Junction Fabrics And Apparels Ltd (JFAL) is engaged in the business of garment manufacturing and selling both Knitted Fabric as well as Garments. Its range of garment products covers all the age group segments such as kids wear, mens wear, ladies wear, boys & girls wear. JFAL uses variety of knitted fabrics such as 100% cotton, 100% polyester, blended (cotton and polyester) and printed polyester fabrics in the production of garments and selling it to domestic garment manufacturers.
JFAL sales around 80% of its products in domestic markets and the rest to Middle East Countries such UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi where there is demand for company’s products as there are sizeable expatriates living in these countries.
JFAL manufactures 100% cotton fabrics by supplying Yarn to the Mills for Knitting, Dyeing, Printing, Compacting factories. To meet its working capital requirement the company is coming out with an IPO of 1000000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 16 per share to mobilize Rs. 1.60 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 25.06.15 and will close on 29.06.15. Minimum application is to be made for 8000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post issue its paid up capital will rise from Rs. 1.69 crore to Rs. 2.69 crore. Issue is lead managed by Hem Securities Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue.
On performance front, the company has reported turnover and net profit of Rs. 9.77 crore /Rs. 0.14 crore ( 2012-13) and Rs. 14.55 crore/Rs. 0.12 crore (2013-14). For first nine months ended 31.12.2014 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.11 crore on a turnover of Rs. 9.46 crore. Thus it has posted an average EPS of Rs.1.5 for previous two fiscals on an equity capital of Rs. 0.85 crore. It issues preferential equity to promoters at a price of Rs. 12.10 to raise it to Rs. 1.69 crore which will get enhanced to Rs. 2.69 crore post this IPO. If we annualize the latest working and attribute that to enhanced equity then the EPS stands at Rs.0.56 and thus the asking price is at a P/E of 28 plus.
This is 14th IPO from the Lead Manager that has shown average performance for its past mandates.
Based on above details, this IPO looks pricy and post listing may witness thin trading after initial hiccups.
