Automated stock analyzer with Graham formula and Graham number (24-09-2015)
Many thanks. That is indeed a serious mistake. I have now corrected it and reuploaded the file. Thank you very much.

Very good attempt. A Quick observation for calculation of CAGR for 3 year/5 years/ 10 years. The model Freefincal-stock analyser CAGR is taking only two years data for 3 year CAGR, 4 years data for 5 year CAGR and 9 year data for 10 year CAGR.
For instance in in valuation 2 sheet Cell B21, 5 year CAGR is calculated as =IF(ISERROR((B17/B13)^(1/5)-1),"",(B17/B13)^(1/5)-1)
In my view you should change either base year to B12 or number of years to 4, so that we get correct CAGR.
No way this dilute usefulness of model but just thought to contribute something from my side in your great efforts. This error is repeated across all the work sheet.
Thanks
iStreet Networks – Flipkart kind of business (24-09-2015)
Question: Regarding transfer of iStreet Bazaar project to subsidiary?
Ans: The Board of Directors of the company is seeking an approval from the shareholders of the company to transfer iSB project to its subsidiary at an opportune time.
We have been meeting with various venture capital funds and private funds, people from large companies to be as our team member, technology companies etc. who like iSB project but express their inability to participate in a listed company due to their internal restriction and regulatory requirement like acquisition, convertibility time lines of any instrument etc.
Should there arise an opportunity of where someone getting participated in the project iSB in the form of capital, team, technology etc., the Board is ready to take a decision and there shall be no delay and the opportunity is seized immediately.
The valuation for investment by Venture Funds and Private Equity Funds are on different parameters like – the concept, existing and potential customer base, technology engine etc. which are normally not captured in the market traded valuation. As, the transfer is proposed to happen to a wholly owned subsidiary, the advancement of the Project and the benefit reaping from it will continue to reflect for the holding company shareholders as well.

CLSE – the next KRBL? (24-09-2015)
The current season paddy prices are even lower than last year with basmati paddy quoting at around 1600/quintal. This is generally bad news for the sector as they carry inventory and most companies do not have much pricing power.
CLSE doesn't carry much inventory, has just forayed into branding and has very low debt at this point. So this situation does create a good opportunity for them to stock up on low cost inventory for their branded products.
They are doing well this year and will probably make an eps of Rs40+ for 2015-16 and closer to Rs.50 for the next year. All in all, exciting times to be a shareholder on this counter.
Stovec Industries Ltd – Manufacturer of Textile Printing (24-09-2015)
I do not have much information about question you asked. The better prospect was more driven by revival of profit growth in spinning sector and support from Textile upgradation funds which resulting in higher capex across the chain in textile.
One broad information about Indian textile machinery manufacturer I could get from web which I am enclosing
http://www.tmmaindia.net/PrintMediaPDF/IndianTEIProfileupdated.pdf
What is important to notice is no growth in PROCESSING MACHINES (page 2 table) at around Rs 575 Cr. Also check the high dependency of import (nearly 60%) as shown in page 3 of the table.
Latest Information about TUF are as under
http://www.txcindia.gov.in/html/mdo2007_4.pdf
Now if we compare share of processing machine from Textile Machinery manufacturer data, we get processing machinery share in total textile machinery sector we get following figures:
As per my understanding, Indian textile need to do substantial capex in processing sector which is still lags in moderinsation. If we look at various segment in textile, India would be best placed in cotton spinning, followed by garments, then weaving and last in fabric processing. This is very primative/subjective assessment and may on verification turn out to wrong.
In view of above, I see moderate demand for printing machine (particularly driven by higher exports cotton home textiles (bad sheet/towels being major) which also would require state of art fabric processing. I assume Stovec among the global leader in Rotary Printing Machinery and consumable (Screen/Roller for printing machine). That can also be compared with growth in Welspun/Trident/Indo Count which are among the top 3 players in home textile sector.

