Karnavati Finance Ltd IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on January 16, 2015

 

Karnavati Finance Ltd (KFL): is a NBFC company engaged in financing activities. To augment its fund requirement and listing of the equity, it is coming out with an IPO of 2580000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at par value to mobilize Rs. 2.58 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 19.01.15 and will close on 21.01.15. Post allotment shares will be listed on BSE SME. Minimum application is to be made for 10000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is managed by Corporate Strategic Allianz Ltd and Satellite Corporate Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post this issue, existing equity of Rs. 5.78 crore will rise to Rs. 8.36 crore.

 

 For the past three fiscals the company has posted negative EPS of (-Rs. 0.64). For the year ended 31.3.14 it earned net profit of Rs. 0.04 crore on a total income of Rs. 0.37 crore translating into EPS of Rs. 0.07. For first four months ended 31.07.14 it posted loss of Rs. 0.05 crore on a total income of Rs. 0.09 crore. As on 31.07.14 its NAV stood at Rs. 8.09. Thus IPO is at a negative P/E as well as at 1.25 P/BV with dull performance so far.

 

Lead Manager has poor track record. This is the seventh mandate from it and earlier mandates failed to live up to the confidence of the investors. It had four main line IPOs and two SME lPOs in the past.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

 

Considering entry barrier, poor performance of the company as well as low preference by broking community for SME IPOs, this issue is not worth.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
