Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the ESPs, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e-voting process.

SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/CIR/P/2020/242 dated December 9, 2020 on e-Voting facility provided by Listed Companies, Individual shareholders holding securities in demat mode are allowed to vote through their demat account maintained with Depositories and Depository Participants.

| Value per share | 250.53 |
| l GSS Infotech Limited | Amount in INR |
|---|---|

| Exchange Ratio | 1.95895 |
Thus, Exchange Ratio is the same as arrived at in the earlier valuation report.
Selection of appropriate Valuation Approach For GSS:
GSS Infotech Limited is a listed company with shares quoted both on the BSE and NSE. The highest trading volume in respect of the equity shares of GSS has been recorded in NSE during the preceding twenty six weeks prior to the relevant date i.e., December 24, 2021.
As per SEBI ICDR Regulations, "frequently traded shares" means shares of an issuer, in which the traded turnover on any stock exchange during the twelve calendar months preceding the relevant date, is at least ten per cent of the total number of shares of such class of shares of the issuer.
As per trade data of GSS Infotech Limited extracted for NSE from December 24, 2020 to December 23, 2021 (Source: https://www.nseindia.com/), the traded turnover is more than ten per cent of the total number of shares. Thus, GSS Infotech Limited is frequently traded as per SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Accordingly, I have valued the Equity shares of GSS based on the below mentioned parameters:
the price of the equity shares to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue shall be not less than higher of:
(a) the average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange during the 26 (twenty six) weeks preceding the relevant date;
or

(b) the average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average prices of the equity shares quoted on a recognised stock exchange (two) weeks preceding the relevant date. during the $\overline{2}$
For Polimeraas Agro Private Limited
The Company is newly incorporated and I have used the NAV Methodology for the valuation of the same. The income approach is not used since there is no revenue from operations and the Market approach is not used since it is an unlisted company.
For Polimeraas Limited
The Company has investment in Equity shares of Polimeraas Limited and the fair value of the same has been computed as per Income approach-Discounted Cash Flow Method on the basis of financial projections provided by the Company. The Market approach is not used since it is not a listed entity and projections provided by the Company. The Market approach is not used since it is not a listed entity and NAV method i generally not a true indicator of the future distributable cash/profit generaling ability of the business which is widely regarded as the true determinant of value of assets for most of the industries. The asset values recorded in books of accounts are also impacted by accounting policies which may be discretionary at times. Further, this valuation approach (NAV) is used in cases where the firm is to be liquidated i.e., it does not meet the "going concern" criterion or is used in case where the asset base dominates earnings capacity.

Valuation Approaches:
There are three main valuation approaches. They are all based on the economic principles of price equilibrium, anticipation of benefits or substitution. The goal in selecting valuation approaches and methods for an asset is to find the most appropriate method under the particular circumstances. No one method is suitable in every possible situation. The main valuation approaches are:
Valuation is not an exact science and is dependent on various factors such as specific nature of business, economic life cycle in which the industry and company is operating, past financial performance of the business, future growth potential of the business, business model, management of the company, relevance of technology in the business model, liquidity of equity and much more. The results of the valuation exercise may vary significantly depending on the basis used, the specific circumstances and the judgement of the valuer. In respect of going concerns, certain valuation techniques have evolved over time and are commonly in vogue.
A merger is the combination of two or more companies into one by either closing the old entities into one new entity or by one company absorbing the other. In other words, two or more companies are consolidated into one company. The combination of the two companies involves a transfer of ownership, either through a stock swap or a cash payment between the two companies. In practice, both companies surrender their stock and issue new stock as a new company. There are several types of mergers. For example, horizontal mergers may happen between two companies in the same industry, such as banks or steel companies. Vertical mergers occur between two companies in the same industry value chain, such as a supplier or distributor or manufacturer. Mergers between two companies in related, but not the same industry are called concentric mergers. These mergers can use the same technologies or skilled workforce to work in both industry segments, such as banking and leasing. Finally, conglomerate mergers occur between two diversified companies that may share management to improve economies of scale for both companies.
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the swap ratio measures the number of shares the acquiring company has to issue for each individual share of the target firm. For M&A deals that includes shares as part of the consideration (compensation) for the deal, the share exchange ratio is an important metric. Deals can be all cash, all shares, or a mix of the two.
The choice of valuation approach depends on the purpose of valuation and various other business specific and industry specific factors. In some cases, a single valuation technique will be appropriate, whereas in others multiple valuation techniques will be appropriate.
Key Factors Affecting Valuation
To carry out a valuation, I consider certain fundamental factors that affect the wealth generating capability of the company. These include:
- General economic outlook as well as current & expected conditions in the business environment;
- Competitive environment prevailing within the industry;

