Over the periods, the company has tried all gimmicks of change in business model, and now planning to raise its equity by nearly threefold with this RI. The company is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. The offer document is silent on its employees' strength. 

ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with its Rights Issue (RI) of 495269896 equity shares of Re. 1 each at par value to mobilize Rs. 49.53 cr. The RI opens for subscription on May 27, 2024, and will close on June 25, 2024. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 198 for 100 equity shares held by the eligible stakeholders as of the record date of May 17, 2024. The full amount it to be paid on application for the number of shares applied. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE. The company is spending Rs. 0.50 cr. for this RI process, and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 36.65 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 12.38 cr. for general corporate purposes.

The issue is self-managed by the company and Skyline Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. 

Post-RI, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 25.01 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 74.54 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 74.54 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, the company has (on a consolidated basis) posted a total income/net profit/-(loss) of Rs. 9.47 cr. / Rs. 0.52 cr. (FY23). For 9M of FY24 ended on December 31, 2023, it earned a net profit of Rs. 1.52 cr. on a total income of Rs. 7.31 cr. Financial data for 9M-FY24 with a 24.36% margins appears to be a window dressing. 

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has declared dividend of 0.01% for FY23 and FY24. 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: 540377 (FV Re. 1).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 1.85 on May 16, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 1.29 on May 17, 2024. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 1.55 / Rs. 1.29. The scrip last closed at Rs. 1.55 as of May 22, 2024 with vested interests market operations to tempt investors. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 10.68 / Rs. 1.04. The counter is currently under ESM: Stage 1.

The promoters' holding has been constant at 2.26% for the last two quarters ended with March 31, 2024. The counter is well managed above the par value by vested interests to lure investors.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Though this RI is at par, it’s a “High Risk/Low Return” bet. It has financial performance only for the last 21 months and in particular its 9M-FY24 performance appears to be a window dressing. Nearly threefold hike in equity post RI indicates servicing issue as well. Low promoters’ holding also raise concern. There is no harm in skipping this at par offer.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
