Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By on November 15, 2014

On one hand we are witnessing new milestones for secondary market, but on primary market front, we are still waiting for a main line IPO to hit the market. As usual, SME IPOs keeps coming for tiny floats. We have yet another BSE SME IPO opening shortly. Details of the same are as under:

Anubhav Infrastructure Ltd (AIL) is coming out with an offer for sale and fresh issue of equity to mobilize Rs. 9 crore for BSE SME listing. The company was originally incorporated as “Anubhav Vanijya Private limited” to deal in as wholesaler / trader of consumer goods. Later the company decided to get involved in the business of construction and civil works. With the change in the business activity, the company got itself converted into “Anubhav Infrastructure Limited” on January 11, 2008.  The company is engaged in the trade of marketing and construction /civil work since 2007 recording growth in revenues.

To part finance its brand building and general corpus funds, the company is coming out with the issue of 6000000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 15 per share to mobilize Rs. 9 crore. This entire issue is as an offer for sale by existing investors. Issue opens for subscription on 26.11.14 and will close on 28.11.14. Minimum application is to be made for 8000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. The issue is lead managed by First Overseas Capital Ltd and Maheshwari Datamatics Pvt. Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post issue shares will be listed on BSE SME. Between 31.3.2006to 31.3.2012 Company issued further capital at a price ranging between Rs. 200 to Rs. 2500 per share and issued bonus shares in the ratio of 10 for 1 to raise its equity at the current level of Rs. 21.41 crore.

On performance front, the company has posted an average EPS of Rs. 0.26 for last three fiscals ended 31.03.14. For the first quarter of the current fiscal it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.12 crore on a turnover of Rs. 25 crore. If we translate these earnings on annualized basis on the fully diluted equity post this issue then the asking price is at a P/E of 68 plus making it a costly bet.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the second mandate. First mandate has given nominal returns on listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Considering the barriers on minimum investment and low preference by major broking community, retail investors can avoid this issue. However risks aver high net-worth individuals may park their surplus funds in this costly bet at their discretion
