    I have discussed J P Associates few times.I also discussed J P Associates in my thread -Non performing stocks.J P Associates is badly meshed up in huge debt.Actually J P Associates believed heavily on Shining India slogan and BRIC story .Result it fall flat like those who started India Shining slogan and Bric story. It planned and executed huge infra spendings,which are master piece for India .It includes Yamuna express way,huge capacity in hydro power to reduce Indian import of petrol,huge Cement capacities to build India at competitive cost,huge land devolpment on Yamuna express way,Budha racing circuit.But what is good for India proved to be bad for JP Associates and its share holders.It also brought some banks on weak wicket and one of them ICICI bank has been sold badly in its name.But those who think that all is lost in JP Associates and its supporting bank and sold it badly may not end happily as they wish.I had maintained that J P Associates has hard assets and has not blown debt in thin air like King Fisher .It has attractive hard assets which has huge replacement cost and may be sold .If economy recover in next one year,even sale price of assets including land bank can create huge value.So a invester like me who has not exited timely ,will stay invested for anticipated pull off by JP Associates along with its backing pvt sector bank.Can JP group do it,looks difficult presently, but I am cautiously optimistic .What is view of Dear members ?

    JP main problem is Heavy Debt .....
    nearly Rs. 31000 Cr.
    total market cap is Rs. 28362 Cr. ....that is lower than entire debt of this company ....
    per Annam they are paying interest Rs. 3584 Cr.
    Profit before interest and depreciation march 2015 year is Rs. 2300 Cr.
    so they are not even reach interest level also ...
    if they improve profit further Rs .1284 Cr.... to reach complete interest level .....
    and main point is cash on hand is Rs. 3773 Cr. only
    Contingent Liabilities are also 3947 Cr.

    so their main projects are " Hydro power " , " cement " , " Toll gate " and some real estate
    they are willing to sell their projects ..but no body is interested and price they are quoting very low ...they know
    it is a sick company they will surely quote very low price ......in future no bank will not give any loan it is clear ...
    and main point is book value is only 75 ....

    Promoters complete stake is nearly 39.38 %
    Value in Rs. 11340 Cr.
    at present value ....
    if company is willing to give debt convertibility to equity like " IVRCL " Company
    problem is banks may not accept this proposal ..in IVRCL issue problem solved because private lenders are agree that proposal ....

    in my view this company turn around is a big question for me .....

    Yes Debt is issue.But it has hard assets which are some what depreciated also. Book value is 75 as mentioned by you .So we need to consider some depreciation also which will increase the sale value as assets are sold at market value which is very less discount to replacement value.So Dispose value is higher than book value after debt .Till now JP has been selling asstets at reasonable value inspite of deley in process ,as there are few large players like Ultratech,Shree Cement,Dalmia and Heidelberg ,JSW are believed to be in race.Till now I don't have reports that books are unrealistic.

    Risky bet in my opinion. The main problem I see is that it is selling its core assets. Yamuna Expressway is up for sale, Cement plants etc. I mean what kind of business will the company be left with after these sales? Will that business justify the valuations? Will they even get the right price for their real estate given that the real estate market is down? I feel you can still look into Amtek group of companies if you are looking for a decent risk/reward ratios. Over there, the company is at least selling subsidiaries which are profit making and therefore have buyers. My 2 cents.

    yes , in my view heavy debt may be eat all profits and assets of this company .... because common seance point is
    surroundings of JP real estate lands price is also fall down due to huge selling chance of JP Lands .... Hydal Power projects and cement plants are not demand because they are not giving high profit margins ....so after
    all assets sales investors may not get any benefit .... may be debt will eat all assets in future .....o_Oo_O:(:(

    Last few years JP Associates company management is not focusing on business growth .... they are completely
    involved in heavy debt clearing activity ..... business is neglected ... and more over company diversification is weak due to all assets diversified into low profit margin business like .... power , cement , hotels , and more over in "Noida" there is lot of residential and commercial space in realty is not selling at ..... at that region JP reality is located .... is another bumper offer ......

    @RAMA MURTHY SASTRY CHALLA -and other members -J P Associates is selling it's Cement plants to Ultratech.What is view of members,can company recover.Any hope of recovery .With Modi govt focus on infra and JP Associates willingness to sell hard assets to reduce its debt ,can turn around this company.What are present views of knowldgeable members.What is the best option left now for long term share holders( including me ) who are sitting in huge loss.Should they hold on in hope of recovery or just book the loss considering it one more instalment of learning fee,which we keep on depositing for every folly,in this case making mistake of believing Great Indian Infra Story.

    If they sell assets in a discount price there is a big problem for company , if they not sell assets in next 2 years
    they may be declared as defaulters by banks

    so in my view they will face very difficult situation in future

    All deley /under recovery will give additional hit to JP expected residual 11000 Crore as per calculations.So first risk is more to JP comparatively and expected haircut to bank is low.

    i will not wait for this situation for my investment .... i will exit at long back if i have this type of stock ...

    but my suggestion is exit half quantity of this stock in this rally or positive news about company
    and with that same amount purchase good company in infra with good fundamentals stock in a dip

    @kharb as @RAMA MURTHY SASTRY CHALLA sir's analysis it is very difficult for JP to create value in future. since real estate is in mess the assets of co. may not get higher value if sold. 15000 mw power projects may be valued at 5 cr per mw so it comes 75000 crores.plus real estate 1000 acres = 12000 crores. total comes to 87000 crores. - debt 71000 = 16000. also power prices are down 30%. so in long term it is quite difficult it seems that JP will pay off its debt and create value for shareholders.
    so i thnk it will be better to sell JP in next oppurtunity you get. if the debt is manageable it is worth holding. but when debt is extreme there is very few chances of coming back strongly.

    if we add yamuna express way it will b another 7000 crore. and hospital at 750 crores.net value = 24000. add cement at 16500 it come 40500.
    JP will get this value only if company is able to sell all assets.

    but thermal plants are not demand due to coal prices and other environment problems , people will
    no JP condition so large players are bargain to buy ...

    in my view at this world economy situation 1MW may sold Rs. 2.5 -3 cr . maximum that to hydro projects only
    thermal may be very low depend up on long term coal imports agreements with coal suppliers and with out any environmental problems

    realty is not that much price in JP group 1100 acres

    last 4 years JP Group successful only to sell cement plants
    that is the main problem .... if power plants not sale in next 2 years company may get huge problem

    i have one idea to solve this huge problem :
    but only thing is government will co operate with them

    1. Buy all Hydro projects with " NHPC " they are expanding new projects , if they buy these hydro projects some problems will clear
    2. Buy all Thermal projects with " NTPC " with reasonable valuations is another solution

    and that money government repay some debt to banks directly
