Analysis of Financials:

Following are the standalone financials of the company as per the Red Herring Prospectus filed by the company:

The Net Worth of the company was Rs.47.75 Crores as on March 2011 which grew close to Rs.57 Crores till September 2011. On the revenue front, for financial year ended 31st March 2011, company reported Rs. 105 crore as total operating income, with PAT of Rs. 8 crore, on a consolidated basis. If we consider FY11, the EPS turns out to be around Rs.2.4. Assuming the shares would be issued at the upper end of the price band, i.e. at Rs.80/- per share, the resulting PE would still be on the higher side


Significant Risk Factors:
1. The company is heavily dependent on the services of the promoter Mahesh Shetty, directors and key members of the management team. Any damage to reputation of the promoter / his services may have an adverse impact on the business

2. There is heavy concentration when it comes to geographical diversity. Most of the coaching centres of the company are located in Mumbai and around 90% of the standalone fees is also received from there.

3. The company has provided loans to MT Educare Charitable Trust in the past at price not linked to market variables and may continue to do so in the future

4. Despite having loan burden of its own as on March 2011, In FY11, a loan of Rs.5 crore was given to a group company Neptune Venture and Developers


Concluding Remarks:
Even while keeping the growth and revenue potential of educational coaching centres in view, it may be difficult for investors to digest a heavier PE for a concentrated business such as this. The IPO may give listing gains - may be even handsome gains, but continued growth in shareholder value or rather the maintainability of the same over the long term remains a question keeping in view the risk factors involved

Retail Investors and Eligible Employees would be entitled to a Discount of 5% on the Final Issue Price of the IPO. “NBCC offer is unique in a sense that there are no listed project management consultancy firm,” said Abhay Bongirwar, managing director and CEO at IDBI Capital Market Services, which is one of the book running lead managers along with Enam Securities Pvt Ltd.

“Though the NBCC offer is small, it is very important from the government perspective as the revenue raised would flow into the government coffers and not contribute to the expansion of the company,” said an NBCC official.

Budget 2012-13 Speech - Full Text
Full Text of Speech by
Mr. Pranab Mukherjee
Minister of Finance

March 16, 2012

Madam Speaker,
I rise to present the Union Budget for 2012-13.

1. For the Indian economy, this was a year of recovery interrupted. When one year ago, I rose to present the Budget, the challenges were many, but there was a sense that the world economy was on the mend. The Budget was presented in the first glimmer of hope. But reality turned out to be different. The sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone intensified, political turmoil in Middle East injected widespread uncertainty, crude oil prices rose, an earthquake struck Japan and the overall gloom refused to lift.

2. While I believe that there should be no room for complacency, nor any excuse for what happens in one’s own country, we will be misled if we ignore the ground realities of the world. The global crisis has affected us. India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to grow by 6.9 per cent in 2011-12, after having grown at the rate of 8.4 per cent in each of the two preceding years. Though we have been able to limit the adverse impact of this slowdown on our economy, this year’s performance has been disappointing. But it is also a fact that in any cross-country comparison, India still remains among the front runners in economic growth.

How new SEBI rules will affect MCX IPO Listing

March 08, 2012 0
How new SEBI rules will affect MCX IPO Listing
SEBI has introduced new norms to be followed in case of listing of all new IPOs. The recently concluded MCX IPO would be the first one to be subjected to the new regulations on the listing day. Let's try to understand how these regulations may affect the listing price movements of MCX and future IPOs in the Indian market

According to the new norms mandated by SEBI for IPOs, investors must note that the shares offered under the IPO on the listing day, would initially go through a pre-open session period which will last for an hour between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. During this period, investors would be allowed to punch in orders, modify them and/or cancel them during the first 45 minutes, i.e. upto 9:45 AM. The rationale behind such a move is aimed at protecting the interest of the retail shareholders from artificial price-rigging on the bourses.

NBCC IPO to open from March 22, 2012
The IPO of the state-run National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) is likely to open for subscription from Thursday, March 22, 2012.

The offer comprises a net offer of 11,880,000 equity shares and includes a reservation of 1,20,000 equity shares for subscription by the eligible employees. NBCC has appointed IDBI Capital Market Services Ltd. and Enam Securities Pvt. Ltd. as the Book Running Lead Managers. The company currently functions under the Ministry of Urban Development and is the largest public sector construction company in India

The government is looking to sell 10% stake in state-owned construction company NBCC via the initial public offering (IPO) route. The price band for this issue would be decided in the EGoM meeting scheduled on Monday, March 19, 2012

The rationale behind such a move is aimed at protecting the interest of the retail shareholders from artificial price-rigging on the bourses.

However, the crux of the new norms introduced by SEBI states that all the IPO listings on the bourses would be controlled by circuit limits right from the listing day. According to SEBI regulations, in case the equilibrium price (price at which the bid rate matches with the ask rate) is discovered during the pre-open session, the price band for normal trading session shall be 20 per cent of the equilibrium price. In case the equilibrium price is not discovered, then the 20 per cent circuit limit would be applicable on the issue price. While the above mentioned rules are in place for companies with issue sizes in excess of Rs 250 crore, the ones with issue size up to Rs 250 crore would have set circuit limits of 5 per cent either on the equilibrium price or the issue price as stated above

MCX IPO be become first IPO to list with listing price discovery regulation

March 07, 2012 0
MCX IPO be become first IPO to list with listing price discovery regulation
MCX IPO, which will list its Equity Shares on the exchanges on Friday, March 9, 2012, will also be the first company to list its shares under the new SEBI regulation of having a mandatory call auction session in the first hour

According to the new regulation envisaged by the market regulator SEBI, there would be a price discovery mechanism in place for IPO listings through a call auction in the first hour of trade. Based on the price arrived at through the call auction between 9:00 am and 10:00 am, there will be a 20% circuit filter on the stock for the rest of the session.

Thus, for instance, if in the first hour of trade, MCX gets a base price of Rs.1400, then the stock price can hover 20% on either side, i.e. in the range of Rs.1120 to Rs.1680 during the rest of the trading session. If the base price is discovered at Rs.1500, then the stock price can roam around in the range of Rs.1200 to Rs.1800 and so on.
