Also top twenty share holders hold 92% of the shares making it less liquid. This gives a chance of a quicker upside and it is a better bet than VFIN.

However i am not happy about their exposure to Gold Pawning and the possibility of Gold crashing. Also slowing Motor Vehicle growth may impact their growth rate.

Also interesting to see how they have financed their 789 million head office building.

lately LFIN is actively advertising and trying to acquire a bigger market share.

Cheers!

Osmand good effort. Maybe we should analyse the other VONE entities SAMP and RCL. The individual companies are better valued than the holding company itself.

Some RCL Research for those who are interested: http://forum.srilankaequity.com/t10815-rcl-tile-sector-star?highlight=tile+star

One of the most attractive shares in Bank/Fin sector.

Agreed with Rapaport on Gold pawning.Their exposure to pawning has to be calculated.They are offering advances for pawning above the industry average which is a high risk.
Most of the finance companies are making their profits from pawning activities ,which most of the customers use these funds for consumption not for investment purposes.

Their interest in Real estate has gone down while more concentration on Leases, Hire purchases and Gold loans is made.

Yes due to higher exposure to gold Loans, the risk management is a point LFIN needs to monitor. Good point.
But at least the collateral ( gold) is comparably lesser in risk to other items that can be used for pawning.

Leasing: they should be already locked in with leases with fixed rates for next few years. So the current revenue might not be effected for medium term. Even if there will be a drop in new leases due to slowing of Motor vehicle growth, there branch expansion might cover up for the lag.

What am looking out for is whether LFIN would venture to get more capital from abroad to make their capital adequecy ratios stronger.

Was this good move ?... Since out of total equity 25% going to use for buying this property, which is not good in this stage ( growing stage) My feel is Rs.0.8Bn whould have been used for their operation for max return.

Yes, am not sure also whether this was a good move at this time. Fact that DP is the previous owner of building and also major holder of LFIN might have played some politics also. Would need to know the method they used to fund this property and assesed at the market rates.
I also feel this is the time they could have used that capital to expand further. Anyway guess it is not a complete waste as property values increase over the long term.

Investors should avoid companies driven by individuals and families like Harrys, Pereras, Lan kems. These companies are not concerned about the minority investors. The profits and the assets are purely used for their individual agendas. I think this is what's going to happen to Samapth too. It will be a tool to buy shares the owner wants for power or to take debt for their individual needs. As they say the owners always win. The minority investors lose.

For Pereras first come the personel interest, and then only Company interest. This building was originally built to run a Casino. Construction was getting dragged for a long time. Sun City Investments and other recent developments with rgd to gaming and gambling he knows this building is not going to serve is strategic purpose in the future. Therefore disposing to LFIN, who else will buy this building.

Hes simply depriving LFIN to grow with this funds

Cant blame him. This is SL, and his petty kade style only works
