To part finance establishments of new food joints and meeting general corpus funds needs, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1310000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at par to mobilize Rs 1.31 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 03.02.16 and will close on 05.02.16. Minimum application is to be made for 10000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post this issue, its present paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.02 crore will rise to Rs. 4.33 crore.
On performance front, while all group companies have been incurring losses, this company has clocked in a turnover and net profit of Rs. 0.48 cr/Rs. 0.04 cr. (FY14), Rs. 2.59 cr./Rs. 0.07 cr (FY15). For first six months ended 30.09.15 it has posted net profit of Rs. 0.25 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 1.93 cr. If we annualize these earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity post IPO then this at par issue is at a P/E of 11.

This being at par issue in hotel chain segment, risks aver investors may consider parking of their surplus funds for long term.
