• In case of a merger valuation, the emphasis is on arriving at the relative values of the shares of the merging companies to facilitate determination of the swap ratio, hence, the purpose is not to arrive at absolute values of the shares of the companies. The key issue to be addressed is that of fairness to all shareholders. There are established legal precedence for merger valuation methodologies:
• Valuer’s role is to incorporate case specific factors and use appropriate methodologies so as to determine a fair ratio
• Usually, best to give weight ages to valuation by all methods
• Market price method and Earnings methods dominate.
• It is observed that in case of M&A, the Valuations depart from the concept of “Fair Value” as elements like Distress Sale, Desperate Buy, Comparable Transaction Multiples come into play reflecting Price than Value.

Understanding Purpose of Valuation
21. Information requisition depends upon -
• Nature of the valuation engagement
• Scope of the valuation engagement
• Valuation date
• Intended use of the valuation
• Applicable standard and premise of value
• Assumptions and limiting conditions; and
• Applicable laws, regulations and professional standards
Such information includes:
Non-financial information (Promoters, Management, Products, Industry, Competition, Strategy)
Shareholders information (Equity Shares v. Preferred Shares, Minority v. Control)
Financial information (Historical Annual Reports, Future Projections, Non Operating Assets)
Information requisition from Company
22. Analysis of the past financial performance of a company is necessary for forecasting its future performance.
Besides financial statements, the annual report of a company includes a lot of information considered
important for analysis of the company. This includes -
• Management discussion and analysis report (MDA)
• Independent auditor’s report
• Accounting policies and disclosures
• Related party transactions
• Segment reporting and
• other aspects.
Closely held companies require significant adjustments to estimate the normalised earnings of the company
(Related party transactions)
The non-recurring and non-operating items also need segregation from the financial statements
Financial Analysis and Normalisation Adjustments
23. Knowledge of industry is necessary and essential for preparation and review of financial forecasts of any company
Different Industries have different risk and return characteristics and competitive advantages
Basic economic factors— supply and demand—provide a fundamental framework for understanding an industry.
While forecasting, past data does provide a basis. However, newer technology and changing government regulations
have an impact on changing the business models of companies, significantly.
Understanding basis of classification of industries is important
- The National Industrial Classification, 2008 (NIC) in India based on the United Nations International Standard
Industrial Classification (ISIC) - economic activity wise data
- Internationally, for industry classification reliance is given upon Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS)
developed by Standard & Poor’s and Morgan Stanley - The GICS combines the companies in a sector, industry
group, industry and sub-industry based on the principal product and services of the companies and their revenue
contribution.
- The Industry classification of BSE can be referred to. Databases like Capitaline, Capital IQ, Damodaran provide
useful insights.
Understanding Industry Characteristics and Trends
24. Industry and competitive analysis, together with an analysis of the company’s financial performance, provide a
basis for forecasting performance. Forecasts of sales, expenses, profits (EBIT, EBITDA and PAT), capex and working
capital provide the inputs for most valuation models.
IT IS THE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY OF A COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT TO MAKE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS OF
ITS BUSINESS. THE ROLE OF A VALUER IS TO REVIEW THESE PROJECTIONS FOR REASONABLENESS.
Guidance under IVS on reasonableness of Assumptions and information received from Management
As required by IVS 105 Valuation Approaches and Methods, para 10.7, a valuer must assess the reasonableness
of information received from management, representatives of management or other experts and evaluate
whether it is appropriate to rely on that information for the valuation purpose.
Guidance under IVS on Investigations and Compliance
As per IVS 102 (Para 20.2), Sufficient evidence must be assembled by means such as inspection, inquiry,
computation and analysis to ensure that the valuation is properly supported, adequate for the purpose of the
valuation.
Forecasting and Validating Company Performance
26. Choice of Valuation
approaches
In General, for Business Valuation on going concern basis, Income Approach is
preferred;
The dominance of profits for valuation of share was emphasised in “McCathies
case” (Taxation, 69 CLR 1) where it was said that “the real value of shares in a
company will depend more on the profits which the company has been making and
should be capable of making, having regard to the nature of its business, than upon
the amount which the shares would realise on liquidation”.
This was also re-iterated by the Indian Courts in Commissioner of Wealth Tax v.
Mahadeo Jalan’s case (S.C.) (86 ITR 621) and Additional Commissioner of Gift Tax v.
Kusumben D. Mahadevia (S.C.) (122 ITR 38).
However, Asset Approach is preferred in case of Asset heavy companies and on
liquidation; The liquidated value of the Net Assets is also considered the minimum
value of the whole company and will prevail even if Earning capacity is low or
negative subject to any discounting in appropriate circumstances (like Reluctance
to wind up, Ability to control, Tax adjustments etc.)
Market Approach is preferred in case of listed entity and also to evaluate the value
of unlisted company by comparing it with its peers;
In selecting a model, data availability and
quality/accuracy of data can be limiting
factors and require suitable adjustments
considering industry trends and valuer’s
experience.

