Products Profile of the Company:

final responsibility with respect to third party's patent rights in a specific country
lies exclusively with the user."
The 3 distinct brands of ABC Pharmaceutical are a product of constant
innovation, expertise and dedication. The superior quality, effectiveness and
affordability are aspects that are in sync with the patient needs.
Recently, ABCPL became only the second company in India to receive DCGI
permission to market Ofloxacin, Once-Daily 400mg & 800mg formulations.
Hence, we expect significant growth for this brand in the coming year.
Top three brands of ABCPL are:
Doktor Mom

lozenges (5 flavours- pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, lemon and orange).
Doktor Mom is widely marketed by ABCPL in USA through our own sales
representatives. Doktor Mom has been awarded "Most Trusted American Brand
Award" by Readers Digest in the cough and cold segment. This award was given
to ABCPL by Readers Digest for the last 5 consecutive years (2004, 05, 06, 07,
08). This is a household brand in USA.

Metrogyl, ABCPL s biggest brand is the Metronidazole molecule. The company
has also introduced a plethora of variations to this brand for convenient patient
use. Some of the variations like palatable, suspended, large volume topical,
dental and combinations with norfloxacin also capture high prescription rate.
Metrogyl has been tried and tested since last 7 years and is still going strong.
This exhibits its excellent therapeutic value to its users. Metrogyl IV,is an
important brand extension of Metrogyl. Today Metrogyl IV is being exported to
several countries. This is a clear indication of the acceptance and trust in
Metrogyl IV of doctors.

Economic Environment:
In the past year, the Indian as well as the global economy has witnessed a very
high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The outlook for the global economy
continues to remain bleak. IMF has estimated that world economic growth will fall
to 0.5% in 2009, which is the lowest rate since World War II. The global economy
is expected to experience gradual recovery in 2010, when growth is estimated at
3%, as the impact of expansionary fiscal and monetary policies starts to set in.
It is inevitable that the fortunes of the Indian economy will be impacted by the
growth prospects of the world economy as export demand continues to fall, and
external financing becomes progressively constrained. However, there are some
inherent strength within the Indian economy, which have spawned the idea of its
'decoupling' from the global economy. While it is debatable whether economies
such as India will remain completely insulated from the negative growth
prospects of the global economy, there are some factors that might play a
mitigating role in the face of the spreading contagion.
o The presence of a large domestic population, along with the increase
in its per capita income.
o Further, a strong saving and investment rate.
The Indian economy registered around 9.0% growth during FY04-FY07 and this
growth rate gave rise to hopes of structural shift in economic growth.
Real GDP, which witnessed substantial moderation during Jan-Dec'08, is one of
the key indicators of an economy that is losing steam. During Jan-Dec'08, India's
GDP growth averaged 7.4% as compared with 9.2% during the corresponding
period of the previous year.

4.1

Real GDP to grow by 6.7% in FY10


D&B believes the economy would pick up in the medium to long term period,
when lagged effects of aggressive policy response by the Government and by
the RBI. D&B believes that the strong fundamentals of the Indian economy are a
key to early reversal. D&B expects GDP growth to bottom out during H1 FY10,
see a reversal by H2 FY10 and average at 6.7% for FY10.

13

Confidential and for private circulation only

BusinessValuationReport 2010

D&B expects the industrial sector growth to average at 4.6% during FY09,
significantly lower than 8.1 % in FY08. Further, on account of improvement in
demand during H2 FY10, industrial sector growth is expected to improve and
average at 5.5% during FY10.
4.2

Industrial production to pick up in H2 FY10


D&B expects growth in industrial production to be around 3.5% during FY09 as
compared with 8.5% during FY08. However, industrial production is expected to
improve during H2 FY10 and register an average growth of 5.3% during FY10 on
account of:
Rise in domestic demand
Stability in export demand

14

Faster implementation of infrastructure projects that are in pipeline and increase in the
developmental expenditure by the Government in FY10.

BusinessValuationReport 2010

4.3

Bank Credit to Moderate:


D&B forecasts the bank credit growth to moderate to around 21.5% by end of
FY09 and then to 20.0% by end of FY10.

