Company Profile

Power Mech is one of the leading power-Infrastructure Company which provides ETC-BTG (erection, testing and commissioning of boilers, turbine and generators), BOP, civil works and O&M (operations & Maintenance) services to power sector and other allied industries like petrochemical, steel and cement.
For FY 14, erection works constituted around 72 % of the total operating revenue. The company is presently engaged in more than 100 erection works projects across India and abroad.

Risks

1.       This Business is highly working-capital intensive and requires seamless cash flows for debt- repayments and for its working capital requirement. Maintaining working capital requirements often results in  further indebtedness
2.       Industry is highly competitive and international competitors enjoys better access to financial and other resources
3.       Higher interest regime is not favorable for the company
4.       OCF to sales ratio is miniscule at .02
5.       Concentrated client base is a threat

(1)    Repayment of the borrowing
Rs. 24.5 crore
(2)    Towards working capital requirement
Rs. 120 crore

Inference

Though, prima facie fundamentals of this company seem satisfactory but this company has a thin net-profit margin and there lies a miniscule cash flow in comparison to its sales.
Except L&T, other peers like BGR energy, Sunil Hitech and Techno Electric all trade at a lower price to earnings multiple than Power Mech. L&T being a diversified company justifies its higher earnings multiple.
This company works in a highly capital intensive industry and maintaining its working capital at an optimum level- is a perquisite and hence this issue is being floated.
Order book of this company is robust but cancellations and variations too keep on taking place and the same could reduce the size of the order book.
The company mainly caters the thermal power sector and power sector is presently facing a slowdown and as a significant portion of the company’s revenue comes from government entities and as such matters are subjected to changing government policies, red-tapism, corruption, routine reviews and audits etc,, there lies  high compliance costs and sometimes payment gets delayed or disallowed.
I did not find any reason to delve deeper into this issue as in the short run this issue may not be a viable one and in the medium to long run its future prospects are not that bright.
I better skip this issue.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
