Analysis of Financials:
The following is the summary Statement of Profit and Loss and Statement of Assets and Liabilities as per the Red Herring Prospectus filed with NSE:

 
 

A look at the Balance Sheet would unlock that the company's Equity Share Capital has increased from Rs.85.83 Lakhs for the year ended FY10 to Rs.1500 Lakhs for the year ended FY11, while at the same time the Reserves and Surpluses have reduced from Rs.965.16 Lakhs in FY10 to Rs.112 Lakhs in FY11. It sounds astonishing when companies ask for a premium of Rs.170/- to Rs.176/- on the Face Value, which translates to a post issue premium of Rs.45 Crores when the company has barely Rs.1.12 Crores in the reserve as per the latest audited accounts

M and B has glaring negative cash flows from operations to the tune of Rs.161.95 in FY09 and Rs.444.29 in FY10. Besides, in last three years the company's average return on net worth has been at around 6.4%, which can be considered low. A look at the listed peers may clearly provide quality alternatives at much reasonable prices in the listed space
