Reasons to invest Shri Krishna Prasadam IPO
- Good revenue growth in last two years. Revenues increased from Rs 25.70 Lakhs from last year to Rs 169 Lakhs in 10 months of this financial year.
Reasons not to invest in an Shri Krishna Prasadam IPO
- Profits are very thin. It earned Rs 10,986 in the last financial year (FY 2012-13) on a turnover of Rs 25.70 Lakhs. These can be easily wiped out with a small increase in costs.
- SME IPO’s are trading in low volumes. Liquidity could be an issue.

Recommendation / Investment strategy:
- Average EPS for the last 3 years is Rs 0.15 At issue price of Rs 10, this translates to a P/E ratio of 65. Based on last financial year 2012-13 EPS of Rs 0.01, P/E ratio works out to be 1,000. Even 10 months EPS for FY 2013-14 EPS shows 0.29 which translates the P/E ratio of 34. Its competitors like Eco Friendly Foods P/E ratio is 260.81 and Lakshmi Energy and Foods P/E ratio is 2 with average in this segment of 10.4. Since company cannot issue shares below this issue price of Rs 10, investors might get tempted to buy at this rate. However, at a P/E ratio of 1,000 based on last financial year data looks very expensive.
- Though company revenues are growing, considering thin margins and high issue price, my suggestion to investors is to stay away from such SME IPO.

Shri Krishna Prasadam IPO
Hi Suresh,
Is it possible to get the financial details of any SME which is not listed on BSE/NSE via any mechanism?? Actually, I want to know the financial status of my uncle's company via an indirect manner. Please give me suggestion on the same.
Truly speaking, I will be really thankful, if you can sought some mechanism as my uncle & other directors brag a lot related to the financials of his company & I feel that they are incurring loss instead of making huge sum of money.
Hi Mohit, As per my knowledge there is no database to get the financials of unlisted companies in India. I tried googling for some time, but could not get any clue on this.
Yes, there is.Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss can be easily gathered from MCA
Thanks Akash. That was a nice tip.
@Akash: What is the procedure to access balance sheet of the company?? Currenlty, I am able to access only master data of the company but how to access the balance sheet?
@Suresh: Thanks for searching info. related to the same on Google.
You have to Pay MCA fees for that. then u can acess data and download forms.
Thanks Akash! I went thru the website of MCA & got all information regarding the same. One last question, if I pay the fee to MCA & download the info. related to the financials of the company, will my uncle come to know about the same thru MCA that someone had requested for the financials of his company?? If yes, what information will he get regarding who had accessed the data. Will MCA share the Name of the person to him or what was the name on Credit Card/Net Banking Account or any other indirect details from where he can find out the person who had accessed the data??
It's a lot important for me to hide my identity while accessing the data of his company & at no cost, the same should be revealed to him.
No, I do this all the time.
Thanks Akash for the valuable information.
Welcome. Glad to Help You.
Nice review. liked it.
Thanks for the recommendations.
