OVERVIEW OF VALUATION APPROACHES
Basis and Premise of Valuation

Valuation of the equity shares of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited as at the Valuation Date
is carried out in accordance with ICAI Valuation Standards (“ICAI VS”), considering ‘Fair
Value’ base and ‘going concern value’ premise. Any change in the valuation base, or the
valuation premise could have a significant impact on the valuation outcome of the Company.

Basis of Valuation

It means the indication of the type of value being used in an engagement. Fair Value as per
ICAI VS is defined as under: “Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
Valuation Date.”

Premise of Value

Premise of Value refers to the conditions and circumstances how an asset is deployed.
Valuation of the Company is carried out on a Going Concern Value premise which is defined
under ICAI VS as under:

“Going concern value is the value of a business enterprise that is expected to continue to
operate in the future. The intangible elements of going concern value result from factors such
as having a trained work force, an operational plant, the necessary licenses, systems, and
procedures in place, etc.” It is pertinent to note that the valuation of any business/company or
its assets is inherently imprecise and is subject to various uncertainties and contingencies, all
of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. In performing our analysis, we
made numerous assumptions considering inter-alia dependency and financial assistance from
existing shareholders and general business and economic conditions, many of which are
beyond the control of the company. In addition, this valuation will fluctuate with changes in
prevailing market conditions, and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the business, and
other factors which generally influence the valuation of the company, its business and 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 purpose, it cannot be too
strongly emphasized that a valuer can only arrive at one value for one purpose. Our choice of

Equity shares valuation of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited (ToothSi) Page 10 of 21


methodology of valuation has been arrived at using usual and conventional methodologies
adopted for transactions of similar nature and our reasonable judgment, in an independent
and bona fide manner based on our previous experience of assignments of a similar nature.

The following are commonly used and accepted methods for determining the value of equity
shares of a company:

1. Asset Approach – Net Asset Value method

2. Market Approach:

a) Market Price method

b) Comparable Companies Market Multiple method

3. Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow method

As discussed, and agreed with the Management, we have carried out the value analysis of
equity shares using the Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) method, which is a commonly used
method for valuing such companies.

1. Asset Approach - Net Asset Value Method (‘NAV’)

The asset-based value analysis technique is based on the value of the underlying net
assets of the business, either on a book value basis, realizable value basis or
replacement cost basis. This value analysis approach is mainly used in case where the
firm is to be liquidated i.e., it does not meet the "going concern" criteria or in case
where the assets base dominates earnings capability. It is also used where the main
strength of the business is its asset backing rather than its capacity or potential to earn
profits. AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited presently operates as a going concern and
would continue to do so for the foreseeable future and NAV does not value the future
profit generating ability of the business, we have therefore not used this method to
arrive at the equity value of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited.

Equity shares valuation of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited (ToothSi) Page 11 of 21


2. Market Approach

2a. Market Price Method

The market price of an equity shares as quoted on a stock exchange is normally


considered as the value of the equity shares of that company where such quotations
are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in, subject to the element
of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the value of the shares. But there could be
situations where the value of the share as quoted on the stock market would not be
regarded as a proper index of the fair value of the share especially where the market
values are fluctuating in a volatile capital market.

The equity shares of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited are not listed on any stock
exchange, we have therefore not used this method to arrive at the equity value of the
Company.

2b. Comparable Companies’ Multiple (‘CCM’)/ Comparable Transactions’ Multiple


(‘CTM’) Method

Under CCM, the value of shares / business of a company is determined based on


market multiples of publicly traded comparable 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. CCM applies multiples
derived from similar or ‘comparable’ publicly traded companies to a company's
operating metrics. Although no two companies are entirely alike, the companies
selected as comparable companies should be engaged in the same or a similar line
of business as the subject company. The appropriate multiple is generally based on
the performance of listed companies with similar business models and size.

Based on our discussion with the Management, we understand that there are no
recent comparable listed companies which are operating in similar line of business
and having similar operating/ financial metrics as that of AMPA Orthodontics Private
Limited, we have therefore not used CCM method.

Under CTM, the value of shares/ business of a company is determined based on


market multiples of publicly disclosed transactions in the similar space as that of the
subject company. Multiples are generally based on data from recent transactions in a

Equity shares valuation of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited (ToothSi) Page 12 of 21


comparable sector, but with appropriate adjustment after consideration has been
given to the specific characteristics of the business being valued. Based on our
discussion with the Management we understand that there are no recent comparable
transactions involving companies of similar nature and having a similar operating/
financial metrics as that of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited, we have therefore not
used CTM method.

3. Income Approach- Discounted Cash Flows (‘DCF’) Method

DCF method values a business based upon the available cash flow a prudent investor
would expect the subject business to generate over a given period of time. This
method is used to determine the present value of a business on a going concern
assumption and recognizes the time value of money by discounting the free cash flows
for the explicit forecast period and the perpetuity value at an appropriate discount
factor. Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company
that are available to equity shareholders of the company. The terminal value
represents the total value of the available cash flow for all periods subsequent to the
forecast period. The terminal value of the business at the end of the forecast period is
estimated and discounted to its equivalent present value and added to the present
value of the explicit forecast period cash flow to estimate the value of the business.

The projected free cash flows to equity shareholders over the explicit forecast period
and terminal value are discounted using the Cost of equity (‘COE’). The sum of the
discounted value of such free cash flows to equity is the value of the business
attributable to equity shareholders.

