PREFACE:
This company has emerged as a frequent Right Issue (RI) making company. This is its fifth Right Issue since January 2018. It came with RI in January 2018 (148 for 219 @ Rs. 16.50 worth Rs. 30.00 cr.), May 2019 (62 for 645 @ Rs. 23 worth Rs. 9.97 cr.), August 2021 (40 for 99 at @ Rs. 12.50 worth Rs.24.96 cr.), February 2024 (1 for 1 at Rs. 5 worth Rs. 34.65 cr.) and now in April 2024 (67 for 47 @ Rs. 5 worth Rs. 49.40 cr.). This RI is just within two months of its last RI and that too a for a higher amount.

As of March 31, 2024, it had 153 employees on its payroll. 

ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with its 5th Rights Issue (RI) since January 2018. This time it is offering 98800000 equity shares of Rs. 2 each at a fixed price of Rs. 5 per share to mobilize Rs. 49.40 cr. Thus this is the biggest RI from the company so far. The RI opens for subscription on April 30, 2024, and will close on May 08, 2024. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 67 for 47 to its eligible stakeholders as of the record date of April 19, 2024. The full amount is to be paid for the number of shares applied. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE. The company is spending Rs. 0.45 cr. for this RI process, and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 35.00 cr. for repayment of identified unsecured loan, Rs. 10.00 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 3.95 cr. for general corporate purposes. 

This RI is solely lead managed by Vivro Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. 

Post-RI, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 13.86 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 33.62 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 84.05 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last two fiscals, the company has posted a total revenue/net profit of Rs. 33.45 cr. / Rs. 1.96 cr. (FY22), and Rs. 17.41 cr. / Rs. 0.58 cr. (FY23). For 9M of FY24 ended on December 31, 2023, it earned a net profit of Rs. 0.49 cr. on a total revenue of Rs. 10.64 cr. Thus it marked degrowth in its top and bottom lines. Surprisingly it kept raising funds via Rights Issue since 2018 but failed to deliver the desired performance. 

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared any dividends for the reported periods of the offer document. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post listings of RI shares based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 526544 (FV Rs. 2).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 8.68 on April 18, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 6.49 on April 19, 2024. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 6.81 / Rs. 5.74. The scrip last closed at Rs. 5.76 as of April 29, 2024. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 7.47 / Rs. 3.76. 

The promoters' holding has been constant at 18.62% for the last three quarters ended with March 31, 2024. The counter is well managed above the RI price to tempt investors.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

This is the fifth rights issue from the company since January 2018. It has posted de-growth in its top and bottom lines from FY22 onwards. Based on its performance the issue appears aggressively priced. Nearly two and half fold post-RI equity may face servicing issue. There is no harm in skipping this “High Risk/No Return” bet.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
