Dear Kalyan
I do hold stakes in Concurrent, these are my doubts-
Questions:
1. Would love to see March 10 balance sheet? Whether company will forward a annual report to shareholders?
2. Gross mismatch between website and BSE notifications: website shows 600 cr project for health ministry which was not reported to BSE, so does 120 cr of roadway work. Under future work (meaning orders received??) 1300 cr from Sino Lanka never reported to BSE so does 135 cr of EPC contract.
3. Where does it get manpower? What are the number of employee working on payroll and as sub contract?
4. 10 trailers will be purchased to supply 15000 mt of material in month meaning 1 trailer will support 1500mt every month. Taking capacity of 25 tonne per trailer it has to make 60 visits every month between Vizak and Orissa (nearest place in orissa will be one way 270kms -540 kms both way, hows that feasible?)
5. Cost of project so far reported: close to 100 cr (many quantification has not been given). Who will fund these? Internal accrual ruled out, there is no reserves and suplus, who gives debt? We should see long term debt if any and whats the debt/equity portion. Trailer cost, power plant cost, subcontract cost to add more!!
6. Whether the company have a company secretary? Paid up capital is 13 cr plus.
7. Executing wind power at SL- whether company possess the technical know how? Ellis Richardson does not have a website? Being a international technical know how company!!
8. It says it has already spent 30 crores for Sikkim power project on project report, land etc. It spent the money before getting a project?
9. Who’s this Brahmani Udyog, they don’t have a website. The same company needs 15000mt of material still don’t have public information i.e. 600 trailers every month?
10. It says 74 cr order from Kranthi Constructions. Who’s this? Yellow pages say it’s a home builder.
11. Under Sikkim government website Concurrent does not appear as developer (possible it may not be updated).
