- Competitors, if any
- Is the Management ok with debt funding?
- Personality of Mr. Avik Duke

Duke Offshore – Hidden Gem? (23-09-2015)
Where is the moat in the business of buying and leasing out patrol boats. Seems a relatively simple business with little entry barriers.
Also maintenance of boats is not a specialized job. Maintenance of platforms – this also would be tender based i guess.
In all likelihood the govt / navy projects will be awarded on tender basis.
However, the stock seems to be quoting at good valuations.

Kitex Garments another Page industries? (23-09-2015)
Why is there a new thread on Kitex? Why have admin guys locked previous thread for more than 30 days?
Just like a market have a people with various views and booms and busts and long and short positions based on greed and fears of investors/traders a healthy forum should have people with diverse views.
Although I agree to the prospect of cleaning up the thread to get the real sense of things rather than just prove point to others but that doesnt mean we can just permanently lock out.(why more than 30 days?)
Also the perversity of allowing to create a new thread on same company when stock started raising doesn’t seem logical either.(I believe admin doesnt have control on new threads being created everyday). In any case i would believe the admin unlocks the kitex thread asap rather than just allowig us to thump our chests when stock starts raising and start discussing things all over again stating how good the company is and how big the mkt is and how well professors researched etc…
Duke Offshore – Hidden Gem? (23-09-2015)
I attended the AGM on Monday. As there were only 3-4 shareholders present, it was more like a one to one with the CMD, Mr. Avik Duke. The Co. should see steady growth year on year as the base is relatively small. The growth going forward will come from the acquisition of the second OPV (Offshore Petrol Vessel) which the Co. plans to lease to Cairn India. This should happen around December / Jan. The first one is under contract with British Gas.
In addition the Co. owns about 10-12 FIC’s (Fast Intercept Crafts) which have been leased to the Navy to patrol around the harbour area. The other revenue source is the maintenance of these & other FIC’s & OPV’s.
The business will always be needing funds to grow. My reading is that the mgt is looking to raise money in due course to grow, but will look to dilute only at premium valuations. All efforts seem to be in that direction. It’s 3 year vision is to have a base overseas where business opportunities are much more.
On the whole, the mgt. seemed genuine & capable of scaling up the business. The investment in the Co. to my mind has the potential to reward handsomely over the next couple of years.

The management is quite positive about achieving targets after dismal Q1. Is this another page industries in the making?
Your views are welcome..!!

Yes the rest was variable, depending upon the company performance that’s why I mentioned 10% of the FY15 PAT.
In the mean time have been trying to have a conversation with the management to know more about their vision.

Thank you so much sri krishna for your detailed analysis.
I would like to point out that salary drawn by Avik Duke is around 3570000 for FY 14-15 according to screenshot above which comes around 2,97,500.
It mentioned that major part of salary is due to profits .Does this mean around 5,00,000 rupees is his bonus for this year?
Results look decent and government is focussing more on naval surveilance after 26/11

How to calculate Intrinsic using DCF with EPS method (23-09-2015)
Hi Sunny,
Me too a newbie in the field of investing, I have learned only DCF using FCF & I think that makes clear sense to me. Since the abbreviation of DCF is Discounted Cash Flows and accural earnings can be fudged, we should use FCF only. For detailed explanation refer https://janav.wordpress.com/2014/10/12/accounting-for-value-1/
