To part finance its working capital requirements and raise general corpus funds, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1083000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 39 per share to mobilize Rs. 4.22 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 27.09.16 and will close on 29.09.16. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is solely managed by Sarthi Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Since inception till 2011 it issues equity at par and in March 2015 it issued 1331200 equity shares at Rs. 25 per share. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.00 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 4.08 crore. After allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge platform.
On performance front, the company has posted near consistent top line with rising bottom lines for last four fiscals. Its turnover /net profits were Rs. 35.62 cr. / Rs. 0.17 cr. (FY13), Rs. 38.51 cr. / Rs. 0.20 cr. (FY14), Rs. 37.33 cr. / Rs. 0.30 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 38.57 cr. / Rs. 0.37 cr. (FY16). If we attribute last earnings on post issue equity then the asking price is at a P/E of around 31 plus and at a P/BV of 1.7. Thus the issue appears to be fully priced leaving nothing on table for new investors in near term.
On merchant banker’s front, this is the 20th Mandate and all past mandates has shown mixed trends.
Conclusion: Being fully priced IPO, Investors may give it a miss.
