Review By Dilip Davda on March 13, 2017

Prime Customer Services Ltd (PCSL) is a multi-services customer focused organization and offer value added services to a whole range of clients spread across various business segments. It is engaged in the business of providing services; namely, warehousing solutions, cold storage and ripening solutions, manpower solutions and packaging solutions. The company is also engaged in trading of perishable food items, mainly fruits and vegetables in the domestic as well as export markets. PCSL’s customers are primarily located in the western India, majorly Gujarat and Maharashtra.

The company has started exporting fruits and vegetables in the year 2015-16, currently to U.A.E. Now the Company has reached a stage where it has entered into tie-up with large corporate from procurement of fruits and vegetables and operate a warehouse facility, cold storage & ripening chambers of approximately 10,180 sq. ft. totally and managing clients’ warehouse and cold storage facilities of approximately 2,55,700 sq. ft. currently.

To part finance its long term capital and general corpus fund needs, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1214000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 60 per share to mobilize Rs. 7.28 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 20.03.17 and will close on 23.03.17. Minimum application is to be made for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is solely lead managed by Aryaman Financial Services Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. From MoA in 2007 till March 2008 it issued equity at par. Thereafter, it raised further equity at a price range of Rs. 25 to Rs. 40 per share during 2008-2014. It has also issued bonus shares in May 2016 in the ratio of 1 for 1 after forfeiting 200000 shares in the month of December 2015. Its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.04 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 3.49 crore post issue.

On performance front, the company has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 10.69 cr. / Rs. 0.06 cr. (FY13), Rs. 17.48 cr. / Rs. 0.10 cr. (FY14), Rs. 19.62 cr. / Rs. 0.08 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 21.05 cr. / Rs. 0.27 cr. (FY16). For the first half of the current fiscal it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.25 crore on a turnover of Rs. 13.92 cr. If we annualize latest earnings and attribute on fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of 41 plus and a P/BV of over 4.5 making it a costly issue. As per prospectus, the company has no listed peers to compare with.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the 14th mandate in last three years and past mandates have shown mixed trends.

Conclusion: Considering aggressive pricing, only cash surplus risk savvy investors may consider investment for long term.
