All of these packaged products are sold under own brand name “Frozen Kings”.

Company’s logistics/infra services business vertical includes providing transportation services as well as Cold Storage / Warehousing facilities on per ton and per pallet basis respectively.

To part finance its long term working capital requirement and raise general corpus fund, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1100000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 60 per share to mobilize Rs. 6.6 crore. Offer consists of 672000 fresh equity shares as well as offer for sale of 428000 shares. Issue opens for subscription on 17.02.17 and will close on 22.02.17. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Minimum application is to be made for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is solely lead managed by Aryaman Financial Services Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. The issue and the net issue will constitute 26.72% and 25.36%, respectively of the post issue paid up equity share capital of the company. From inception till April 2014 it issued all equity at par and in December it issued further equity at a price of Rs. 17 per share. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.44 crore stand enhanced to Rs. 4.12 crore. The company has not paid any dividend since inception.

On performance front, on standalone basis the company has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 20.03 cr. / Rs. 0.21 cr. (FY14), Rs. 34.38 cr. / Rs. 0.87 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 49.09 cr. / Rs. 1.01 cr. (FY16). On consolidated basis the company posted net profit of Rs. 1.57 crore on a turnover of Rs. 51.74 crore for the fiscal 2016. For first half ended 30.09.16, on a consolidated basis it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.51 crore on a turnover of Rs. 29.91 crore. If we annualize these earnings and attribute on fully diluted equity post issue then asking price is at a P/E of around 24 plus making it a pricy bet.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the 12th IPO from its stable in last three years and past mandates have shown mixed trends.

Conclusion: Considering higher pricing, risk savvy cash surplus investors may consider investment for long term.
