Financial Performance:

On financial performance front, for last three fiscals, KLM has posted total income/net profits of Rs. 23.94 cr. / Rs. 2.13 cr. (FY17), Rs. 42.73 cr. / Rs. 5.69cr. (FY18) and Rs. 68.36 cr. / Rs. 5.98 cr. (FY19). For the first half of FY10 it posted net profit of Rs. 6.92 cr. on total income of Rs. 50.79 cr.

However, its Net NPAs increased from 3.78% as on 31.03.17 to 8.12% as on 30.09.19. While first half of FY20 the company has shown growth, but it's rising NPAs raises concern.

Merchant Banker's Track Record:

This merchant banker is a non regular player for primary markets. However, it has brought few debts and equity offers recently.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Coupon rates are very attractive amidst lowering of interest rate scenario. While company has improved its performance for last two and half fiscals, rising NPAs raises concern. Considering poor rating, risk savvy cash surplus investors may consider parking of funds at their own risk. (Other).
