Introduction & Portfolio (22-12-2015)
I am invested in Balkrishna Ind for last 4-5 years. Still holding. This is good stock and hold on to it.
But I am not sure about your picks like Lanco, Intellect design, EROS, Unitech etc. The seasoned investors have raised concerns on their accounting and business practices. Lanco is clear red flag in your portfolio at the moment. The management is suspect. Be very careful.
You said you just started investing using value investing tenets. That is good. It should help you in the long run. But I suggest you also add promoter quality check in your due diligence. In the long run you will thank yourself for that. In fact I run that check immediately after the quick analysis of the numbers and valuation before I do more detailed analysis and due diligence.
UFlex Ltd – Short term opportunity? (22-12-2015)
Do not invest in this company. The promoter is convicted criminal. I invested years ago and within 3 months news came that he is going to jail. I lost 35% money in days. I sold at loss and came out. The CMD is Chor. Do not partner with him.

My only word is caution I see several red flags in the story which makes it a strict no-no for me. Incase your conviction in the story and trust in promoters is high I am happy to be proven wrong.
Discl. No holding

Hi Anant: Please look at the "objects of the issue", it says 'to gain benefits of listing' Company didnt raise money, it was all secondary sale. SEBI mandates them to sell 25% minimum. This objective is meant for people who want to sell their stake paying STT thus saving capital gains. Surely we are looking at an eventual sale out in the company. Of course, promoter has a lock in and all that, but its clear why the listing happened. Given the margin profile, sale may happen at seriously high valuation.
My view on IPO valuation is that since the offer for sale is promoters own (last issue @ 192, see RHP) and its done at depressed valuation, likely to save capital gains for the seller.
On the burgeoning receivables what you say is only half the stories. The methods you indicating are accompanied by growth in sales which leads to believe the company is aggressively growing. This is a company which supplies to capital good and auto industry, and we all know how the topline growth scenario has been off late.

Co has paid Tax of 6 Crs. So the profits are genuine. Pray do tell me in how many Cos are independent directors really independent, not more than 200 out of 6000 listed.

Its just a little below .6mtpa. That makes it fairly valued, IMHO.

Taxation
Tax expense for the current year FY 2015 stands at 54 Mn from 10 Mn last year, resulting in an increase in the effective rate of
taxation from 2% to over 6%. This is due to increase in the deferred
tax expense for the year offset by drop in current tax component as
well downward revisions to tax pertaining to prior years. Deferred
tax expense is a function of the difference in carrying amount of
assets considered for tax reporting purposes and for GAAP reporting
according to laid out Accounting Standards.
This is from Take solutions 2014-15AR. Can somebody explain in simple terms what the highlighted line means?
Economic Value added (22-12-2015)
Anupam,
I believe our current calculation of returns in India in automated software is not correct for the following reason. Hence the hurdle rate has to be corrected for this anomaly.
Take two companies having 100 crores profit - One with 20% dividend payout ratio (avg pvt sector) and another with 80% (good PSUs) have effective return of 96 and 84 crores after reducing their DDT of 4 and 16 respectively. ROCE calculations in US assumes dividend tax in the hands of the owner whereas in India it is different. Whether it is good or bad depends on your personal tax rate.
Then comes CSR of 2% on 3 year avg PBT. I am still not clear about its accounting. Can anyone help? Is it shown as an expense? Else it needs to be taken out of ROCE again.
Taxation Queries (22-12-2015)
Thanks for the response.
Lets take cases like Bharti Infratel and IDFC Bank (both listed companies) by the parent Bharti Airtel and IDFC respectively. When Airtel sold 2000 crores last year in the market, what tax would they have paid?
Is it seen as a capital gain with indexation (indexed 20%) or with STT benefits (LTCG - 0%). Can they claim 10% without indexation?
Or is it seen as business income taxed at 30%+ surcharge + cess etc?
Interestingly, I saw a Colgate Palmolive case where the loss of a 100% unlisted subsidiary was argued as a business loss with IT Tribunal. So, what is seen as business income, other income with indexation ?
