Oceanic Foods BSE SME IPO review (May apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on March 15, 2017

Oceanic Foods Ltd (OFL) is engaged in manufacturing of dehydrated food products. It exports dehydrated vegetables to various countries around the globe. Its products are internationally certified by US FDA, Kosher and Halal and are domestically certified by FSSAI, and APEDA. OFL currently have two manufacturing units spread over more than 5 acres in aggregate. Unit I is situated at Lalpur, Jamnagar spread over 5 acres and Unit II situated at Jamnagar spread over half acre. Unit I is an automated plant where primary process of dehydration is carried out at Unit I which includes peeling, washing, slicing and steam drying. Unit II carries out Secondary Process of Dehydration which includes oven drying and toasting. The company has an in-house Laboratory for testing the quality of our products.

To part finance its working capital and general corpus fund needs, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1000000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 65 per share to mobilize Rs. 6.50 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 20.03.17 and will close on 22.03.17. Minimum application is to be made for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is solely lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Link Intime India Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Having issued all equity at par in 1993 and 1995, it also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 10 for 1 in January 2016. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 2.75 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 3.75 crore.

On performance front, the company has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 50.24 cr. / Rs. 1.22 cr. (FY13), Rs. 71.53 cr. / Rs. 1.30 cr. (FY14), Rs. 81.34 cr. / Rs. 1.23 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 62.84 cr. / Rs. 1.70 cr. (FY16). For the first half of the current fiscal it has posted net profit of Rs. 0.37 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 39.76 cr. If we annualize the latest earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity post issue then asking price is at a P/E of around 32 plus and at 1.7 P/BV making it highly priced offer. The company has faced set back in last two years as indicated by the performance.

On merchant banker’s front, this is 38th mandate from its stable and past mandates have shown mixed trends.

Conclusion: As the issue is aggressively priced, only risk savvy cash surplus investors may consider investment for long term.

With entry barriers, SEBI wants only well-informed investors to participate in such offers. With crazy listings in the recent past, SME IPOs drew the attention of investors across the board and lead to seer madness. However, as SME issues have entry barriers and continued low preference from the broking community, any reader taking decisions based on any information published here does so entirely at their own risk. The above information is based on information available as of date coupled with market perceptions. The Author has no plans to invest in this offer.