Using the DCF analysis involves determining the following:

Estimating future cash flows:

Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company that are
available to equity shareholders of the company.

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 equity shareholders. The opportunity cost of equity capital providers

Equity shares valuation of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited (ToothSi) Page 13 of 21


equals the rate of return the capital provider expects to earn on other investments of
equivalent risk.

To arrive at the total value attributable to the equity shareholders of the business, value
arrived through DCF method for the company is adjusted for the value of loans, excess
cash inflow on exercise of options, non-operating assets / liabilities (e.g. fair value of
investments, any contingent liabilities, etc.). The total value for equity shareholders is
then divided by the total number of equity shares to arrive at the value per share of the
business.

VALUE ANALYSIS RECOMMENDATION
Valuation Working - Discounted Cash Flows (‘DCF’) Method
The value analysis of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited as at the Valuation Date has been
carried out on a going concern basis. In our fair value analysis, we have used DCF method
based on the cash flow projections provided to us by the Management (‘Management
Projections’) and have relied on the audited financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2022 & Unaudited Financial Statements as of 31 March 2023. Income Projections and
Cashflow statements are given by Management which we were told are based on forecast
submitted by AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited

The Free Cash Flows to Equity (‘FCFE’) method has been used to determine the equity value
of the Company. The FCFE method involves an estimation of post-tax-free cash flows over
the forecast period after consideration of the entity’s requirements for reinvestment in terms of
capital expenditure, incremental working capital as well as project specific needs and interest
and loan repayment to providers of debt. The free cash flows represent the cash available for
distribution to the equity shareholders of the business.

The free cash flows to equity shareholders are discounted by cost of equity. The cost of
equity represents the returns required by the investors of equity for their relative funding in the
entity. The returns expected would depend on the perceived level of risk associated with the
business of the Company and the industry in which the company operates.

We have relied on the Management Projections for the period from FY24 to FY30, as
prepared and provided to us by the Management. We did not carry out any validation
procedures or due diligence with respect to the information provided / extracted or carry out
any verification of the assets or comment on the achievability of the assumptions underlying
the Management Projections, save for satisfying ourselves to the extent possible that they are
consistent with other information provided to us during the course of this engagement.

We would like to emphasize that we have considered the Audited Financial Statements of
AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited as at 31 March 2022, unaudited financial statements
provided by the management as at 31 March 2023 and projections for rest of FY 2023-24 till
FY 2029-30 for the purpose of our value analysis. The Management has represented that

Equity shares valuation of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited (ToothSi) Page 15 of 21


they do not expect significant changes in the net asset position between 31 March 2023 and
the Valuation Date.

The projected free cash flows based on these financial projections are:

Terminal cash flow (Terminal value)

The terminal value refers to the present value of the business as a going concern beyond the
period of projections up to infinity. This value is estimated taking into account expected
growth rates of the business in future, sustainable capital investments required for the
business as well as the estimated growth rate of the industry and economy. The cash flow of
FY 30 has been used as the base to determine the terminal value and suitable adjustments
have been made to the same based on discussion with the management.

Based on dynamics of the sector and discussions with the Management, we have assumed a
long-term growth rate of 6.50% to calculate the terminal value. The terminal value after
discounting has been estimated at INR 13,858 Millions.

Discount factor

The discount factor considered for arriving at the present value of the FCFE is the cost of
equity. The cost of equity using the CAPM is estimated at 15.81% after giving appropriate
allowances for company specific risks.

Given that cash flows are estimated to accrue evenly over the year, we have used the mid-

Equity shares valuation of AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited (ToothSi) Page 16 of 21


period discounting convention to discount the cash flows.

inquiries could have verified any matter, which a more extensive examination might disclose.

The report assumes that the Company complies fully with relevant laws and regulations
applicable in all its areas of operations and that the Company will be managed in a competent
and responsible manner. Further, except as specifically stated to the contrary; this report has
given no consideration on to matters of a legal nature, including issues of legal title and
compliance with local laws and litigation and other contingent liabilities that are not
represented to us by the Management.

This report does not look into the business/ commercial reasons behind the transaction nor
the likely benefits arising out of the same. Similarly, the report does not address the relative
merits of the transaction as compared with any other alternative business transaction, or other
alternatives, or whether or not such alternatives could be achieved or are available. This
report is restricted to estimation of fair value of equity share proposed to be issued by the
Company and transferred by the shareholder only.

We would like to emphasize that we have considered the Audited Financial Statements of
AMPA Orthodontics Private Limited as at 31 March 2022, unaudited financial statements
provided by the management as at 31 March 2023 and projections for rest of FY 2023-24 till
FY 2029-30 for the purpose of our value analysis. The Management has represented that
they do not expect significant changes in the net asset position between 31 March 2023 and
the Valuation Date.

We must emphasize that realization of forecasted free cash flow considered in our analysis
will be dependent on the continuing validity of assumptions on which they are based. Our
analysis therefore, will not, and cannot be directed to providing any assurance about the
achievability of the final projections. Since the financial forecasts relate to the future, actual
results are likely to be different from the projected results because events and circumstances
do not occur as expected, and the differences could be material. To the extent that our
conclusions are based on the forecasts, we express no opinion on achievability of those

forecasts. The fact that we have considered the projections in this valuation exercise should
not be construed or taken as our being associated with or a party to such projections.

The fee for the Engagement is not contingent upon the results reported.

the liability of CA RV BHAVIN HINGER exceed the amount of fees as agreed with the
Management or in our Engagement Letter.
