The existing shares of the company are listed on Calcutta, Gauhati and Ahmedabad exchanges but are not traded. Post issue, it would also list on Mumbai Stock Exchange.

The company, inspite of being into existence for the last over 15 years, has a very high debt equity ratio. Now, the company is implementing an expansion cum diversification plan of Rs.53.70 crores, which looks quite ambitious, considering the present level of operations of the company. This is being financed with rights issue of Rs.12.63 crores, proposed issue of Rs.23.07 crores and term loan of Rs.18 crores. This means of financing would bring down debt equity ratio to less than 1 to about 0.85 : 1. Since the promoters of the company are well versed and expansion likely to commence by June 08, makes the issue attractive. Post issue equity of Rs.13.55 crores would get adequately serviced form the enlarged level of activities. In this aggressively priced issue IPO market, this is a good issue, where investment is recommended.
