Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is solely lead managed by Hem Securities Ltd. and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Issue constitutes 30.05% of the post issue paid up capital of the company. Company has issued entire equity at par so far. It has also issued bonus shares n the ratio of 1.63 shares for every 1 share held in December 2017 and 9 shares for every 1 share held in January 2018. Average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 0.38 per share. Post issue, its current paid up capital of Rs. 10.00 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 14.30 cr.
On performance front, for last four fiscals DCSL has posted turnover/net profits of 9.17 cr. / Rs. 1.13 cr. (FY14), Rs. 9.74 cr. / Rs. 0.79 cr. (FY15), Rs. 15.15 cr. / Rs. 1.32 cr.

For last five fiscals, DCSL has shown healthy CAGR of 56.27% in revenues and CAGR of 72.85% in net profits.

Artefact has incurred losses for quarter ended 31.12.17.
On merchant banker’s front, this is 47th mandate from its stable in last six fiscals. Out of last 10 listings, 1 open at a discount to offer price and the rest opened with a premium ranging from 2.7% to 20% on the day of listing.
Considering recent performance, orders on hand and the future prospects for the segment, investment in this issue may be considered.
