The scope of services is to conduct the valuation of Equity Shares to determine the fair value in accord-
ance with internationally accepted valuation standards/ICMAI Valuation Standards for the limited pur-
pose of compliance under the Companies Act, 2013 and may not be used for any other purpose. Even
though the Fair value proposed here is said to true and fair as per underlying guidelines of valuation but
the valuation done here is not in accordance with rule 11UA of Income tax rules and it may be relied upon
in any such Income tax matters with required modification as per said rules.

of business hours of 31st May, 2023.
4. Capital structure:
The authorised share capital of ACAPL as on 31.05.2023 is 40,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each
aggregating to Rs. 4,00,00,00,000 and Issued, subscribed and paid up share capital as on date is Rs.
2,70,55,93,310.
5. Sources of Information:
For the purpose of arriving at the Valuation, we have essentially relied on the information provided to us
by the Management which we believe to be reliable and our conclusions are dependent on such infor-
mation being complete and accurate in all material respect.
In particular, we were provided with the following information by the management for the purpose of our
value analysis:
In addition to the above, we have also obtained explanations and other information as considered neces-
sary by us for our exercise from the management of Company.
6. Valuation Methods:
Commonly used valuation methodologies are as follows:
Each method proceeds on different fundamental assumptions which have a greater or lesser relevance
and at times no relevance, to a given situation. Thus, the methods to be adopted for a particular valuation
exercise must be judiciously chosen.
In other words, the genesis of the method of valuation lies in the total assets that the Company owns. The
values of intangibles are excluded. Loan funds are deducted. The diminution, if any, in the value of assets,
not reflected in the accounts is deducted. Contingent liabilities, to the extent, that they impair the net
worth of the Company, are also deducted. The resultant figure represents the net worth of the Company
on the given day.
This model allows one to adjust it to the characteristics that are applicable to the company one is analyz-
ing. The model is applied for analyzing a company on the basis of its historical performances and the per-
formance forecasted on which one applies the continuing (perpetuity) formula.
This valuation method based on free cash flow is considered a strong tool because it concentrates on cash
generation potential of a business. This valuation method uses the future free cash flow of the company
(after meeting all the liabilities) discounted by the firm's weighted average cost of capital (the average
cost of all the capital used in the business, including debt and equity), plus a risk factor measured by Beta.
The objective of the organization is to create wealth using existing and future resources. To create wealth,
present value of future cash inflows must exceed the present value of future cash outflows. The present
value of net inflows over the period gives valuation of the organization and after deducting liabilities if
any, the valuation attributable to the shareholders can be obtained.
Under this method cost of operations and returns from the project for a considerable period in future
should be estimated. This method requires data regarding cash flow from the business. This implies that
cost of operations and returns from the project for a considerable period in future should be estimated.
8. Valuation:
A. DCF Method:
The Management has provided us the financial projections for the period starting FY 2023-24 to FY 2028-
29. Based on the assumptions and business plans provided by the management, the ACAPL is valued on
Discounted Cash Flow basis. The Value per share of ACAPL is computed by dividing the outstanding num-
ber of shares from the Net Enterprise Value. The said Net Enterprise Value is computed by adding cash
and cash equivalents and subtracting the Debt as on 31 st May, 2023 from the Enterprise Value. The said
Enterprise value is derived by adding present value of free cash flows and perpetuity value.
The value per Share of Akara Capital Advisors Private Limited as per Discounted Cash Flow Meth-
od is as under (Detailed workings are attached as Annexure A to this report):
Particulars Amount
Present value for explicit period 1,642,152,514
Present value of perpetuity 12,077,431,173
Enterprise value 13,719,583,687
Add: Cash and Cash equivalent 645,105,158
Adjusted Enterprise value 14,364,688,845
Less: Long Term Debts 5,952,029,368
Enterprise value for equity shareholder 8,412,659,477
Less: Discount for Lack of Marketability 2,944,430,817
Adjusted Enterprise value for equity Shareholder 5,468,228,660
No. of Shares (in Nos.) 270,559,331
Value Per Share(Diluted) (INR) 20.21
Value Per Share (INR)(Round off)(Diluted) 20.00
Thus, in the given case, the fair value per share of ACAPL as per DCF method is Rs. 20.00/-per share.

Annexure – 1
Earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization as per the projections have been con-
sidered as per the information and explanations provided by the management of the Company. While
arriving at the projections of FY 2023-24 and FY 2028-29 the various revenue and expense items are
considered on conservative basis.
Estimated tax liability is been considered as per the projections provided by the management and has
been reduced to arrive at the free cash flows from the business.
Fund requirements for incremental working capital and capital expenditure as per the information
provided by the Management; have been reduced from the cash earnings of the respective years so as
to arrive at free cash flow.
The cash flows of each year are then discounted at the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
WACC is considered as the most appropriate discount rate in the DCF Method, since it reflects both
the business and financial risk of the Company.
In the given case, Weighted Average Cost of Capital (‘WACC’) has been determined by us as follows:
Calculation of WACC Remarks
Particular Amount Weight Interest Rate Cost
Tax Rate 25.17%
Secured Loan 5952029368 0.68749 9.35% 7% Based on the current borrowing rate (as informed to us) by the management
Market Expectation on
Equity Share 13.61%
For the purpose of determining Risk free rate, yield on 10 years Government of India Securi-
ties/Papers (10 Year GS) has been considered i.e. 7.26%. ( Source - India 10 Years Bond - Historical
Data (worldgovernmentbonds.com))
We have considered global beta of 1 since we don’t find any exact comparable companies.
The long-term growth rate in developing countries is usually in the range of 3% to 6% for traditional
businesses. The terminal growth rate is an approximation that reflects the ongoing growth potential
of the company's cash flows, which is essentially dependent on factors such as historic growth rates,
industry dynamics factors and macroeconomic factors like long term GDP growth and the inflation
factors. Thus, we have considered the terminal growth as 3.00%.
After explicit period, the business will continue to generate cash. In DCF Method, therefore, perpetuity
value is also considered to arrive at the enterprise value. For arriving at the perpetuity value, we have
considered the expected growth rate as 3.00% (as explained above) and weighted average cost of capital
as 15.31%.
v) Enterprise value:
The discounted perpetuity value is added to the discounted cash flows for the explicit period to arrive at
the enterprise value. Appropriate adjustments have been made of cash and cash equivalents and debt to
arrive at the Gross equity value. The value of cash and cash equivalents and debt represents the value as
on 31st May, 2023.
The Net equity value so arrived above is divided by the outstanding number of equity shares to arrive at
the value per share.
