Basing on the published figures up to October 2012, the company may report an after tax profit of Rs 30Cr, which gives an EPS around Rs 8 for FY 13. The profit reported for FY 12 is not to be taken seriously for two reasons. One, IPO was planned for June 2012, due to various reasons it did not materialize.
