In a surprise announcement, we have yet one more BSE SME IPO from Lakhotia Polyester (India) Ltd. (LPIL) Details of the same are as under:

LPIL is the Flagship Company of the group is a new age fashion yarn manufacturer. The Company has grown under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Madhusudan Lakhotia. The promoters of the Company are associated with the textile industry since decades. The Company was formed in 2005 with the objective of producing textile yarn for catering to the domestic and international markets. The Company started with manmade yarn products and found its niche in the metallic yarn and related products. The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing of lacquer coated Polyester films, transfer foils and M type metallic yarns, which are appropriate for textile, printing, decoration and packing industry and manufacturing of grey fabrics used in sarees and as interline cloth. The yarns produced by the Company are used for made ups in apparels, hosiery, home furnishings & garment industry. The metallic yarn and metallic film manufacturing facility is located at Pimpalgaon Baswant, Nashik, whereas fabric manufacturing facility is located at Malegoan, Nashik. The manufacturing facilities are fully backed by a strong team of technicians, machine operators and production controllers.

To augment long term working capital and general corpus fund, the company is coming out with an IPO of 1452000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 35 per share to mobilize Rs. 5.08 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 19.03.13 and closes on 21.03.13.Minimum application is to be made for 4000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter.  Post issue, shares will be listed on BSE SME.  This issue is lead managed by Intensive Fiscal Services Pvt.

On the company's performance front, it has posted an average EPS of Rs. 1.05 for last three fiscals and Rs. 0.81 for first half of current fiscal. Company's NAV is at Rs. 12.15 as at 31.03.12 and Rs. 24.99 as at 30.09.12 which will stand enhanced to Rs. 28.87 post issue. Thus the asking price is at a P/E of 35 plus on existing equity that also covers bonus issue in the ratio of 10 for 26 in the year 2011. In August 2012, the company made preferential issue of 1241400 equity share at a price of Rs. 35 per share that raised the NAV as on 30.09.12. Company's turnover of Rs. 10.74 crore for 2010-11 fell to Rs. 7.96 for 2011-12 and for H1 of current fiscal it is Rs. 3.35 crore.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

On merchant banker's mandate performance part, this is the fifth issue and out of earlier four mandates only 1 has failed to give gains on debut. But considering diminishing top line, higher valuation and the entry barrier, one should avoid this issue.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
