Oceanaa Biotek Industries Ltd IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on March 16, 2014

Oceanaa Biotek belongs to Oceanic group and was primarily engaged in trading of building materials and related activities. In 2013 it took over a partnership firm that was engaged in pre-printed press materials. Now the company focusing on producing Tiger Shrimp seeds, Aqua Shrimp hatchery, Aqua Shrimp farming, Marine and Vegetable processing, Aseptic canning and bottling, information technology etc. To support all these activities it is planning set up of a food testing analysis lab and raise general corpus fund. To finance this, the company Is issuing 2100000 equity share of Rs.10 each at par. The issue opens for subscription on 18.03.14 and will close on 20.03.14. The issue is lead managed by VB Desai Financial Services Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Shares will be listed on BSE SME post allotment. Minimum application is to be made for 10000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. Current equity capital of Rs. 3.12 crore will rise to Rs. 5.22 crore post this issue.

On performance front, OBIL posted (- Rs. 3.06) EPS for previous three fiscals. For the first half of current fiscal, it has posted net profit of Rs. 0.19 crore on a turnover of Rs. 0.64 crore giving an annualized EPS of Rs. 1.20 on present equity of Rs. 3.12 crore and if we attribute this earnings on enhanced equity then EPS comes to Rs. 0.73. Based on this and its existing NAV of Rs. 9.95, the issue is being made at a P/E of 13+ and at 1 P/BV.

On Merchant Banker’s front, in mid eighties and nineties, it was very aggressive, and most of its mandate fared poorly post listing. It is now once again throwing its hat in the wing for SME IPOs.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Avoid this at par offer as it has poor fundamentals and also entry barrier.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
