To part finance setting up of 4 new stors and meet working capital and general corpus funds requirements, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 2000000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 68 per share to mobilize Rs. 13.60 crore. Minimum application is to be made for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue opens for subscription on 27.12.16 and will close on 30.12.16. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 26.67 per cent of the post issue paid up equity capital of the company. The issue is solely managed by Sarthi Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. It has issued all equity at par since inception and has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 2.5 share for every 1 share held in August 2016. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 5.50 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 7.50 crore.

On performance front, the company has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 14.34 cr./ Rs. 0.33 cr. (FY14), Rs. 17.72 cr. / Rs. 0.35 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 21.49 cr. / Rs. 0.91 cr. (FY16). For first quarter of current fiscal it has marked net profit of Rs. 0.26 crore on a turnover of Rs. 5.20 cr. If we annualize these earnings and attribute on fully expanded equity post IPO then asking price is at a P/ E of 48 plus making it a costly bet.


On merchant banker’s front, this is the 22nd mandate from its stable and earlier mandates have shown mixed performance post listings.

Conclusion: Only risk aver cash surplus investors may consider long term parking.