4.4

Stress on External Balance Likely to Increase


D&B expects exports to be around US$ 178 bn in FY09, which is approximately
US$ 22 bn lower than the Government's target, owing to economic downturn
witnessed in India's key export markets. D&B, however, expects exports to
witness some revival during the second half of FY10, when the world economy
begins to stabilise. D&B expects exports to grow around 14% to US$ 203 bn
during FY10.
Imports, on the other hand, are expected to be around US$ 300 bn in FY09 and
are likely to increase further to US$ 353 bn in FY10, as demand will pick up in
the Indian economy during latter part of FY10. Imports are expected to grow at
17.7% during FY1 0, which is lower as compared to 25.0% (estimated) during
FY09.
D&B expects the trade deficit to increase to US$ 122 bn in FY09 and further to
US$ 150 bn in FY10, as growth in imports is expected to be greater than exports.
D&B expect the current account deficit to be around 2.2% of GDP in FY10 as
invisible receipts are expected to pick up once the external environment
stabilises by the latter half of FY10.

Despite global recession and financial crises, the Drugs and


Pharmaceuticals sector could maintain its positive growth in sales volume.
The sectors profitability was affected with the expenses increasing at a
faster pace as compared to income.
The increase in expenditure was mainly on account of the increase in the raw
material cost, wages and salaries, depreciation and interest expenses.
With AS11 no longer mandatory, drug makers are not expected to report
MTM loss on their foreign exchange borrowings.
Domestic growth is also expected to remain healthy and the Governments
decision to open more Jan Aushadhis stores will support this trend.

Business Risks and their Management of Risks at ABCPL:


The company has a policy of evaluating various risks that the Company is prone
to from time to time. Wherever feasible, remedial measures are initiated and
suitable follow-up action is taken.
We have been provided a gist of the various risks involved in the conduct of the
affairs of the Company by the management, and how the Company proposes to
deal with these risks:

6.1

Assets:
All the fixed assets of the Company, including stocks of finished goods, raw
materials, packing materials and work-in-process are adequately insured, at
replacement values and employees are covered by health insurance.

6.2

Global and Environmental Risks:


The Company aims to keep itself insulated from these risks by entering into
strategic alliances with partners in other countries. In case of such tie-ups, the
cost of litigation and the cost of regulatory filings, wherever applicable, would be
to the account of the partner.

6.3

Human Resources
The Company believes in its human capital as one of the important assets and
therefore, has taken steps to retain talent by providing reasonably appreciable
avenues of growth, along with suitable compensation structures. The Company
has recently concluded a Employee Stock Option Plan.

6.4

Products / Markets:
While it is inevitable to depend on a single market, product or customer in certain
circumstances, efforts are made by the Company to reduce such dependence, to
the minimum. Invariably in such cases, attempts are made to widen the business
horizon and simultaneous efforts are made to enter niche markets and introduce
niche products.

6.5

Competition:
After the company's successful foray into oncology segment in 2003, several
companies have followed suit, resulting in severe competition at the market
place. However, the company has been able to neutralize the competition by
increasing its rapport with the medical profession and generally spreading the
knowledge about the company's products by organizing continuous knowledge
programs for the medical profession.
The company continues to pursue a very aggressive pricing policy for some of its
products, and continues its drug donation program.
Standards of manufacture and quality play a vital role in managing competition
and retaining and developing customer base, By maintaining its facilities at world

22

Confidential and for private circulation only

BusinessValuationReport 2010
standards, and continuously upgrading them to suit international standards and
US FDA requirements, ABCPL is able to not only retain but widen its
international customer base. Regular audits are undertaken by customers and
the observations made in these audits are duly taken care of.
For the domestic markets, a majority of the products are made from the
manufacturing facilities located at tax-free zones and the Company has been
able to pass on at least a part of these benefits to the customers.
6.6

Price Controls:
The pharmaceutical industry in India is subject to price controls and the prices of
some products are determined by the Government. Though only some products
manufactured by ABCPL are likely to be a subject matter of price control
mechanism under the Indian law, nevertheless, governmental compulsions for
reduction in the prevailing prices remains a risk.

