Not as stellar as last qtr but still decent

Manoj,
You are right about that - we did not focus on digital publishing. Because that is not a segment that matters. Refer to the Segment info on BQ Sheet1.
Where is the FOCUS then - only one thing - if the business has done well in the past, why will it be sustainable in the future; Just why can't somebody dislodge it from its perch in its own niche - that's the one answer we want to find out - either way. Focus on where 80% of the business comes from.
Digital Publishing is an important segment no doubt in the overall publishing industry, and set to grow faster bigger in the years to come - the way content consumption needs are changing - multiple devices, multiple formats.
However competency - one would reckon is open to anyone and everyone, lots of players, not a protected market for them unlike the Academic/Educational Books & Journals segment; though they will continue to offer these services - more to complete service portfolio where existing customers - Academic/Educational customer need digital publishing/content transformation solutions, or newer customers like Apple say; volumes will be small, margin profile should be poorer. They might have some Marquee customers in this segment too, one can reckon. But the real moolah lies elsewhere
Singer India Ltd – a possible turnaround a.k.a. Symphony (05-11-2015)
Is anyone attending AGM today ?

MPS BQ and MQ are awesome. Loads of info. I am new to MPS and please excuse my stupid questions.
In Management Q&A, I didn't find much questions on Digital Publishing segment. eBooks, School books on tablets are fast becoming the norms of western world. Is MPS having any expertise in this segment ? Any plans to ramp up this segment in the future ?

Thanks, Donald for working on this with me. You have been very patient with me
Working on the BQ sheet was an enriching task. It helped me understand MPS much better.
The BQ sheet has some really tough questions and working on it makes one clear how much one knows about the business/company.
Agree with @ayushmit that it's a great excercise to keep a BQ & MQ sheet for business where one has worked in detail. It just makes a lot of things clear in your head and cuts the clutter.

REPCO home finance – another Gruh in the making? (05-11-2015)
For FY15 the numbers were
Gross NPA % - 1.3 and Net NPA % - 0.5
Substantial increase from here and this year may not end well. Though the topline growth looks ok for now.
Lincoln Pharma … the next mid-cap pharma in the making …? (05-11-2015)
Agree. Margin contraction was lil disappointing. Looking At the balance sheet, fixed asset number has gone up significantly reflecting in the turnover.
I think they should be able to maintain the top line momentum. Real challenge would be lifting margins to previous levels.
Disc: holding from lower levels
