Graham would love this market

One of the criterion for choosing a company to invest in for Graham was that the price is below 2/3rd of the net working capital (cash or net worth + inventory - debt). I wasn't able to collect the inventory but just by looking at cash - debt, I found that out of 557 companies in BSE SMALL CAP index, 54 was meeting Graham criterion. Some of them are,

Company Name
Aftek
Ahmednagar Forgings
Andhra Petro
Avaya Global
Balasore Allyos
BLB
BSEL Infra
Carol Info
Consolidated Finvest
D-Link India

SEAMAC
Silverline
Suraj Diamonds
Sujana Tower
Technocraft
Teledata
Triton Corp
Vaibhav Gems
Vakrangee Software
Vikas WSP
Vimta Labs
Zylog System

Some of these names like Aftek, Silverline, Teledata, are untouchables since they do not have a good history. But Lloyd Electric, Sasken, Vimta Labs, Vaibhav Gems, Micro Inks, Hexaware, Avaya Global, D-Link India were renowned names once. I haven't looked at these companies' P&L account to know whether the intrinsic value of the company is increasing or decreasing, but the running business of these companies is available for free.
