separate company with focus on IT peripherals such

Financials and Conclusion
On a
consolidated basis ,company’s top line spurted from Rs.0.84 Cr in 2010 to Rs.7.64
Cr in 2014 . Its bottom line is still in loss to profit on an yearly basis .In
last financial year , to write of its entire accumulated loss WeP reduced its
equity capital by half .Promoters are holding 39.26 % stake and other FII’s and WIPRO
LTD together holding another 20 % stake. Because of low floating stock
,liquidity is low in this counter.If you are a risk averse investor and
considering conventional valuation parameters for investment decisions ,it is
not a stock for you .I believe, due to various reasons ,company is at an
inflection point and the better days are just coming.But it is a long term
story and a stock only for those with enough patience.Remember ,this is not a 'multibaggerstocksideas'
but a stock suggestion based on the anticipated future growth of company .WeP
is listed only in BSE & BSE CODE : 532373 and currently trading around Rs.10.
Disc : I have vested
interest in "WeP Solutions Ltd".
