ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with a Rights Issue (RI) of 5327656 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 30.00 per share to mobilize Rs. 15.98 cr. The RI opens for subscription on July 12, 2024, and will close on July 23, 2024. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 100 for every 224 shares held by its stakeholders as of the record date of July 04, 2024. The full amount is to be paid on application for the number of shares applied. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE. The company is spending Rs. 0.30 cr. for this RI process, and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 6.00 cr. for investment in subsidiary Desi Fusion Pvt. Ltd. for its working capital, Rs. 6.00 cr. for working capital, Rs. 3.68 cr. for general corporate purposes. 

This RI is solely lead managed by Srujan Alpha Capital Advisors LLP, and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. 

Post-RI, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 11.93 will stand enhanced to Rs. 17.26 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 51.79 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last two fiscals, the company posted a total revenue/net profit of Rs.49.54 cr. / Rs. 0.06 cr. (FY23), and Rs.  45.85 cr. / Rs. 0.03 cr. (FY24). Thus while its top line remained almost static, it marked negligible profits indicating capital servicing issues. Perhaps higher equity post-RI will worsen this situation.

DIVIDEND POLICY:
Company's offer document is silent on its dividend policy. It has not declared any dividends for the reported periods. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post listings of RI shares based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON NSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: JAIPURKURT (FV RS. 10).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 53.52 on July 03, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 43.94 on July 04, 2024. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 50.49 / Rs. 43.94. The scrip last closed at Rs. 44.98 as of July 10, 2024. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 83.48 / Rs. 36.35. The counter is currently under ESM-2. 

The promoters' holding has declined to 49.31% as of June 14, 2024 against 51.46% for the last two quarters ended on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. The counter is well managed above the RI price to tempt investors. 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is in the business of manufacturing, designing and marketing of variety portfolio of Indian women wears. It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. It marked minuscule profits on almost static top lines for the last two fiscals. Based on its last traded price, though RI appears lucrative, it’s a “High Risk/Low Return” bet. There is no harm in skipping this risky bet.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
