APPROACH TO VALUATION Valuation of the enterprise or its equity shares is not an exact science and ultimately depends upon what it is worth to a serious investor or buyer who may be even prepared to pay goodwill. This exercise may be carried out based on the generally accepted methodologies, the relative emphasis of each often varying with the factors such as; Specific nature of the business Listing and liquidity of the equity Economic life cycle in which the industry or the company Is operating and Extent to which rind comparable company information is available eo cee The results of this exercise could vary significantly depending upon the basis used, the specific circumstances and professional judgment of the valuer. In respect of going concerns, certain valuation techniques have evolved over time and commonly in vogue. In this regard, we have evaluated suitability of five commonly used approaches of valuation to determine the fair value of two companies and used them in our valuation. After arriving at the values based on appropriate methods, we have assigned weights to these methods to determine the fair value of the two companies, The valuation methods identified are Net Asset Value method Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Enterprise value to EBITDA method Market Price method Book Value method 2.1 Net Asset Value Net Asset Value (NAV) method is logically a refined version of book value method in as much as the Net Worth under this method is derived incorporating the current values of assets and liabilities as against the historical values used In the book value method. In order to factor in the fair market value of the land and buildings belonging to both the companies, the latest valuation provided by the chartered engineers has been considered. Ishwar and Gopal Private &Confidentiol Chartered Accountants This method has its genesis in the logic that the value of immovable properties to its owner identical in amount with the current fair market values. 2.2 Discounted Cash Flow(DCF) ‘The DCF method uses the future cash flows of the company discounted by the cost of capital to arrive at the present value. In general, the DCF method is a strong and widely accepted valuation tool, as it concentrates on cash generation potential of a business considering that this method is based on future potential and is widely accepted. We have included this approach as one of the methodologies in the valuation exercise. Es 2 future free cash flows Free cash flows are the expected cash flows to be generated by the Company that is available to all providers of the company's Capital — both debt and equity. Appropriate discount rate to be applied to cash flow ie., the cost of capital This discount rate, which is applied to the free cash flows, should reflect the opportunity cost to all the capital providers (namely share holders and creditors), weighted by their relative contribution to the total capital of the company. The opportunity cost to the equity capital provider equals the rate of return the capital provider expects to earn on the other investments of equivalent risk. To the values so obtained from DCF analysis, the amount of loans has to be adjusted to arrive at the total value available to equity shareholders. The total value for equity shareholders is then divided by the total number of equity shares in order to work out the value per equity share of both companies. Terminal Value The terminal value refers to the present value of the business as a going concern basis beyond the period of projection up to perpetuity. This value is estimated taking into account business growth rates as well as estimated growth rates of the industry and economy. Ishwar and Gopal Private &Confidentiol Chartered Accountants Discount Cash Flow approach has been considered for valuation of both the companies. While calculating Weighted Average Cost of Capital, suitable assumptions have been made. 2.3 Enterprise value to EBITDA method Enterprise value multiples look at market value of the operating assets of the firm and not just the equity invested in them. They provide a broader measure of value that is less affected by financial leverage decision. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization are an approximate measure of cash flow of the operating assets of the firm, prior to taxes and reinvestment needs. Multiples are estimated from the prices of other Companies with characteristics comparable to the Company being valued. These comparables are Companies in the same industry. Multiples are applied to current year earnings in order to obtain the present value of the enterprise of its equity. 2.4 Market price Method The Market Price of any Equity share as quoted on a stock exchange is considered as the fair value of the equity shares of that company. The market price also reflects the investor's view of the ability of the management to deliver a return on the capital it is using. In the case of companies not frequently traded, this value may be very different from the inherent value of the shares, but nevertheless forms a benchmark value, The Equity Shares of SEL & PLL are listed on the BSE and NSE, therefore we use this method to value the price per share of SEL & PLL. This valuation method reflects the price that the market at a point in time is prepared to pay for the shares. It is therefore influenced by the condition of the stock market, the concerns, the opportunities that are seen for the business in the sector or market in which it operates. The Equity Shares of both the companies are actively traded on the stock exchanges. Hence, we have considered daily weighted average price of the past 6 months. 2.5 Book Value Method The book value of a Company is the value of a company's assets expressed on the basis of the balance sheet, It is the difference between the balance sheet assets and balance sheet liabilities. The book value provides investors a way to compare the market value, Ishwar and Gopal Private &Confidential Chartered Accountants or what they are paying for each share, to a conservative measure of the value of the firm. We have considered the book values of both companies, based on nine months results ending 31% December 2015(subject to limited review by the statutory auditor) and material changes / developments that may have taken place after the balance sheet date and also considered the changes in the number of fully paid-up shares, (This Space has been intentionally left blank) Ishwar and Gopal Private &Confidential Chartered Accountants Tl.

Ishwar and Gopat Private & Confidential Chartered Accountants 3.2 Weightages We have attached weights, to the valuations under the different methods, which are as explained below. Since the Net Asset Value (NAV) method provides another method to arrive at intrinsic valuation of the company which considers the fair market valuation of the company's assets, we have attached a weight of 2 to the valuation under Net Asset Value Method. Since the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method is a more scientific basis of valuation and considers the cash generating capability of the company which has an important relevance on the valuation, we have attached a weight of 2 to the valuation under Discounted Cash Flow Method. Enterprise value EBITDA method represents comparable method to value the business. As both the transferor and transferee company belongs to same industry of auto components having regard to similar expected growth and risk, we attached a weight of 2 to the valuation under EV to EBITDA method. Since the shares of both the companies are actively traded on the stock exchange, and the market price is still relevant for the purposes of fair valuation, we have attached a weight of 3 to the valuation under the Market Price Method. Since the companies are currently running their business operations as a going concern, there is no specific need to liquidate the assets of the companies and hence no weight has been attached to the valuation under the Book Value Method.
