APPROACH - BASIS OF MERGER

The Proposed Scheme of Amalgamation contemplates the merger of JMH and Ebell into Lux. Arriving at the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of JMH and Ebell into Lux would require determining the relative value of the equity shares of Lux, JMH and Ebell. These values are to be determined independently, but on a relative basis for the Companies.

There are several commonly used and accepted methods for determining the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of JMH and Ebell into Lux, which have been considered in the present case, to the extent relevant and applicable, and subject to availability of information. including:

    1. Market Price method
    1. Comparable Companies Multiples method
    1. Discounted Cash Flows method
    1. Net Asset Value method

It should be understood that the valuation of any company or its assets is inherently subjective and is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. In performing our analysis, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Companies. In addition, this valuation will fluctuate with changes in prevailing market conditions, the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Companies, and other factors which generally influence the valuation of the Companies and their assets.

The application of any particular method of valuation depends on the purpose for which the valuation is done. Although different values may exist for different purposes, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that a valuer can only arrive at one value for one purpose. Our choice of methodology of valuation has been arrived at using usual and conventional methodologies adopted for transactions of a similar nature and our reasonable judgment, in an independent and bona fide manner based on our previous experience of assignments of a similar nature.

Market Price Method

The market price of an equity share as quoted on a stock exchange, where the shares regularly and freely traded in, is normally considered as the value of the equity shares of that company. Further, in the case of a merger, where there is a question of evaluating the shares of one company against those of another, the volume of transactions and the number of shares available for trading on the stock exchange over a reasonable period would have to be of a comparable standard.

In the present case, the equity shares of Lux are listed on BSE and NSE. Lux's equity shares recorded the highest trading volume on NSE. Accordingly, the share price of Lux as observed on NSE have been considered for arriving at the value per share of Lux under the market price method.

Comparable Companies' Multiple ("CCM") method

Under this method, value of equity shares of a company is arrived at by using multiples derived from valuations of comparable companies, as manifest through stock market valuations of listed companies and transactions in unlisted companies. This valuation is based on the principle that market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation.

Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the circumstances.

We have considered Enterprise value to Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EV/EBITDA) multiple of the comparable listed companies for the purpose of our valuation.

The total equity value is then divided by the total number equity shares for arriving at the value per equity share of the Companies under CCM method.

Discounted Cash Flows ("DCF") Method

Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the equity shareholders are discounted at the cost of equity. The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the firm.

Using the DCF analysis involves determining the following:

Estimating future free cash flows:

Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company that are available to the providers of the company's equity capital.

Appropriate discount rate to be applied to cash flows i.e. the cost of equity:

This discount rate, which is applied to the free cash flows, should reflect the opportunity cost to the equity capital providers (namely equity shareholders). The opportunity cost to the equity capital provider equals the rate of return the equity capital provider expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

We have not used DCF method as the Management has not provided us with the financial projections.

Chartered Accountants

Report on recommendation of fair exchange ratio for the proposed merger of J. M. Hosiery & Co Limited and Ebell Fashions Private Limited into Lux Industries Limited

Net Asset Value ("NAV") Method

The asset based valuation technique is based on the value of the underlying net assets of the business, either on a book value basis or realizable value basis or replacement cost basis. This valuation approach may be used in cases where the assets base dominates the earnings capability. A scheme of amalgamation would normally be proceeded with, on the assumption that the companies amalgamate as going concerns and an actual realization of the operating assets is not contemplated.

We have not used NAV method as it does not capture the earning capacity of the business and hence NAV would not be representative of fair value.

MAJOR FACTORS THAT WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT DURING THE VALUATION

  • The equity shares of Lux are frequently traded on both the stock exchanges, BSE & NSE $\bullet$ in India.
  • $\bullet$ Key operating / financial parameters of the Companies vis-à-vis its comparable companies.

BASIS OF FAIR EXCHANGE RATIO

The basis of the merger of JMH and Ebell into Lux would have to be determined after taking into consideration all the factors and methods mentioned hereinabove. Though different values have been arrived at under each of the above methods, for the purposes of recommending the recommending the fair exchange ratio of equity shares it is necessary to arrive at a final value for each of the Companies' shares. It is however important to note that in doing so, we are not attempting to arrive at the absolute equity values of the Companies, but at their relative values to facilitate the determination of the fair exchange ratio. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weights to the values arrived at under each approaches / methods.

The fair exchange ratio has been arrived at on the basis of a relative equity valuation of the Companies based on the various approaches / methods explained herein earlier and various qualitative factors relevant to each company and the business dynamics and growth potentials of the businesses of the Companies, having regard to information base, key underlying assumptions and limitations.

We have independently applied methods discussed above, as considered appropriate, and arrived at their assessment of value per share of Lux, JMH and Ebell.

Working Note 2 - Valuation of JMH as per CCM Method

Notes:

Discount to the multiple is based on various qualitative/quantitative factors including size and performance / financial $\mathbf{1}$ . parameters of JMH vis-à-vis comparable companies, Illiquidity of the equity shares of JMH etc

Valuation is basis that Biswanath Hosiery Mills Limited ("BHML") has granted a license to JMH to use all the brands (except brand "Target" which is owned by JMH), which are currently used for manufacturing and/or marketing of all the products of JMH, exclusively on non-revocable basis for a period of 20 years (from 26 June 2018 to 25 June 2038) at a royalty of INR 200,000/- p.a.

We have selected the listed comparable companies based on the following parameters: $\bullet$

  • Listed comparable companies from CapitalIQ which are classified under "Apparel" and "Apparel Retail"
  • o Market capitalisation greater than or equal to INR 1,000.0 mn
  • Sufficiency of trading volumes $\Omega$
  • $\circ$ Business description considering companies which are mainly engaged in manufacturing and selling of men's innerwear in India
  • o Excluded companies with outlier multiples
  • The Enterprise value ("EV") of listed comparable companies has been computed by adding $\bullet$ the market capitalization of the company and the debt (net of investments, cash and bank balance, capital work in progress, minority interest and 50% of net deferred tax assets). The market capitalization is computed by considering the volume weighted average share prices of two weeks ended 22 June 2018 on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited ("BSE") or National Stock Exchange of India Limited ("NSE") wherever the average volumes are higher. The debt as stated in the latest annual report of the respective company has been considered. There is small room for unavoidable discrepancy in computation of EV due to the above-mentioned figures as of different dates.
