ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with its maiden combo IPO of 4312000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 72 per share to mobilize Rs. 31.05 cr. at the upper cap. The issue consists of 3811200 fresh equity shares worth Rs. 27.44 cr. and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 500800 equity shares worth Rs. 3.61 cr. The IPO opens for subscription on August 25, 2025, and will close on August 28, 2025. The minimum application to be made is for 3200 shares and in multiple of 1600 shares thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. The issue constitutes 28.52% of post-IPO paid-up equity capital of the company. The company is spending Rs. 3.55 cr. for the fresh equity issue process, and from the net proceeds of the issue, the company will utilize Rs. 8.30 cr. for repayment/prepayment of certain loans, Rs. 11.50 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 4.09 for general corporate purposes.

The company has issued entire initial equity shares at par, and issued bonus shares in the ratio of 51 for 1 in March 2021, and 2 for 1 in November 2024. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters/selling stakeholders is Rs. 0.05, Rs. 0.06 per share.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has (on a consolidated basis) posted total Revenue/Net Profit of Rs. 86.62 cr. / Rs. 3.35 cr. (FY23), Rs. 88.27 cr. / Rs. 3.74 cr. (FY24), and Rs. 94.81 cr. / Rs. 5.50 cr. (FY25). Higher top and bottom lines for FY25 raise eyebrows and concern over its sustainability going forward, as it is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment.

For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 4.02, and an average RoNW of 31.69%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 4.01 based on its NAV of Rs. 17.94 as of March 31, 2025, and at P/BV of 2.28 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 31.56 per share.

If we attribute its FY25 super earnings on post-IPO expanded equity base, then the asking price is at a P/E of 19.78, and based on its FY24 earnings, the P/E stands at 29.15. Thus, based on its recent financial data, the issue appears fully priced.

The company has posted PAT margins of 3.88% (FY23), 4.24% (FY24), 5.82% (FY25), and RoCE Margins of 51.07%, 45.39%, 47.68%, respectively for the referred periods. 

DIVIDEND POLICY:

As per offer document, the company has shown Dev Info, and Sattrix Info, as their listed peer. They are trading at a P/E of around 20.4 and 33.7 (as of August 21, 2025). However, they are not truly comparable on an apple-to-apple basis. This comparison appears to be an eyewash.

MERCHANT BANKER’S TRACK RECORDS:
This is the 1st mandate from Shannon Advisors in the ongoing fiscal. It has no past track record so far.
