base of Rs 3 crore, with very low floating stock. The company which is promoted by PSU Subsidiary Company, Listed on BSE, belongs to turnaround sector, i.e. EPC & Project Maintenance is trading at a Ridiculously cheap, with market cap of only 9 crore.

Main business of the company is to execute EPC, Maintenance, Engineering Services and Project Management orders received from Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and all its Subsidiaries through its promoter company IOT Infra & Energy Services Ltd (IOCIESL).

Everything was going good with this company till boom period of 2007-8 and before that. After that downhill ride for the company started.

Main reason was Shortage of Orders, Non availability of Bank Finance,  Non realization of old outstanding dues, Encashment of Bank Guarantees, the company has to suffer a lot, as IOCL, from which it used to receive orders was bleeding under subsidy burden, which made difficult for the company to allot cash and undertake for new project and pass on the contract to Stewarts & Lloyds through IOTIESL.

The performance of the company has now hit the bottom and could not go down further.

In the past few months the UPA and new NDA government has allowed to raise Diesel price by 50 Paise gradually, the step which seems to be turning around the corners for the oil companies including IOCL, now that the subsidy on Diesel is just under 1 rupee per litre, as compared to Rs 15 couple of years back.

Now that OIL COMPANIES will again start making profits, which will fill their chest with cash and help them to execute new projects, which will benefit companies like Stewarts & Lloyds.

Even Stewarts & Lloyds have proposed some steps to turn the company around , some of the Strategies adopted by the company is as below :-

Regaining Customer’s Confidence

Initiatives to tie-up with various Public / Private sectors

Strengthening the working capacity with active business development drive

Synergies with group companies to create value

Upgradation of safety and quality standard in order to meet up international standard

Restructuring its marketing group to focus on company’s business for project related and maintenance job

Top build self-sustaining base for manufacturing and fabrication unit

Measures taken for cost reduction and cost control in all the activities

In a recently concluded AGM the Chairman mentioned that

“The company is putting its best efforts to come out of this impasse with the support of its parent company and associate companies.

The parent company has come forward with active involvement to resolve the stalement condition in the banks.

The company is also having talks with its associate companies for bagging some part of the Service / Erection orders from them where involvement of Letter of Credit and Bank Guarantee is NIL.

The company is also concentrating on procurement of maintenance orders from DSP, TATA STEEL and PARADIP where requirement of supplyis very nominal.

The company is aiming for optimum utilization of its available resources and hopes that with the visionary outlook and effective planning of the NEW GOVERNMENT there will be BOOST up in the Infrastructure and Engineering sectors and the company will be able to take the opportunity to grab some of the business from the market and gradually come out from such difficult situation.”

Conclusion : Looking at all the above reasons, Investors can take small exposure in the company as high risk high gain bet with medium term view of 12 months with target price of Rs 50. Which seems achievable if company turns around and start making profits again.
