Evaluating the acquisition price per share of LCC Infotech Limited Subject:

Dear Sir,

To,

We understand that "Mrs. Kirti Lakhotia" resident of Flat No 3001, Floor - 30th, Tower - 3, Urbana NRI Complex, 783 Anandpur, Kolkata - 700107, India (hereinafter referred to as "Promoter & Managing Director") is one of the Promoter of LCC Infotech Limited (hereinafter referred as "Target Company") wants to deal in inter-se transfer of shares of the Target Company amongst the qualifying persons so as to avail exemption as provided under Regulation 10(1)(a) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011, as amended from time to time, (hereinafter referred as "SEBI (SAST), 2011"), subject to terms and conditions as provided therein and for that purpose the Mrs. Kirti Lakhotia has appointed CapitalSquare Advisors Private Limited, a SEBI registered category I Merchant Banker (hereinafter referred as "CSAPL" or "Merchant Banker") for evaluating the acquisition price per equity shares under the provisions of clause (e) of sub regulation 2 of regulation 8 of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 (hereinafter referred to as the "Transaction").

Purpose and Scope

Based on our discussions with Mrs. Kirti Lakhotia, we understand that Mrs. Kirti Lakhotia intends to deal in interse transfer of shares of the Target Company amongst the qualifying persons so as to avail exemption as provided under Regulation 10(1)(a) of SEBI (SAST), 2011. The certificate is intended to be used solely for above mentioned purpose.

The certificate has been prepared exclusively for specified purposes as mentioned above and hence should not be used for any other purpose, without obtaining the prior written consent from CSAPL. This opinion should not be considered, in whole or in part, as investment advice by anyone.

Summary of Findings

Based on our Valuation analysis, it is found that the Equity Shares of Target Company are listed on BSE Limited ("BSE") and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited ("NSE") and are suspended for trading as on date. Further, the NSE and BSE has issued circulars dated March 23, 2021 for revocation of suspension and resuming of trading on NSE and BSE w.e.f. March 31, 2021. Thus, as on date the equity shares of the Company are not frequently traded on BSE and NSE within the meaning of Regulation 2(1)(j) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 ("SEBI (SAST) Regulations"). The Acquisition Price for the proposed inter-se transfer of equity shares between Mrs. Kirti Lakhotia, Mr. Sidharth Lakhotia, Mr. Pratik Lakhotia and Mr. Prashant Lakhotia ("Promoters of the Target Company") has been determined by CSAPL after taking into account the parameters as set out alrear Regulation 8(2)(e) of SEBI

CAPITAL SQUARE ADVISORS PRIV IMITED

(SAST) Regulations, 2011, which are as under:

Net Assets Method

This method determines the worth of a business by the assets it possesses. It involves examining every asset held by the company, both tangible and intangible. The value of intangibles is referred to as the company's goodwill, the difference in value between the company's hard assets and its true value.

The value arrived at under this approach is based on the financial statements of the business and may be defined as Shareholders' Funds or Net Assets owned by the business. The Net Asset Value (NAV) is generally used as the minimum break-up value for the transaction since this methodology ignores the future return the assets can produce and is calculated using historical accounting data that does not reflect how much the business is worth to someone who may buy it as a going concern. Pursuant to accounting convention, most assets are reported on the books of the subject company at their acquisition value, net of depreciation where applicable. These values must be adjusted to fair value wherever possible. Further, the balance sheet values are to be adjusted for any contingent liabilities that are likely to materialize or doubtful assets.

As per NAV method, after giving a discount of 20% considered appropriate as the Company is recording losses during the last 8 years continuously, we have derived Value of each equity share of Target Company based on the Audited Financial Statement for the year ended March 31, 2020 is Rs.3.72/- (Rupees Three and Seventy-two Paisa) per share. (Detailed working is attached as annexure herewith)

The yield method (Price Earning Capacity value/PECV)

Since, the Target Company has incurred losses in preceding three financial years; therefore we have not considered the Income Approach method for determining fair value.

The Market Value Method:

Since, the Target Company has incurred losses in preceding three financial years and the equity shares of the Company are under suspension as on date; therefore we have not considered the Market Value Method for determining fair value.

FAIR VALUE:

Considering the Supreme Court's Decision in the case of Hindustan Lever Employees Union Vs. Hindustan Lever Limited (1995) reported at (83 Company Cases 30) wherein the Apex Court has opined that under certain circumstances the fair value of a Company could be assessed based on weights, we have assigned the following weights for the purpose of computing the Fair Value:

CAPITAL SQUARE ADVISORS PRIVATE LIMITED

Particulars Price pershares Weight Value per 0FairEquity Share(In INR)
NAV Method 3.72 1.00
Comparable Company MultipleMethod NotApplicable NotApplicable 3.72
PECV Method NotApplicable NotApplicable

We are of the opinion that based on the information as referred to hereinabove, the fair value of each equity shares of LCC Infotech Limited in terms of the Hon'ble Supreme Court's decision in the Hindustan Lever Employees' Union vs. Hindustan Lever Limited (1995) reported at (83 Companies Cases 30), is Rs. 3.72 (Rupees Three and Seventy-two Paisa) per share.

Conclusion:

Based on our above analysis, we are of the opinion that the fair value of each equity share of Target Company for the proposed inter-se transfer of equity shares between immediate relatives belonging to qualifying promoters is Rs.3.72 (Rupees Three and Seventy-two Paisa) per share.

Note: As per proviso of clause (a) of sub-regulation 1 of regulation 10 of SEBI SAST 2011, the acquisition price shall not be higher by more than twenty-five percent of the price determined in terms of clause (e) of sub-regulation (2) of regulation 8. Therefore, Acquisition price cannot be more than 25% of Rs. 3.72 (Rupees Three and Seventy-two Paisa) per share.
