BCCL invested through subscription of warrants in March’09. The warrants were converted into equity shares last month making the deal worth Rs.15 Cr that gave BCCL 23.96% stake at Rs.14 per share.
Originally, Yash Birla Group had entered into an equal JV with Pacific Healthcare Holdings (one of East Asia’s leading healthcare providers with facilities in Singapore, Hong Kong and China) and Dr. Desai, to form Birla Pacific Medspa.
It had proposed to enter into various healthcare services business besides manufacturing soaps and other related consumables though it never actually started the production of such products.
The idea was to leverage Pacific's experience and backing of Yash Birla groupto grow business in an area that is largely dominated by unorganised sector players.
However, the JV came unstuck early this year after Pacific' stake got diluted, but decided to support the company as a minority shareholder. Pacific Healthcare has also decided not to enter into any competitive business with Birla Pacific Medspa.
This year in May, it was planning to raise funds through PE or VC route for its expansion plans, but no development has been made till date.
Birla Pacific reported a loss of Rs.3.28 Cr for the period of six months ended on March 31, 2010 and had a total income of Rs.1.56 Cr.
