Ref. Shereholders queries about the annual report year ending March 2019
Dear Mr. Reddy,
I am a shareholder of the company holding above 400000 shares.
I have following very important questions for you.I will need a written detailed response and also highly appreciate these questions to be answered at the coming conference call about the annual accounts of the company year ending March 2019.Your answering these questions in detail qill quell investors doubts about the financial health and future of the company and may provide some relief to long suffering long term shareholders of the company.
1… Under point 2 of the auditors report to Brightcom board of directors they have mentioned that the total assets of 14 subsidiaries worth 32233961345 rupee that is above 3223 crores 2. We did not audit the financial statements of all the 14 subsidiaries whose financial statements/ consolidated financial statements reflect total assets before elimination of Rs. 32,23,39,61,345/- as at 31.03.2019 and the total revenue of Rs. 21,32,59,06,216/— for the year then ended which are considered in preparation of the Statement. These interim financial statements and other financial information have been prepared by the management whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion on the quarterly financial results and the year to date results to the extent that they have been derived from such interim unaudited financial statements is based solely on the report of the management.Question is why these accounts of 14 companies have not been audited by appropriate accountants.
What is exactly the capital work in progress worth 14778 lakh.
What are intangible assets worth 49984 lakhs
What are the details of other intangible assets worth 49984 lakhs
Under financial assets what are the full details of investments worth 22545 lakhs and what return are they giving.
Financial assets under loans worth 16512 lakhs who has these loans been given to and under what terms.
What are other financial assets worth 1374 lakhs
What is the split of trade receivables of 88977 ;lakhs in terms of the duration that they are over due and when does the company expects to receive them? What action company has taken to improve on this front?
Company has been consistently showing high EPS of 9 rupee or so for the last 4-5 years every year yet shareholders have not been paid any decent dividend . Whereas IT industry of India usual standard is paying 30% of eps as dividend.Why is BRIGHTCOM not paying a dividend of say at least 2 to 3 rupee per annum and when do you think that will happen.
When do you think Daum issue will be finally closed? Do you have any timelines that you can tell the shareholders.?
Liabilities of the sold compamy are passed on to the buyer company including loans unless there is an exclusion clause in the purchase agreement. Hence directors of the sold com[pany are no longer responsible for the loans of the company that Brightcom bought. So bank cant sell the assets of the seller company director which banks have kept as security. That uis my simple and very clear understanding. I have big interest as a shareholder of Brightcom but that is the honest and true position.It pays for a company to sort such issues quickly and wisely to the benefit of the company and its shareholders.

Good thought that every company need more capital to grow. but in this case all its standalone business means holding company business is stuck since last almost 5 to 6 year and also not growing

This seems to be a turnaround around story.But any views about the pledge shares.
That is increasing every quarter now stands at 61.89%(Dec quarter last year)
Oak India investments sold 36 lakh shares yesterday. As per NSE data. The stock has hit lower circuits after continuous UC. Any views on this ?
Been tracking this stock for educational purpose.
The OAK investors is a old one for Brightcom.I find it difficult to understand why some investors will get out in loss(assuming invested at higher levels) when they know company will do good from now onwards and the share is in continuous upper ckt.Cant they wait for a month atleast when they know they will get more returns what they got today?
Might be they know what is cooking,which we dont.so they took the decision to exit.Above is my assumption and I may be wrong.
Companies and promoters who destruct significant wealth of retail investors keep coming back to the markets every few years with new names and newer stories to sell. And a newer set of gullible investors lap up the story. Only to tell their kids or grandkids how they got suckered.
Best thing to do is to stay very clear of such stocks.
