Review By Dilip Davda on September 22, 2015

Cawasji Behramji Catering Services Ltd (CBCS) is currently engaged in the business of providing food catering & housekeeping services, both in India and abroad. In context of services offering in abroad / overseas clients, it provides catering & housekeeping services on vessels travelling to high seas. Besides this, the Company has also forayed into restaurant business wherein it provides multi-cuisine food to consumer through its restaurant. Thus the company currently involves in offshore catering and housekeeping services, onshore catering services and fine dine restaurants.

To get its shares listed on exchange, the company is coming out with a maiden offer for sale of 1330000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 14 per share to mobilize Rs. 1.86 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 29.09.15 and closes on 05.10.15. Minimum application is to be made for 10000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Hem Securities Ltd is the lead manager and Sharex Dynamic (India) Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. CBCS issued equity shares at par since inception till 2009 and has also made two bonus issues in the ratio of 1.5 for 1 in June 2013 and 3 for 1 in April 2015. This being offer for sale, paid up equity remains at Rs. 5 crore post issue.

On performance front, the company has posted an average EPS of Rs. 3.18 for last three fiscals. For FY 15 it suffered a setback and has posted net profit of Rs. 0.82 crore on a turnover of Rs. 64.16 crore against net profit of Rs. 2.22 crore on a turnover of Rs. 72.90 crore. As the paid up equity has jumped three fold post bonus in April 2015, if we attribute its latest earnings on current equity then it has posted an EPS of Rs. 1.64 and thus asking price is at a P/E of 8 plus. On P/BV factor, as its NAV is around Rs. 21 asking price is at a 67% P/BV. Thus the offer price appears to be reasonable.

On merchant banker’s front, this is 20th SME issue from its stable and earlier mandates have given average rewards.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Investors having surplus funds may consider this offer for medium to long term rewards.

Reviewer recommends Subscribing to the issue.
