  • The total number of shares listed till date as a percentage of total voting capital of the Target Company in Stock Exchange (s) BSE, ASE, MSE and DSE is 54.42%

(a)  The Equity shares of the Target Company are listed at Madras Stock Exchange (MSE), The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE), Delhi Stock Exchange (DSE) and Ahmedabad Stock Exchange (ASE). The Equity Shares of the Target Company are infrequently traded on the above Exchange within the meaning of Regulation 20 of Sub-regulation(5) of the SEBI(SAST) Regulations, 1997. The offer price of Rs. 1.50 (Rupees one and paise fifty only) is payable in cash in terms of Regulation 20(2). The offer price is determined by acquirer and the Merchant banker to the offer in term of regulation 20(5) taking into account the following factors:

 

             i.  The negotiated price under the MOU entered into on 10 January 2003 is Re. 0.45/- (Paise Fourty Five only).

 

             ii. During the twenty six weeks prior to the date of PA there is no acquisition made by the company Calibre Rehabs Ltd. (Acquirer).

 

             iii. Since the Target Company is making losses, Return on Networth (RONW) and Earning per Share (EPS) are negative and the Price Earning Multiple Viz-a-Viz industry average is not applicable.

 

Considering the above, the offer price of Rs.1.50 (Rupees One and Paise Fifty Only ) is arrived at in consultation with the Manager to the Offer.

 

Basis of Justification of Offer Price ( Rs. 1.50 ) Under the erstwhile Controller of Capital Issues (CCI) Formula

The offer price of Rs. 1.50 (Rupees One and Paise Fifty Only ) is arrived at after considering a number of feasible valuation approaches including the Guidelines of erstwhile Controller of Capital Issues(CCI)which are elaborated below:

  1. Net Assets Value (NAV)

    The latest Audited Balance Sheet available is for the year ending 30th Sept 2002 the NAV of Saptarishi Agro Industries Ltd. is estimated to be Rs. 3.51.

  2. Profit Earning Capacity Value (PECV)

    Saptarishi Agro Industries Ltd. has incurred losses in the last 2 years of operation and as per the CCI guidelines , the PECV is Nil

  3. As per the CCI Guidelines where PECV is Nil, the fair value is assessed to be 50% of the NAV , i.e Rs. 1.75

  4. Considering, the Supreme Court decision in the Hindustan Lever Employee Union Vs. Hindustan Lever Ltd., ( 1995) 83 Com Case 30, Wherein Honorable Court had opined that the fair value for a listed company could be assessed based on the following weightages :

(a) Market Based value :2 (b) Earnings Based value : 2 (c) Net Assets Value :1

Given the NAV of Rs. 3.51 , The average market price for the last 26 weeks - Nil and PECV of Nil as assessed above, if one were to apply this approach, the share price would be in the region of Re. 0.70 paise per shares.
