Review By Dilip Davda on January 17, 2018

Shree Ram Proteins Ltd. (SRPL) is engaged in the business of de-linting and de-hulling of cotton seeds by mechanical process, oil extraction from cotton seeds and solvent extraction from cotton seeds oil cake and ground nuts. Its manufacturing process is in three stages (I) De-linting and de-hulling of Cotton seeds, this process result in manufacture of shot fiber (linter), and De-linted cotton Seeds (II) Cotton seeds oil extraction process result in pre-refine cotton seeds oil and cotton seeds oil cake and (III) Solvent extraction process, result in pre-refine wash oil and de-oil cotton seeds cake. Cotton linter can be use in manufacturing of papers and as raw materials for manufacture of cellulose, this can be further process for medical and cosmetic purpose, linter can be broadly classified as an industrial raw materials. Cotton seeds oil cake, cotton seeds de oil cake and cotton hull are used as animal feeds. Cotton seed pre-refine oil further process by refinery to convert in to edible oil.

To part finance its working capital and general corpus fund needs, SRPL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 6420000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each via book building route with a price band of Rs. 27-31 to mobilize Rs. 17.33 cr. – Rs. 19.90 cr. (based on lower and upper price bands). Issue opens for subscription on 23.01.18 and will close on 25.01.18. Minimum application is to be made for 4000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. Issue is solely lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd. and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. It raised entire equity till date at par. Post issue, its current paid up capital of Rs. 15 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 21.42 crore. Average cost of acquisitions of shares by the promoters is Rs. 9.24 and Rs. 9.81.

On performance front, SRPL has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 157.54 cr. / Rs. 1.29 cr. (FY14), Rs. 174.67 cr. / Rs. 1.36 cr. (FY15), Rs. 183.58 cr. / Rs. 0.51 cr. (FY16) and Rs. 157.80 cr. / Rs. 0.67 cr. Thus it has shown inconsistency in bottom lines for all these years and setback for FY17 in top line. Oil extraction segment is considered as low margin/high volume business. For first half of current fiscal, it has reported net profit of Rs. 0.39 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 48.72 cr. For last three fiscals it has posted an average EPS of Rs. 0.71 and an average RoNW of 5.01% on an equity base of Rs. 15 crore. If we annualize latest earnings and attribute it to fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of around 75 to 86 based on lower and upper price bands. Asking price is at a P/BV of 2.04 to 2.34 based on lower and upper price bands (on its NAV of Rs.13.21 as on 30.09.17). As per offer documents, company has no listed peers to compare with. On prima facie issue is exorbitantly priced one.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the 56th mandate from its stable in last three fiscals. Out of last 10 listings, 1 opened around par and the rest with premiums ranging from 1% to 130% on the day of listing. 130% rewards are from the only main board IPO of this merchant banker i.e. Astron Paper.

Conclusion: Considering exorbitantly priced offer, there is no harm in giving this issue a miss. (AVOID).


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Considering exorbitantly priced offer, there is no harm in giving this issue a miss. (AVOID).

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
