FY11 results: Portfolio gaining in completed assets;
now needs visibility on exits


 FY11  results: Ishaan  reported  adjusted  FY11  NAV/share  of  95.4p  down
2% from  Sep-10 NAV of 97p primarily on adverse FX. Portfolio valuation
(cap  rate  11-11.5%,  WACC  of  16%)  after  adjusting  for  the  construction
expenditure has remained largely unchanged since Sep-10. Ishaan’s stake in
the portfolio as per C&W is valued at £251M vs. its investment of £160M.
 Visbility on exits as yet low: Ishaan now has close to 6 msf of completed
area  and  will  reach  close  10  msf  over  the  next  two  years  (completion  of
under-construction assets). However, visibility on exits of rental generating
assets  remains  low  given  that  demand  for  such  space  in  India  has  not
matured. Vivarea (Mumbai residential project) is scheduled for completion
next  year, and  potential  flow-through  of that to shareholders is the earliest
possible fundamental catalyst for the stock price.
 Lease momentum is  overall  healthy  with  0.75msf  of  space being leased
over the last 6 months. This takes overall leasing to 6.9msf  or 66% of the
ongoing  projects  (11msf).  In  addition to this,  Ishaan has LoIs in  place  for
1.5msf  of space. While incremental leasing moderated in 2H FY11 vs. 1H
(0.7msf in 2H vs. ~2.3msf in 1H); overall FY11 was the best year for Ishaan
(~3msf  leased)  since  the  launch  of  these  projects  in  Mar-07.  Avg  rentals
remained stable  at  30-35psf.  Execution  too  progressed  well  with  rentyielding area doubling to 4.4msf in FY11 (from 2.1msf at FY10 end) and an
additional  1msf  to  be  operational  by  Mar-12.  Assuming  avg  rental  of
Rs35psf, this should generate annualized rental income of Rs2.3B (~£32M).
 Funding  position  is  comfortable with  debt  facilities in  place to  fund  the
construction  of the  entire  under-construction  portfolio. Most  of the  debt is
rent discounting debt so there is limited cash flow stress on projects. Further
net cash of ₤13.6M places it in a comfortable position to start work on future
projects.  Debt  to  portfolio  value  was  reasonable  at  0.4x.  Interest  costs,
however, increased by 200-300bp to 12-13%.
Maintain Neutral: We revise our PT marginally to 76p (vs. 72p earlier) as
we roll forward our timeframe to Mar-13 and factor in revised development
timelines. Our PT is based  on a 25% discount to  our SOTP estimate  given
the lack of trading liquidity on the AIM Market. The pace of office leasing
recovery is a key upside/downside risk to our PT and rating
