To meet its working capital requirements, the company is coming out with an IPO of 1266000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 24 per share to mobilize Rs. 3.04 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 30.06.15 and will close on 06.07.15. Minimum application is to be made for 6000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is lead managed by Guiness Corporate Advisors Pvt Ltd and Sharepro Services (I) Pvt Ltd. In February 2014 it issued bonus shares in the ratio of 3 shares for every 38 shares. Thereafter it issued equity shares to promoters at par till September 2014. Its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.49 crore stand enhanced to Rs. 4.76 crore post IPO.
On performance front, the company posted net profit of Rs. 0.04 crore on a turnover of Rs. 3.37 crore (FY 2013) and net profit of Rs. 0.01 crore on a turnover of Rs. 4.75 crore. For first nine months ended 31.12.14 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.08 crore on a turnover of Rs. 10.99 crore.
If we annualize these earnings and attribute to fully diluted equity post issue then asking price is at a P/E of 104 plus. Thus issue is aggressively priced.
Merchant banker has erratic performances for its past mandates. This is 17th IPO from its stable.
