Investment Area

Strong brand and presence

MOFSL enjoys strong brand recognition in the industry. A pan India
presence across 377 cities has helped the company get a formidable
retail reach. Its registered retail equity broking clients have grown
50% yoy from 159,091 as on 31st March 06 to 238,421 clients on March
31, 2007. We expect the company's established presence to benefit from
the rising per capita income and ease in trade at across geographies.

Dedicated research focus

The company has a dedicated research and institutional sales team
focused on cash equities, derivatives and commodities. The research
team comprises of about 25 analysts covering 221 companies in 26
sectors and 9 analysts covering 26 commodities. Leveraging on research
capabilities has helped the company empanel itself with over 250
institutions, including over 165 FII's. Going ahead, we expect strong
traction in institutional business with more focus on overseas
investors.

Diversifying portfolio of products

Brokerage income which formed over 87% in FY06 has been brought down
to over 81% of its revenues during FY07 and is further slated to go
down as the new business ventures fructify. The company has expanded
its business offerings to include investment banking, venture capital
management and distribution of third party products.

Valuations

The IPO priced in the band of Rs.725-825 does offer scope for
appreciation given the long term business traction. At the upper band,
the NBFC is priced at a PE of 33.7x its FY07 consolidated diluted EPS
of Rs 24.5 and a price to book value of 3.2x. We recommend investors
to "Apply" the IPO.
