KMS Medisurgi BSE SME IPO review (May apply)

Review By on April 7, 2017

KMS Medisurgi Ltd (KML) is an arm of KMS group that has interests in stock broking and medical equipment and medical services. KMS Medisurgi was incepted with the purpose of making medical and surgical devices accessible to every possible medical center and professional. Under the banner, it ventured into ethical marketing and distribution of medical devices, surgical disposables, hemostat, surgery equipment, radiology, oncology, diagnostic, cardiology, critical care, urology, research and much other scientific equipment in India.

To meet its rising working capital requirements and generate corpus fund, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 900000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 30 per share to mobilize Rs. 2.70 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 12.04.17 and will close on 17.04.17. Minimum application is to be made for 4000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is solely lead managed by Navigant Corporate Advisors Ltd and Karvy Computershare Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. After raising initial equity at par from MoA till 2002, it raised further equity at a price of Rs. 30 per share during 2016 and has issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1 for 1 in July 2016. Post issue, its current paid up equity capital of Rs.2.40 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 3.30 crore.

On performance front, the company has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 6.23 cr. / Rs. 0.05 cr. (FY13), Rs. 7.67 cr. / Rs. 0.03 cr. (FY14), Rs. 8.93 cr. / Rs. 0.03 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 8.48 cr. / Rs. 0.14 cr. (FY16). For the nine months ended on 31.12.16 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.14 crore on a turnover of Rs. 5.70 crore. Thus sudden jump in bottom lines for the last one and half fiscal leads to some window dressing ahead of issue plans. If we annualize the latest earnings and attribute on fully diluted equity post issue then asking price is at a P/E of around 60 plus and at a P/BV of 2 plus. Its RoNW is just under 4 % for all these years. As per prospectus, it has no listed peers to compare with.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the 2nd mandate from its stable and the first issue gave returns on the listing day. However, the scrip is at discount to offer price now.

Conclusion: Based on performance the asking price is very high. Only risk avers cash surplus investors may consider investment, others may ignore.