6.7

Litigations:
Efficient and effective management of the business reduces the risk that the
company's products face in terms of litigation. Being a company which is
enthused to launch new products, sometimes first time generic introductions in
the world, the company is aware of the risks that its products and activities are
subject to. Most of these risks are neutralized by a unique system of tie-ups
where the litigation risks are taken-up by the partner rather than the Company
itself. In addition, suitable product liability insurance is also obtained.

6.8

Regulatory Observations:
Regulatory approvals form the basic strength of the Company and utmost care is
taken to ensure that these approvals are valid, in full force and are renewed from
time to time. To this end, all observations made by the Regulatory Auditors and
Customer Auditors are taken seriously and immediate action is initiated to rectify
the lapses.

6.9

Foreign Currency transactions and associated Risks:


The company continues its policy of not hedging any of its import / export
transactions. It has been the company's experience that such a policy, over a
period of time, neutralizes the risks associated with foreign currency transactions.

6.10

Economic and Financial Risks:


The company is operating in an environment where, as of now, financial costs
are rising. The company is attempting to reduce the financial costs by contracting
new loans and swapping them with the old loans. Wherever possible, attempts
are made to enhance the product pricing to cover rising costs.

6.11

Other Risks:
In addition, the Company faces distribution, storage, contamination, counterfeit
and risks associated with patents and intellectual property rights which the

23

company faces. The company is in the process of evolving a strategic
mechanism which will enable it to deal with these risks in course of time.

Valuation approaches and methods considered:


For the purpose of valuation of the Company, we have used all three recognized
valuation methods:

8.1

Asset Approach
Income approach (DCF method)
Market approach (Average P/E multiple of the listed companies reduced by
30% and price to sales multiple methods)

Asset Approach
The Asset Based approach considers the cost of replacement or liquidation value
of an asset as an indication of the fair market value of that asset.
Under this method realizable value of total assets and total liabilities as per latest
Audited Financial statement are considered for arriving at the net asset book
value of the company. No adjustments for contingent liabilities, which might
crystallize in future and no discount has been given on Sundry Debtors and Loan
and advances in view of the information from management that it may expects
such default in future since we are of opinion that the replacement value of the
assets will be much more than these discounts and contingent liabilities. Hence
we considered the net worth as per last audited balance sheet on 31.12.09 as
basis for calculation of per value share. Details are given below:

Income Approach:
Under the Income approach, we have used the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
method. This method is also called the multiperiod income discounting model.
The discounted economic income method is based on the premise that a
financial investment is worth the sum of all of the future benefits it will provide to
its owner, each discounted to a PV at the discount rate that reflects the time
value of money and the degree of risk of receiving the benefits when and in the
amounts expected. It requires:
DCF analysis is based mainly on the following elements:

Projection of timing and amount of future expected cash flows;

A discount rate that reflects the cost of capital for the type of investment
and returns contemplated.

Projection of financial statements
Based on historical analysis of past five year (2005 to 2009), we have projected
the future free cash flows which will be available to the company. The detailed
workings are enclosed in the excel spreadsheet attached with this report.
(Annexure 3).
Discounted factor
The Discount Factor (also termed as the Discount Rate) is the most challenging
task in the mathematical calculation of Valuation. For calculating the Net Present
Value of cash flows the Discount Rate has been calculated by the Capital Asset
Price Model (Expanded CAPM), which is:
Discount rate = Risk Free Return Rate + (Market Return Risk Free Return) +
Risk attributable to the specific company
Cost of Equity (as per Modified CAPM):

Market approach
Market Approach refers to the notion of arriving at the value of a company by
comparing it to the market value of similar companies. The comparison is based
on certain financial ratios or multiples, such as the price to book value, price to
earnings, price to sales, EV/EBITDA, etc., of the equity in question to those of its
peers. This type of approach, which is popular as a strategic tool in the financial
industry, is mainly statistical, based on historical data, and current market
sentiments.
We have calculated the value of equity by using the P/E multiple and price to
sales multiple method. Detailed working is given below:
