PREFACE:

While FPO of Rs. 150 cr. (approx. 7143000 shares at the upper cap or 7500000 shares at the lower cap) is scheduled between July 22, 2024 and July 24, 2024 and has a price band of Rs. 200 - Rs.  210 per share of Rs. 2 each and a RI of Rs.300 cr. with a fixed price of Rs. 200 per share of Rs. 2 each. For FPO, the minimum lot of application will be 500 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. And RI is issued in the ratio of 1 share for every 1 share held as of the record date of July 09, 2024. Time line for RI is from July 15, 2024 to July 22, 2024. Thus the FPO opens on the closure day of RI. For both this issues, the market lot is kept at 500 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. 

The company came with its maiden IPO of Rs. 24.75 cr. at a price of Rs. 52 - Rs. 55 per share of Rs. 2 each in the month of November 2023. For the IPO, the market maker was R K Stock Holding Pvt. Ltd., while for this composite issue, the market maker is Asit C Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd.

ABOUT COMPANY:
SAR Televenture Ltd. (STL) is engaged in telecommunication solutions related services. As of May 31, 2024, it had 413 towers installation in operation. Its tower installation posted inconsistency with 108 towers installations in FY22, 140 installations in FY23 and only 40 installations in FY24.

On January 03, 2023, the Company has entered into share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and paid-up equity share capital of SAR Televentures F.Z.E, United Arab Emirates (formerly known as Shoora International -F.Z.E) from Shoora Capital Limited. Its subsidiary is currently engaged in the business of laying and installation of fiber cables and trading of network equipment. As part of its strategy, STL intends to enter the business vertical of installing Fiber to the Home (FTTH), which is a broadband internet connection technology that uses optical fiber to deliver high speed broadband internet directly to households.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, since the date of the last financial statements disclosed in this Offer Document, there have not arisen any circumstance that materially or adversely affect or are likely to affect the business activities or profitability of the Company or the value of its assets or its ability to pay its material liabilities within the next twelve months.

Its business operations, services, revenue, and performances are directly related to the performance of the Indian wireless telecommunication industry and FTTH services and is therefore affected by factors that generally affect and drive that industry. The wireless telecommunications and the FTTH industry is sensitive to factors such as consumer demand and wireless telecommunications service providers' debt levels and other obligations and general economic conditions. In addition, the Indian telecommunications industry may face policy changes in response to recent industry developments
and change in regulation. In the event of a decrease or stagnation in demand for wireless telecommunications services in India, any developments that make the provision of tower infrastructure or FTTH service less economically beneficial, the company may experience a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

According to the management, its debt equity ratio of 2.48 as of March 31, 2024, will get drastically reduced post-RI, as borrowings from promoters will get adjusted against their rights entitlement. 

ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with a Rights Issue (RI) of 15000000 equity shares of Rs. 2 each at a fixed price of Rs. 200 per share to mobilize Rs. 300 cr. The RI opens for subscription on July 15, 2024, and will close on July 22, 2024. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 1 for 1 to its eligible stakeholders as of the record date of July 03, 2024. The full amount is to be paid on application for the number of shares applied. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. From the Rs. 450 cr. overall issue net proceeds, the company will utilize Rs. 273.00 cr. for FTTH network solutions for 3 lakh home passes, Rs. 42.50 cr. for additional 4G/5G towers, Rs. 30.00 cr. for working capital and the rest for general corporate purposes.

Post-RI, its current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 3.00 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 6.00 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 600 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has (on a consolidated basis) posted a total income/net profit of Rs. 4.75 cr. / Rs. 0.04 cr. (FY22), Rs. 32.52 cr. / Rs. 3.94 cr. (FY23), and Rs. 124.17 cr. / Rs. 15.66 cr. (FY24). The sudden boost in its top and bottom lines in a pre-issue year raise eyebrows and concern over its sustainability going forward. 

Post planned expansion going on stream, the company hopes to outperform and is confident of posting better numbers in coming years.

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared any dividends for the reported periods of the offer document. It has already adopted a prudent dividend policy in July 2023, based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON NSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: SARTELE (FV Rs. 2).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 272.05 on July 08, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 237.00 on July 09, 2024. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 260.80 / Rs. 236.00. The scrip last closed at Rs. 242.45 as of July 11, 2023. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 288.74 / Rs. 78.52. 

The promoters' holding has been constant at 66.26% for the last three quarters ended with March 31, 2024. The counter is well managed above the RI price to tempt investors. 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is engaged in telecommunication solution related services and has posted growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. With the planned additional capacities going operational in coming years, the company is poised to scale up its performance. It has renowned customers i.e. Airtel, Jio, Vodafone and BSNL. Though the RI pricing is at a discount of around 20% considering its last traded price, based on FY24 earnings, the issue appears aggressively priced. Well-informed investors may plan investment for the medium to long term.
