Review By Dilip Davda on September 28, 2011

Indo Thai Securities Ltd. (ITSL):
Stock Broking Company based at Indore and providing all financial sector related services under one roof. . Now it is proposing to expand its infrastructure and network. To part finance this the company is coming out with a book building process IPO. ITSL is offering 4000000 equity share of Rs. 10 each within a price band of 70-84. The issue opens for subscription on 30.09.11 and closes on 05.10.11. Minimum application is to be made for 80 shares and in multiples thereafter. Shares will be listed on BSE and NSE.

Corporate Strategic Allianz Ltd. is the sole BRLM that brought two IPOs in the recent past and both has given positive returns on the listing day. Sharepro Services (India) Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. CARE has assigned IPO Grade 2 to this issue, indicating at below average fundamentals of the company.

On performance front, the company made progress from 2007 to 2010 and suffered a set back in 2011. For the fiscal 2010-11 it posted net profit of Rs. 1.06 crore on a total income of Rs. 4.55 crore resulting in an EPS of Rs. 1.77 on existing capital. If this is applied to enhanced equity post this issue, then it stands at Rs. 1.06 and thus the asking price is at a P/E of 70 to 84 and on a NAV of Rs. 12.94 it is being made at a 5.5 to 6.5 P/BV and is a costly bet.
