Geospatial Industry Overview
The geospatial industry ecosystem is a complex entity with multiple interactive components. These technologies have evolved over the years
and are broadly segmented into four categories: GNSS and Positioning, GIS and Spatial Analytics, Earth Observation and 3D Scanning.
• GNSS and Positioning: A constellation of satellites, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), transmits signals from space to users with
a compatible device to determine their position, velocity and time.
• GIS and Spatial Analytics: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or spatial analytics is a system that is designed to capture, store, manipulate,
analyze and interpret data relationships, patterns and trends.
• Earth Observation: Earth Observation is a technology used to map the surface or the earth from above or from space.

• GeoTech is a service/solution providing company and majority of its working capital requirement arise as salaries to be paid every month, whereas realisation of
revenue is delayed y about 6 months creating a working capital gap.
• Generally all the working capital requirements were met by equity and in past there has been one instance where a working capital loan was taken of SAR 1 Mn.
• During the financial year 2017 – 2018, the company faced issues due to delay in receivable from government projects, where, in some cases receivable days
extended over 200 days. During this time GeoTech was supported by its partners/suppliers by extending the payable days by over 200 days, and helping them
to perform smoothly without leaning over high debt during the period.
• The company is expected to improve its receivable and payable days and is expected to bring in working capital within forecasted range by 2022, as the
economic condition in the region is improving and local governments are expected to increase their budgets for various projects in this field.
• The inventory in GeoTech is nil and has no impact on the working capital requirement. Also, any material required for a project is considered as an asset.

Valuation Summary – Proposed Valuation
SAR 50 Mn
Empact has considered a blended approach as the most robust method of valuation as this takes into account the advantages and mitigates the disadvantages of
each valuation method.
A higher weight was given to the DCF approach due to the scale and geography of GeoTech operations. However considering the valuation arrived at by DCF
and Multiple methods is nearly the same a change in weightage would have nominal effect.
GeoTech has negligible or no no long-term and short-term debts .
