Good summary.

But one thing, note the latest eps calculations are not accurate. The right issue shares were not considered.

Nope.The way you are calculating the annual EPS(for the company for the year ended in March 2013) may not be correct...Because the right issue was announced on June 05, 2012.Just my view.I could be wrong.

You asked me are you sure. I calculated and showed you. Infact this quarter EPS also they have not taken the latest share amount.

As per the report, the profit(after tax) for the 3-month period ended on March 31, 2013, is 57,032 in Rs. The number of outstanding shares is 106,666,667 if the right issue shares were not considered for this period.This should give an EPS of around (57,032/106,666,667=)0.53 for the 3-month period ended on March 31, 2013. However, as per the report, the reported EPS for the 3-month period ended on March 31, 2013, is 0.49 which is less than 0.53.This gives an indication that the company has considered the right issue shares as well.Having said this, the way the company calculates the EPS may be different to our simplistic approach as the right issue was announced on June 05, 2012.

From March 31, 2012 to June 05, 2012(I am not sure the exact date), the company had 106,666,667 outstanding shares.However, from June 05, 2012(I am not sure the exact date) to March 31, 2013, the company has 165,333,334 outstanding shares.Thus, we can not simply say Profit 235,421 Mil/ 165,333,334 = Rs 1.42 annual eps.

Look we all make mistakes. I can and you can We can learn from each other. No porblem.

Also note some companies can make mistakes. Some it appears intentionally make mistakes to deceive. Look at LCEY report thread.

But the way you state stuff and say "Nope", I am not sure whether you want to learn or you already know so you want to disagree . If you tell me "but Slstock maybe the company is figuring out a different way" that a nice way to put it without saying Nope .

Anyway for Education puposes,

sometime companies take the weighted average of shares. But it will not show the true picture.

To understand this In 6 months time, SFIN report Rs 150 mil profit after tax. What is the 6 month eps. Do you divide by 165 mil shares , 106 mil shares or somethign in the middle? Can you keep using shares lesser than current issued number for calculation?

It seems you are very emotional. I have never said you have made a mistake and I have corrected. Who am I to correct you? It is your perception. Unless you come out of your mindset you will feel like this. The objective of this forum is not to hurt someone or to fight each other verbally. It is our intention to make profit on our investment with a little bit of research on companies. Having said this, we should not mislead the society. Unless we have a concrete evidence to justify, we should not mislead the society. Anyway, it is good to avoid further communication on this company’s report. Otherwise, the society will think we are promoting SFIN. Furthermore, I am not a linguistic to coin proper words.If the word “Nope” was not appropriate, pls excuse me. You have been doing a wonderful job in this forum. Pls continue your good work. Thanks.

Sorry to butt in - just to clarrify matters :

What slstock said re SFIN EPS Calculation is absolutely correct.
When a company changes its Capital Structure (i.e. in this case Rights issue) in the middle of a financial Year, it takes a weighted average number of issued shares based on Time. This is the Accounting Convention on how to deal with the eps calculation. But its also an illusion and tends to overstate the EPS. In Reality, at the end of the day (or in this case end of period !), there are "x" number of shares issued and the company made "y " amount. therefore eps should be y/x. Since the "x" number of shares issued including rights reflects the market price, stating the eps based on time based weighted average number of shares is just an accounting illusion, and serves to overstate the real eps.

SFIN is a good company. If you are share holder you do not have to get upset.

I stated the facts related to the topic and eps calculation.

Who is going to get deceived here is the question. If one blindly follow company reports and calcualtions , the only ones deceived will be us. I am not taking about SFIN . But in general. Always it is better to double check stats given by companeis.

Wait for future SFIN reports and see how they calculate eps . I don't know how much experience you have at CSE.

Study about weighted average of shares and the facts I stated and then if what I said is incorrect we can have a educational discussion.

Else I said what I know.

its process of learning .... not just for who really contribute by putting lots of good efforts.....
but also members like us who read these all sort of things.. and learn step by step many things.....

there can be things not correct or so... but as a reader we do have responsibility to follow thing rationally and with some attention.....
coz sometime there might be human errors...... [not the one which some do purposefully to mislead others & to have self gains.....].... but the once which really happened from the people who do hard works........

I appreciate good work of all our members of this forum! Smile
