Risks

Operating Cash flows are not good. Working capital days, Cash conversion cycle, ROCE, ROE not upto the mark –outcome is high valuation which is typical characteristics for a turnaround company–Things look really bad before they turn decent, and then good and then turn very good.

Chances of turning very good?? We need to see –1 out of 100 companies turnaround succuessfully—rest of the companies bites the dust

Other income is high and skewing PAT

New business division of defense dont take off as anticipated

Dependency on limited customers for new contracts and

Competition from domestic and foreign players

There are related party loans to subsidiaries which may be susceptible to waivers
