S Kumars Nationwide

Anil Chana, Deputy Managing Director, S Kumar's, said the company had been awarded as a stalking horse bidder by the court. He said the company was not willing to match any rival bid of more than USD 120 million. "The final bid is to be announced on June 25."

The accompanying video.

Q: Does this mean that the deal is going through because the bids will be open by about June 23? Are you expecting any more counterbids, I believe your bid is about USD 120 million, if there is a further bid of more than what you have bid, would you go ahead and match that?

A: I would like to correct that the bid is not at USD 120 million, when the court decides the selection of a stalking horse, there are several considerations and not only economic considerations. Thus based on all that, the court has awarded us the stalking horse bidder, the auction process would be on the June 25 and yes there could be some other bidders coming in and its very hard say that right now.

Q: Even if its not USD 120 million, if there was a bid for say USD 130-140 million, would you go ahead and match that?

A: No, we will not.

Q: There were some reports that lenders were opposing your joint bid for Hartmarx, any truth in that?

A: They were but now we finally have had a settlement with them and that’s how now we were backed up by them also for the stalking horse.

The company was proposing our name, but the creditors were not in sync with that. However, over the weekend we had a chat with them—we have explained one package to them and now they are also in sync with us.

Q: So what is the next we hear and by when we will hear the next sizable news on this deal?

A: The court auction will be on June 25, so whosoever would be the successful bidder will be getting a sales order on June 26. After that, there is a ten-day period for people to file in objection. Thus, some time in the first week of July, the closing can happen.

Q: What is the exact bid size that you have put forward, any ballpark figure?

A: That’s a little confidential right now as it’s not a public document as of now.

Asian Hotels to restructure into 3 companies

Sushil Gupta, MD,Asian Hotels said today in an interview to CNBC-TV18, the company was going through a reconstruction and demerger process, will be divided into three entities. “Restructuring is likely to be over by October, 2009, which will be followed by re-listing of all the three entities,” he said.

He further said the hotel industry was fighting for the infrastructure status for the last two decades. "I hope the government listens because the hotels are a part of the infrastructure," he said.

The accompanying video.

Q: Before we talk about the recovery in your sector perhaps you could tell us what kind of corporate restructuring you are planning. There is some talk that the three promoters want to carve up the properties between each other and therefore it may involve some delisting and re-listing – are those reports true?

A: Yes that is right. The company is under going through a reconstruction and demerger process. I think which is expected to be completed by October. So it will be three hotels, three entities.

Q: Could you just give us a little bit more by way of detail, ofcourse you cannot give us ratios but what are the broad contours of this restructuring, which three, what properties will lay in each of the three properties?

A: Delhi is our major property so that will remain. Mumbai, they have a development opportunity and DIAL Delhi (Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd) and also at Bangalore. The Calcutta entity will have an opportunity to develop a hotel in Bhubaneshwar. There is some investment in Chennai so that is broadly the current situation is.

Q: What is the time line now between when you de-list and will all three companies re-list?

A: Yes. The process is likely to be completed by end October and then in November the re-listing will start and new listing for the two entities which will be Mumbai and Kolkatta. The rest will be again listed back.

Q: Can you confirm what kind of cash on books Asian Hotels has at this point and how that will be split up between the three entities?

A: Can’t be. The scheme is already on the domain of the stock exchange, it is there. So I do not think there is need to give any additional information on that.

Q: So the listed Asian Hotel’s today will have only the Delhi properties you are saying?

A: Yes. I am sure they also have their plans to develop more properties. I am just telling you the current situation. I think all the three groups should do well and with more investments, more diversification. I think it is a win-win situation as far as the shareholders are concerned and all the promoters.

Q: Last couple of days has been a distinct pick up in hotel stocks. The hope is that with expectations of the economy picking up, it would translate into higher occupancies and room rates for you – have you seen any early signs of that all on the ground?

A: The total arrivals in April 2009 are almost equal to April 2008 so there is somewhat a good sign especially with the government very good mandate, so all these are positive signs. I am sure that the economy should do well and if the economy does well the hotels naturally will do well.

As you say that the hotels are indicators of the state of economy, so I see some positive signs but let us wait till September-October and I am sure things will look much better and clearer.

Q: There is also talk that hotels might be shifted under the category of infrastructure which will bring down lending in tax rates for you – is that a recommendation or a request that a hotel industry has put forth to the government?

