Fundamentals are very sound with NAV of 57.23 & EPS of 15.75. My gut feeling says it'll pass 140 easily soon irrespective of the current political instability.

Quarterly Financial Results :

Profit for the Quarter 31/03/2015 - Mn 629
Profit for the Quarter 30/06/2015 - Mn 776

Growth - 23 %

EPS for the Quarter - Rs 5.60

EPS annualised - Rs 22.40

That is better than COMB , DFCC , NTB . PABC , SEYB or UBC and almost equal to HNB ,NDB.

No Beta 1 , it cannot be 150/- ,

Here is the calculation of LFIN's fair value ,

	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4	EPS annualised	PER	Fair Value
method 1	5.6	5.6	5.6	5.6	22.4	7.9	176.96
method 2	5.6	5.88	6.17	6.48	24.13	7.9	190.627

Method 1 - Constant EPS in all four quarters.

Method 2 - a (5%) Growth in EPS Q by Q

So the least Fair value is Rs 176/- which I recon as a " Under Valuation ".

So the short term is not Rs 150/- but Rs 175/-

Long term I agree with you.

Above is wrong.
Q1 eps CALCULATED with 66 Mn (before split) shares
Q2 EPS to be calculated with 132 Mn shares..

LFIn is in a accumilation stage. If I red the MACD & Bollinger Bands correctly another two days the same process will happen and then we'll see the next maturity phase of the LFIN which has two remarkable points at Rs 145 /- and Rs 160/- .

Not that it will pull back from 145/= .

The phase which the counter will take to pass the Rs 145/= and 160/= will determine whether it will reach Rs 200/= this year or not.

Free-cash balance will certainly push the company's EPS to a better than COMB / HNB / SEYB figure in 2015-2016 FY.

Gold price drop will not make a hit on profitability as company just passed the 1st Quarter of the financial year and also the core business of the company is Leasing.

Predicted annualized EPS is 20/= ( minimum) , sector PE ratio is 10.5 .

Fair value = 20 X 10.5 = Rs 210/=

Also keep in mind that company might make a presence in "MYANMAR" in late 2016 FY for micro financing as many Banks & Finance from Sri Lanka just make an entrance.

LFIN has gradually increased its Dividend payout ratio during the history and EPS is Rs 5.6 for 1Q 2015.(Annualized - Rs 22.4). Hence the PE is 6.0 times.

Therefore if we calculate the expected market value of LFIN @ following PE levels;

Market PE @ 8 = Rs 179.2
Market PE @10 = Rs 224.0
Sector PE @ 12.93 = Rs 289.63

Therefore in the worse case any investor would be in the safe side since it is trading at a PE of 6 times.

Further LFIN maintaining a diversified portfolio of business. It contains Leasing/hire purchase, Islamic Financing, Mortgage Loans, Factoring, Micro Finance, Pawning, Margin Trading, etc. Also recently company has introduced an innovative product to capture an untapped market of informal money lenders @ a lower rate. I guess this would bombard the market @ lower rate compared to informal lenders with aggressive marketing strategies of LFIN coupled with riders recoveries at business points. This is first time a bank or a finance company approached this market.

Company has made losses with Gold pawning business during 2012. However company now have diversified its portfolio to minimize the risk. Currently LFIN concentrates only 8%-10% on pawning business out of their total advances portfolio. Hence diminishing Gold rate in global market is less impact-full compared to 2012. Further global gold rates are at the rock /bottom since 1970.

Further LFIN main business is leasing. During 2014, the imports of electric hybrid vehicles to Sri Lanka accelerated by 175% in terms of volume and 223% in terms of value. Reduction of duties for hybrid electric vehicles during 2014 was the reason for this boom. Japan is the major import source ofhybrid electric motor cars to Sri Lanka accounting for more than 95% of the market followed by Germany.

Hybrid Vehicles imports during 2010-2014(Source - Chamber of Commerce)

Year	Volume(No)	Value(Rs/Mn)
2010	438.00	980.00
2011	5,927.00	14,440.00
2012	1,943.00	5,439.00
2013	9,707.00	20,430.00
2014	26,729.00	66,004.00

This indicates the potential of the business and the trends for demand for hybrid vehicles has continues in 2015 as well.

Therefore considering the above facts I would like to recommend LFIN as a highly undervalue counter with high potential. Many investment funds, corporate investors eye as a medium/Long term investment due to its earnings potential and Dividend Yield .

In my purview LFIN would be the next SDB....!

Happy Investments