Hope this partially answer growth prospect and industry growth expectation. On competition and company position in global and Indian market we need to get more information and work.
Kesar Terminals and Infrastructure Ltd (24-09-2015)
Takeaways from the AGM:
AGM was well attended with many members asking detailed questions on the Kesar Multi-modal logistics project which is coming up at Pawarkheda in Madhya Pradesh.
Management was very forthcoming and H R Kilachand patiently answered queries from shareholders during and after the AGM. Members of the Board were also available to interact with shareholders after the event.
Kilachand indicated that the Pawarkheda facility will begin in the next 15-20 days as the railways are carrying out the work of installing signaling systems and equipment to move rakes into and out of the facility. He blamed the internal politics within the railways for the long delay in the project starting.
When fully operational, the facility will have the capacity to handle three rakes simultaneously. To begin with KMML will handle one rake a day and gradually scale up as demand grows. At present it has the capacity to handle two rakes simultaneously, but the management wants to construct capacity for the third rake right away as bureaucratic delays may hamper expansion at a later stage.
When the facility is fully operational, cargo like cement, fertilizers, textiles etc would be handled.
A big advantage would accrue to KMML if the railways go ahead with the proposal to halt goods handling operations at Itarsi. Because of
congestion, the railways seem to be keen that Itarsi station handles
only passenger traffic. Kilachand hoped that the goods traffic handled
by the railways would move to KMML.
Kilachand reminded investors that the warehousing business is competitive and there are many players. But KMML enjoys the advantages of having a goods rail line passing through its facility.
At present the cold storage facility has begun operations with fruits and vegetables being brought in for storage. Kilachand foresees big opportunity in handling agricultural produce since MP has become the country's biggest producer of wheat and one of the bigger producers of rice. He expects much of the cargo to move via KMML. Agriculture warehouse measures 16,000 sq mts.
As an aside, Kilachand said the company may look at food processing
business because of the location and availability of the facility. He
added that finance for food processing was available at 4 per cent
interest.
The management is expecting revenues of around Rs 16-17 cr in the first quarter of operations. Expected EBITDA margins at 60
per cent just like in the tankage business.
Company is paying a royalty of Rs 12.7 cr over the next 13 years or Rs 1.2 cr annually to the Madhya Pradesh Mandi Board.
So far company has incurred at debt of Rs 88 crores for the project. Some of the debt is also being paid back.
Kilachand says, KMML will benefit from the Goods and Services Tax.
As for the huge debt on its books, Kilachand says KMML may look at
offloading stake to investors at a later stage when it can get higher
valuations.
Regarding tankage business, company will begin work
on either the Kakinada or Pipavav project once first phase of KMML
begins operations. Company will have to reapply for permissions at
Pipavav, but it has all permissions in place for Kakinada. Company is
paying a rent of Rs 2 lakh per month for the land at Kakinada.
Red Flags
Management is expecting pricing pressure on its core tankage business at Kandla because of several facilities which are coming up at Pipavav and other places. But Kilachand says its tanks are priced competitively already and it would be able to maintain margins.
Tanks have a life of 30 years but they need to be maintained. Depending on what is stored in the tanks, they can even get damaged earlier.
Management is converting mild steel tanks into stainless steel tanks depending on demand.
others who attended are free to add anything i missed.

Motherson sumi : Recent opportunity to buy (24-09-2015)
They have a stated goal of "“3Cx15” (no Component, Customer or Country to represent more than 15% of turnover)" and from the recent management interview their VW exposure is not to be worried about. Their exposure to Maruti Suzuki is also not very significant. If you read some of the interviews/research reports/annual reports then you will find out that at one point 3/4th of revenue used to come from a single customer and from a single country. They have made great progress from there and the auto industry has almost always had something going on to worry about and Motherson has performed in spite of all these odds.
Also I think one should not make too much about VC Shegal's tone and attitude. The man has built an empire, made money for shareholders, hired professional management and has great track record.
To me Motherson Sumi and VW fiasco looks like a case of getting over influenced by extra vivid evidence.
