  GOLDMINE FROM HEMANT K. GUPTA

 

ECOPLAST LTD  Rs 41/  (Bse)
 
In last 6-9 months, fortunes of Indian packaging industry have been shining bright due to excellent demand from FMCG and other sectors which had led to huge rise in share price of all scrips in this industry. In view of same, EcoPlast Ltd (albeit a small company) is undervalued and appears an attractive investment opportunity considering that CMP is cum-dividend Rs 1.80 which gives dividend yield of 4.50% taxfree and promoters appear to be investor friendly:

Ecoplast ltd is trading at:
  • 1.00xBook Value as on 31st March 2010
  • 3.41xFY11E eps
  • 3.00xFY12E Eps
Even though Ecoplast is a small player in packaging industry, its current valuations are extremely considering its bookvalue and good dividend pay-out. Scrip is lying low due to shifting to T group and 5% circuit filter.
 
Investors can buy this scrip immediately as its share price can appreciate 30-40% in next 3-4 months and even by 60-70% in less than 1 year.

For quarter ended June 2010, company has reported good results with income rising by approx 20% but PAT has almost doubled. Due to higher demand from user industry, GWIL is able achieve higher utilization of it Jammu factory.  Moreover, GWIL has become very bullish on its industrial paint/coating division (of Bombay Paints) and targetting to triple turnover of this division in next 2 years.
 
From its manufacturing operations and GROWEL's 101, GWIL is in a position to achieve EPS of Rs 10 in 2010-11 and Rs 13-14 in 2011-12. However, GWIL has decent surplus land bank and Commerical property and hence, the recommendation.
 
Its manufacturing plants are as under:
  • Dadra  Approx 8859 sq mtr
  • Vapi  Approx 9801 sq mtr
  • Barotiwala HP  Approx 14784 sq yards
  • Jammu   60 Kanals
  • Chembur Mumbai  2 Acres(Bombay Paints)
In Mumbai's Kandivali suburbs, GWIL has 10 acres land on which earlier Growel was built. Now, GWIL has already constructed another 3,00,000 s f area for Retail and Commercial use. Thus, total constructed retail/commercial space now stands at 5 lac sq. ft. In this area, prevailing rate of residential premises is around Rs 10,000/ per sq. ft.  And if this commercial space price is taken at Rs 15,000 per sq ft (although ground floor fetches even Rs 30,000 per sq ft), market value of already constructed property is around Rs 750 crores as against existing market cap of Rs 185 crores
 
Around 75% of newly constructed 3 lac sq ft property has already been leased out @ Rs 65-75 per sq ft. These lessee have already recently taken possession and lease rent to GWIL will start showing from Q2 onwards.  THIS PROPERTY, WHEN FULLY LEASED, SHOULD FETCH MORE THAN Rs 20-22 cr per annum as lease rent which will be fully reflected next year onwards.
 
In Kandivali, still surplus land is there.  GWIL may start construction on same only from 2012 onwards.  Company should be able to build another 5 lac sq ft (most probably an IT Park where double FSI is allowed). This property should be ready in 2014 . When ready, market value of entire 1 mn sq ft built up space should be more than Rs 1500 crores
 
Additional lease rent from recently constructed 3 lac sq ft should add at least Rs 3 to co's EPS in current year and Rs 6 next year onwards.
 
At its Chembur factory also, there is surplus land of approx 1.50 acres which should be worth more than Rs 75 cr
 
GWIL has also settled its dispute of erstwhile bottling plant in Pune and now company has more than 10 acre surplus land in Pune.
 
At CMP , GWIL is available at extremely low valuations considering that company is market leader in Chemical biz and its Industrial Paint biz is also growing now. Both biz are profit-making and its Real-estate segment have HUGE value. As company dont intend to sell surplus land or constructed space, GWIL is assured to get decent lease rent in future years to come, adding immensely to its bottomline. Current market cap is just 185 crores although market value of constructed space on Kandivali land alone  (subsequent to Phase-3 scheduled to start in 2012) can be more than 1500 crores) As and when company decides to utilize its surplus land in Chembur and Pune, that will topping on the icecream.
 
