Post-RI, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 2.50 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 7.51 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 18.77 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last two fiscals, the company has posted a total income/net profit/ - (loss) of Rs.  14.89 cr. / Rs. - (10.14) cr. (FY23), Rs. 16.59 cr. / Rs. - (9.73) cr.

The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 306.95 on September 09, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 116.00 on September 10, 2024. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 140.90 / Rs. 116.00. The scrip last closed at Rs. 140.90 as of September 16, 024. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 140.90 / Rs. 34.34. The counter is currently under ESM: Stage 1. Perhaps the lower floating stock has helped the operators to rig its prices to an unrealistic level for this loss making company. 

The promoters' holding has been constant at 69.07% for the last three quarters ended with June 30, 2024. The counter is well managed by the vested interest counters and making this offer very attractive.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is running a single spot leisure and hospitality activities under one roof, but incurring heavy losses for the reported periods. Low floating stock is perhaps helping the vested interests to rig the counter at an unrealistic prices following fancy for hospitality counters. At the RI is prices lucratively at a discount of around 91% to its last traded price, well-informed investors may park funds for long term.