A: Well industry has been fighting for that status for almost 2 decades. I hope the government listens because the hotels are a part of the infrastructure. Somehow we are not getting our due. I am sure the new government in place will definitely have a positive view on that, I hope so. If that happens that is really a win-win situation for the industry and also tourism as a whole for the country. Tourism is a great employment generator.

Q: The way things are now do you expect that in 2009 hotels will be able to unravel the discounts which the hotels have been giving to many of their most travelers at the higher end that you think you will be able to unwind those discounts?

A: I do not know. It all depends upon traffic. If you look at the total inventory in India, it is not very high. In the organized sector we have hardly 125000 rooms which is nowhere comparable with other countries. So the inventory is not really large but I am sure the land prices have a little bit corrected so that should give some opportunity to develop more properties. I do not see any issue for the hotel industry. I think it has to go up and up.

Bartronics India - An Update (5000 Cr Order)

Bartronics India has bagged an order worth Rs 5000 crore from Delhi government for setting up kiosks. These kiosks will act as data bank of local customers, service providers and business. In addition to this, Bartronics has also bagged the radio frequency identification (RFID) project. Sudhir Rao, MD and COO of Bartronics India, said, "In the last quarter, we won few high profile assignments specifically in the Delhi area. We are looking at the next five years to be a rapid growth area for us specifically in the Indian government sector."

The accompanying video.

Q: If you can take us through what kind of fresh orders you have bagged in the last quarter. Has there been any move in terms of e-governance initiatives which has brought more orders your way?

A: I think in the last quarter or so we have been at the forefront of some of the key government initiatives and to that extent we have won few high profile assignments specifically in the Delhi area. Now that elections are over, we have a fairly stable government at the centre where we are really looking at the next five years to be a rapid growth area for us specifically in the Indian government sector.

To come to some specific initiatives of the government, we are looking forward to the national identity card programme, which is already on a rollout on pilot basis. But now that the new government is in place we should see this project really kicking off during this current financial year.

A couple of other initiatives which the government has taken during the last five year period is the financial inclusion projects. Many of them got held up mainly because of the election process and now that the election is over and we have continuity of the government. I think we will see many of these projects really moving fast.

Q: Just need to discuss one particular project that you recently got “AapKe Dwar” with Rs 5000 crore over nine years. So, I am assuming about Rs 500 crore every year but you expect a capex of Rs 750 crore just for the first year. So, in that sense how much debt are you planning to raise and I am assuming that this project will not be making money for you for the next two-three years?

A: As far as the “Aapke Dwar” project is concerned, we are looking at investment of around Rs 750 crore but this is spread out over a period of 18 months. In fact, the first phase of 300 out of the 2000 kiosks which have been planned is expected to be rolled out by October 2009. While the last few kiosks is expected to roll out by October 2010, we are talking about an 18 month period beginning April 2009 to really look at usage of those funds.

As far as the capabilities of Bartronics is concerned, in terms of raising this capital, I think we are already there. As far as financial closure is concerned, we are only looking at how to structure the entire capital expenditure in such a way that it does not strain the balance sheet.

Coming back to the point of profitability, the internal calculation of the project show that in our first case scenario; we should be able to breakeven by the end of two and a half years. So, it is not really a major challenge for us in terms of fund raising, operations or profitability. We are expecting this project to take us to the next growth phase.

Q: If you can give us an idea of what kind of run rate you are looking at in terms of revenue growth over this and the next year considering the orders that you are expecting and you have had a negative other income from mark to market (MTM) losses, how will they shape up in FY10 and FY11 as also your interest cost?

A: As far as the revenue run up is concerned, we have given the guidance for FY10. We have retained that guidance at around Rs 1000 crore for topline and bottomline of 15-18%. As far as the mark-to-market (MTM) losses are concerned, I guess it is just a function of time—part of them are related to MTM losses on the outstanding,foreign currency convertible bonds, part of them are related to MTM losses on foreign exchange losses. But this is a trend that is going to continue and as the dollar-rupee variation happens, we need to take care of the MTM as per the accounting guidelines.

Coming back to profitability and the interest costs, I think interest costs are significant during to the last quarter or for the last financial year and they are going to slightly increase during the current year as we draw down for the Aapke Dwar facility. But I guess as the operations grow the profitability on the Aapke Dwar project, it is also fairly good for us to easily take care of the increased interest burden.
