Suncare Traders BSE SME IPO review (Avoid)

Review By on December 16, 2015

Suncare Traders Ltd (SCTL) is in the business of trading into laminates, plywood/MDF. It has exclusive distributorship of Olive brand laminates manufactured by Bloom Dekor Limited. In the initial year SCTL worked as distributors of laminates, MDF in Gujarat and later on in the year 2009 it started branch at Hyderabad, Jaipur, Chennai, Bhiwandi and Chandigarh. At present, the Company is having its branch at Jaipur for catering the demand of  Rajasthan and at Bhiwandi for catering the demand of Maharashtra. The Company trades in laminates with varieties like Olive, Olive Saga, Olive Garden, Post Mail Sheet and Sigma etc.

To invest in JV for 50% equity stake and also providing debt of Rs. 5 crore along with raising general corpus fund, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 3784000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 64 per share to mobilize Rs. 24.22 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 15.12.15 and will close on 18.12.15. Minimum application is to be made for 1600 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is solely managed by Corporate Strategic Allianz Ltd and registrar to the issue is Satellite Corporate Services Pvt Ltd . Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. From January 1997 to January 2008 it issued equity at par. In December 2014 it further allotted 187500 shares and in April 2015 1449500 shares at a price of Rs. 80 per share. Its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 1.83 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 5.61 crore posts IPO.

On performance front, the company has posted an average EPS of Rs. 12.21 on a paid up equity capital of Rs. 0.38 crore. For first half of current fiscal, it has posted net profit of Rs. 0.02 crore on a turnover of Rs. 2.68 crore. If we attribute these earnings on annualized basis on post IPO equity then the asking price is at a P/E of 900 plus. Thus it is exorbitantly priced offer.

Merchant banker has poor track record for its past mandates.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

There is no harm in giving this exorbitantly priced offer a miss.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
