CHANGE IN TOTAL SALES: CAGR IN TOTAL SALES IS 25.13%.
CHANGE IN OPERATING PROFIT: CAGR IN OPERATING INCOME IS 30.23%.

CHANGE IN NET PROFIT:
Negative Net profit figure seen in FY2008 is due to the negative extraordinary income otherwise the operation is fully profitable. We are leaving the extraordinary figure to get the real glimpse of the change in Net Profit.

CAGR IN NET PROFIT IS 25.3%.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
Total Income grew at CAGR of 25.13%.
Operating Income grew at CAGR of 30.3%.
Net Profit grew at CAGR of 25.3%.In this we have excluded extra ordinary loss in the FY2008 because operation was profitable and inclusion of extraordinary loss could not have reflected true earning capacity of the firm.

RATIOS:

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
EPS grew from Rs 4.1 in FY2005 to Rs22.29 in FY2007 but took a beating in FY2008 and EPS was Rs-51.5 this drastic fall or loss is because of extra ordinary loss.
OPM improved over a period of 4 years by 3 percentage points from 23.5 to 26.5.
NPM improved from 10.8 in FY2005 to 17.5 in FY2007 but due to loss in FY2008 NPM turned negative.
Interest cover declined from 3 in FY2005 to 2 in FY2008 due higher interest outgo as company embarked the expansion drive and ventured into new related business ie; generation of power from plastic.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
Sales increased by 21.5% in Q3FY2009 as compared to Q3FY2008.
Operating profit declined by 1.84% in Q3FY2009 as compared to Q3FY2008 due to higher input cost.
Net Profit down by 59% due to higher interest outgo and the lower base effect.

VALUATION:
At Cmp of Rs27 it is trading at 4.2 xs. We value the company at 10 xs. This gives the fair price to be somewhere near Rs42 per share. We have accounted for the risk associated in the business by downgrading the growth in earning from 25% to 10%. In ideal case PEG should be near 1.
Other good reason to buy is that the stock is trading below its book value. As and if noticed by the market, the price will catch the right valuation.

CONCLUSION:
We expect good return from the counter. Investor should accumulate on every dip. The investment horizon should be eight month to one year.