28. Discounts and Premiums come into picture when there exists difference between the subject being valued and the methodologies applied. As this can
translate control value to non-control and vice-versa, so these should be judiciously applied.
Discount at Company Level
The company level discounts affect the equity value of the company and are applied before any apportionment is made to the shareholders. Major
types of company level discounts include the following:
• Key Person Discount
• Discount for Contingent Liabilities
• Diversified Company Discount
• Holding Company Discount
• Liquidation Discount (Tax Payout on Appreciation of Assets)
Discounts and Premium at Shareholder Level
The shareholder level discounts affect the value of specific shareholders and are applied after distribution of the equity value to the respective
shareholders. Major types of shareholder level discounts include the following:
• Discount for Lack of Control (DLOC)
• Discount for Lack of Marketability (DLOM)
• Control Premium

29. Non Operating Assets
Operating Assets
• Assets used in the operation of the business including working capital, Property, Plant & Equipment & Intangible assets
• Valuing of operating assets is generally reflected in the cash flow generated by the business
Non - Operating Assets
• Assets not used in the operations including excess cash balances, and assets held for investment purposes, such as vacant land & Securities (which
are not generating any operational income) are the non-operating assets.
• Investors generally do not give much value to such assets and Structure modification may be necessary
Treatment of Non-operating Assets
The value of such non-operating asset should be added separately to arrive at the enterprise value.

31. Judicial
Pronouncements
(Valuation Case Laws)
Over the years, the courts in India have decided on various issues of
valuation but more so on the macro and logical aspects. So far, India
has not seen much of technical deliberations at court level and the
courts generally do not intervene in the valuation process if it is
done by experts and specifically when a well-defined process has
been followed.
Nonetheless, there have been cases wherein courts have accepted
the preference given to one approach compared to others. Like for
valuing a company undergoing concern assumption, in general
income and market approaches are preferred over the asset
approach. However, for valuing a holding company or a company
under liquidation, asset approach is preferred.
Recently, the Income Tax officers have started questioning the
achievement of projections, choice of a particular valuation
methodology for shares and basis for selection of comparable
based on the functions, assets and risks involved.
32. Valuation Case Laws
ROLE OF COURT
Miheer H. Mafatlal v Mafatlal Industries Ltd. AIR 1997 SC 506 : (1997) 1 SCC 579
In this case, it was held that if exchange ratio has been calculated by a recognised
firm of chartered accountants who are expert in field of valuation and the same
has not been objected by majority shareholders, it is not for the court to
substitute its exchange ratio. Thus, the appeal by minority shareholders for
unreasonable exchange ratio failed and was dismissed.
Brooke Bond Lipton India Ltd v Unknown (1999) 98 CompCas 496 (Cal)
In this case, it was held that if the ratio of exchange has been fixed by an
experienced and reputed firm of chartered accountants, then in the absence of
any charge of fraud against them the court will accept such valuation and ratio of
exchange. A mere allegation of fraud is not enough; it must be a proper charge of
fraud with full particulars. In the instant case, there is no charge made or
established.
Dinesh Vrajlal Lakhani v Parke Davis (India) Ltd. 2003 (4) ALL MR 496
It was held that while considering a Scheme of Amalgamation, the Court does not
exercise an appellate jurisdiction, but a jurisdiction founded on fairness. The Court
would not interfere with the swap ratio adopted on the advice of an expert unless
it was contrary to law. The Learned Judge held that it was not the case before him
that the swap ratio was contrary to law or that the experts who submitted the
valuation report were not independent. The objections were overruled.
33. Income Tax
Case Laws
Comparison of projected cash flows with actual cash flows by TPO
Hyderabad ITAT in the matter of “DQ Entertainment (International) Ltd.” emphasised that
the value at the time of making the business decision is important, opines,” when the values
are replaced subsequently, it is not valuation but evaluation i.e. moving the post of result
determined out of projections”; further held “for valuation of intangibles, only the future
projections can be adopted and such valuation cannot be reviewed with actuals after 3 or 4
years down the line”; relies on coordinate bench ruling in Social Media India Ltd and Bangalore
ITAT ruling in Tally Solutions (P) Ltd.
Rejection of Valuation Report
Delhi ITAT rejected a valuation report in the matter of “Agro Portfolio Pvt. Ltd.” obtained by
the taxpayer to defend the share premium amount on issue of shares. The grounds of rejection
was that no independent enquiry, even on test check basis, was made by the valuer to verify
the reasonableness of the figures furnished by the management.
Similar observation made by Bangalore ITAT in TUV Rheinland NIFE Academy and
Innoviti Payment Solutions
Taxability of Issue of Share Capital
Bombay High Court in the matter of “Vodafone India Services Pvt. Ltd.”(VISPL) wherein the
Bombay HC categorically held that issue of shares at a premium by the VISPL in favour of its
Associated Enterprise did not give rise to any “income” from an International Transaction, and
therefore, there was no need to invoke Transfer Pricing provisions. This judgement clearly
segregated issue of capital as a capital account transaction.
