The stock appears expensive as it is aggressively priced at 19x at the lower band and 20x at the upper price band based on Rs 35.03 diluted EPS for FY07. The company operates in a niche area with very few companies with which it can be compared with. On a broader basis with most small and mid – cap IT companies trading at a PE of 10-12x, the issue seems very steeply priced with not much of upside left on listing. We advise investors to avoid the issue.

Experts/Company Poll Result Experts view
R S Iyer (KR Choksey) - Apply Take Solutions is an excellent issue. People should apply for the issue.
Manish Bhatt (Prabhudas Lilladher) - Apply Take Solutions looks to be good issue. Company has done lot of acquisition since 2004, so they raised some debts on the book. They are going to pay some debts through this IPO money. It will be debt free company in future. Promoters background is also good. People can subscribe to the issue.
SP Tulsian (Investment Advisor) - Don't Apply The company is into providing software products and services for Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Life Sciences (LS) Verticals and have 16 products in SCM vertical and have 6 products under LS vertical. Upto 31-03-07 the company completed more than 2,500 software installations for over 250 customers which are mainly MNCs, Medium and Small sized companies.
During 2004 to 2007, the company acquired stakes in various companies to foray into automotive space in India, SCM in South East Asian market and for US markets.
Due to various acquisitions, debt of the company rose to Rs 138 crore from Rs.41 crores in FY 06. Even sundry debtors of Rs 78.50 crore as at 31-03-07 is quite high compared to topline of Rs 183 crore of FY 07. A debtor cycle of over 5 months.
The company has now estimated a fund requirement of about Rs 142 crore of which Rs 104 crore is for repayment of debt availed for acquisitions in the past and for pre-payment of term loan. Rs 38 crore has been earmarked for product development and enhancement of domestic infrastructure facilities. Acquisition of companies/business/products seems to be main focus for which no fund has been earmarked The entire fund is being mobilized from the proposed issue.
Since major chunk of the fund shall get used for loan repayment nothing much shall get used for improved performance. Considering PAT of Rs 31.64 crore for FY 07 EPS translates to Rs 26.36 on expanded equity base of Rs 12 crore. At the upper band of Rs 730, share is richly valued at a PER of close to 28. No doubt, product IT companies are always richly valued, but this is quite steep.
Also due to low market perception for IT stocks, investment is not recommended in the issue.The price band is between Rs 675 and Rs 730 per equity share. The equity shares are proposed to be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange.
The objects of this issue are to raise fresh capital that can be deployed in the acquisition of companies, businesses and products as well as to repay the debt facilities utilised in the acquisition of ClearOrbit Inc., USA. It intends to enhance product development and domestic infrastructure facilities.