Investors may buy this scrip immediately. Scrip is lying low because so far, there is no official announcement from company about readiness of Phase-2 and its leasing out.     In stable market conditions, share price of GWIL can be Rs 175/ in less than 15 months. If investors continue to hold this scrip for 3 years, appreciation can be multibagger.  An extremely safe investment with great intrinsic value.

BOOK VALUE                                                                               Rs 118/
 
Current market cap of Hind Industries Ltd is Rs 39 crores only.  Main/sole reason for such low market cap is the fact that almost entire investing community is aware only of standalone results fo the company having 2009-10 EPS of Rs 2.87. 
 
Hind Agro Industries Lts is subsidiary of Hind Industries ltd.  From above results, it is clear that turnover of its subsidiary in 09-10 was 686 crores with PAT of 5.20 crores. Thus its subsidiary is 560% bigger than the parent company.  HIND INDUSTRIES IS HOLDING 90% EQUITY OF HIND AGRO INDUSTRIES LTD. Current equity of Hind Agro is 33 cr which means Hind Industries hold arlound 2.97 cr shares at cost of approx Rs 29.70 crores. Thus current market cap of Hind Industries is 30% more than its investment-at-cost in its subsidiary.
 
Consolidated Valuations:
 
1. Book Value Rs 118/ , thus scrip is available at just 38% of its book value
2. Scrip is trading at just 5xFY10 Eps
3. Scrip is available at just 2.30xFY10 CASH Eps
 
Based upon above financials, scrip is definitely underpriced and has potential to double from current levels.  However, consider the following:
 
A. Its subsidiary Hind Agro has bagged DBOT  (design, build, operate, transfer) contract for construction of a Modern Slaughter House from Chennai Municipal corporation
B. Hind Agro is likely to bag another contract from Lucknow Municipal corporation for construction of Modern Slaughter House
C. Hind Industries has already set up a factory for manufacture of HIGH SECURITY REGISTRATION NUMBER PLATES in Baddi. Few years back, Govt had announced that all vehicles in India should have HSRNP so prevent tampering with number plates and/or theft of same. However, this factory has not yet started production as so far, no state Govt has invited any tenders for such high security plates. There is still uncertainty as to when Govts will launch/make mandatory such number plates.
D. Presently plant of Hind Industries is operating at just 30-35% of its installed capacity.
E. Plant of Hind Agro Industries is running at just 55-60% of its installed capacity
 
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION:  As per our extremely reliable information, since last 2 years, promoters have been trying to buy back balance 10% stake of Hind Agro Industries from outsiders (approx 7% with IFCI and balance with friends/relatives) at completely unrealistically low price. As per same sources, actual/real profits may be suppressed and must be much higher  . If promoters succeed in buying out balance 10% of Hind Agro, performance of parent as well as subsidiary company should witness HUGE improvement. Capacity utilization should  also take a sharp jump . However, if outside investors are unlikely to sell their stake at allegedly very low price being offered by promoters. Hence, ultimately promoters may be prompted to offer much higher and realistic price.
 
So far, Hind Industries has not rewarded its shareholders even reasonably well although it has potential to give huge rewards to its stakeholders. Fundamentally looking at its consolidated earnings, consolidated Book Value, Huge installed capacities, Hind Industries is available dirt cheap. However, nothing extra-ordinary may happen in near future. Vested interests may like the share price to remain low. We feel that fair value of Hind Industries is above Rs 100/.
 
Investors having patience with long-term view may buy big big quanity of Hind Industries for MULTIBAGGER gains. Dont be surprised if scrip is quoting above Rs 150/ in less than 2 years

As on date, FCCB worth USD 5 million are outstanding for conversion into equity shares ( Rs 85 per share). We are not sure now at what price same will be converted and we have presume conversion of same may lead to equity dilution  by 3 million shares (considered in equity as on 31st March 2011) and equity goes up further upon warrant conversion of promoters as on 31st March 2012 and hence EPS have been calculated on enhanced equity structure.
