For six months ended 30.09.14 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.53 crore on a turnover of Rs. 12.13 crore. Based on this if we annualized its earnings, then EPS stands at Rs. 3.87 on fully diluted equity post IPO. Thus its asking price is at a P/E of 11. 

On merchant banker’s front, this is the seventh IPO. It has average records for past mandates. It is the only merchant banker that had done SME IPOs for both exchanges. 

 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Although pricing looks aggressive, considering rising importance of water treatments and bright prospects ahead for this industry, this IPO may be considered for long term investment.
