Sirohia & Sons Ltd IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on September 7, 2014

Sirohia & Sons is engaged in the business of dealing in fertilizers and pesticides catering primarily to Tea Industry located in the North East region of the Country, particularly the state of Assam and West Bengal. It receives orders of the specific fertilizers and pesticides required by the Tea Estates through its direct marketing and procure them from the manufacturers which are mostly multinational companies like BASF India Limited, Bayer Cropscience India Limited, Biostadt India Limited, DIC India Limited etc,. 

Some of the products which the company is dealing include DELTAMETHREINE, CYPERMETHRIN, BACILLUS, THIACLOPRID and METHOMYL.

To meet its long term working capital requirements, the company is offering 3000000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 12 per share to mobilize Rs. 3.60 crore. From 2003 to 2008 company made preferential equity issue at a price of Rs. 50 per share and between 2011-13 it was done at a price of Rs. 30 per share. This has helped company to show NAV of Rs. 30 per share. Post IPO its equity will rise to Rs. 10.26 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 08.09.14 and will close on 10.09.14. It will be listed on BSE SME. Minimum application is to be made for 10000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. Issue is lead managed by VC Corporate Advisors Pvt Ltd. and registrar to the issue is Adroit Corporate Services Pvt. Ltd.  

Company has inconsistency in performance track records. In fact for past five fiscals, its top and bottom line has wide mismatch. For fiscals 2009-10 to 2011-12 its top line remained around Rs. 23 crore and net profit was in the region of Rs. 0.05 crore. For 2012-13 it earned net profit of Rs. 0.08 crore on a turnover of Rs. 16.89 crore and for 2013-14 it has posted net profit of Rs. 0.14 crore on a turnover of Rs. 11.50 crore. Thus while turnover is showing declining pattern, profit is showing rising pattern, which is really surprising. Last three fiscals average EPs is Rs. 0.37. Based on 2013-14 workings the asking price on fully diluted equity stands at 136 P/E which is making this issue a pricy bet. 

On merchant banker’s front, this is second mandate of SME IPO and first one has give rewards to investors with erratic movements of prices for past two years.