Valuation Report -Merger of Polimeraas Agros Private Limited with GSS Infotech Limited
$9 + F - 9 - 8$

- Relative competitive advantages of the business in terms of the service capability, management capabilities, etc.;
- Historical financial and operational performance.
Valuation Approaches & Methodologies
The following are commonly used and accepted methods for determining the value of a company:
-
- Asset Approach Net Asset Value method;
-
- "Market" approach and
-
- "Income" approach
Within these three basic approaches, several methods may be used to estimate the value. An overview of these approaches is as follows:
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 dominate 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.
2. Market Approach:-
The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with identical or comparable (that is similar) assets for which price information is available. The market approach often uses market multiples derived from a set of comparable assets, each with different multiples. The selection of the appropriate multiple within the range requires judgement, considering qualitative and quantitative factors.
i. Guideline Publicly Traded Comparable or Comparable Companies Multiple ("CCM") Method :-
The guideline publicly traded method utilizes information on publicly traded comparable companies that are similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value. The method should be used only when the subject asset is sufficiently similar to the publicly traded comparable companies to allow for a meaningful comparison.
ii. Comparable Transactions Multiples ("CTM") Method :-
The comparable transactions method, also known as the guideline transactions method, utilizes information on transactions involving assets that are the same or similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value.
iii. Market Price Method :-
Under this method, the market price of an equity shares of the company as quoted on a recognized stock exchange is normally considered as the fair value of the equity shares of that company where such quotations

Valuation Report -

$1011118$

are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded. The market value generally reflects the investors' perception about the true worth of the company.
3. Income Approach
The income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flows to a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset. A fundamental basis for the income approach is that investors expect to receive a return on their investments and that such a return should reflect the perceived level of risk in the investment.
Commonly used method under this approach is the Discounted Cash Flow Method.
Discounted Cash Flow Method
Under the DCF method the forecast cash flows are discounted back to the valuation date, resulting in a present value of the asset. When selecting the appropriate type of cash flow for the nature of asset or assignment. In addition, the discount rate and other inputs must be consistent with the type of cash flow chosen.
The intended holding period for one investor should not be the only consideration in selecting an explicit forecast period and should not impact the value of an asset. However, the period over which an asset is intended to be held may be considered in determining the explicit forecast period if the objective of the valuation is to determine its investment value. Where the asset is expected to continue beyond the explicit forecast period, valuers must estimate the value of the asset at the end of that period. The terminal value is then discounted back to the valuation date, normally using the same discount rate as applied to the forecast cash flow. The market approach/exit value method can be performed in a number of ways, but the ultimate goal is to calculate the value of the asset at the end of the explicit cash flow forecast. Common ways to calculate the terminal value under this method include application of a market-evidence based capitalization factor or a market multiple. The rate at which the forecast cash flow is discounted should reflect not only the time value of money, but also the risks associated with the type of cash flow and the future operations of the asset.
Selection of appropriate Valuation Approach: For GSS:
GSS Infotech Limited is a listed company with shares quoted both on the BSE and NSE. The highest trading volume in respect of the equity shares of GSS has been recorded in NSE during the preceding twenty six weeks prior to the relevant date i.e., December 24, 2021.
As per SEBI ICDR Regulations, "frequently traded shares" means shares of an issuer, in which the traded turnover on any stock exchange during the twelve calendar months preceding the relevant date, is at least ten per cent of the total number of shares of such class of shares of the issuer.
As per trade data of GSS Infotech Limited extracted for NSE from December 24, 2020 to December 23, 2021 (Source: https://www.nseindia.com/), the traded turnover is more than ten per cent of the total number of shares. Thus, GSS Infotech Limited is frequently traded as per SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Accordingly, I have valued the Equity shares of GSS based on the below mentioned parameters:
the price of the equity shares to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue shall be not less than higher of:

The detailed calculation has been attached as Exhibit 1.
For Polimeraas Agro LLP
The LLP is newly incorporated and I have used the NAV Methodology for the valuation of the same. The income approach is not used since there is no revenue from operations and the Market approach is not used since it is a limited liability partnership firm. The Company has investment in Equity shares of Polimeraas Limited and the fair value of the same has been computed as per income approach-Discounted Cash Flow Method on the basis of financial projections provided by the Company. The Market approach is not used since it is not a listed entity and NAV method is not used since considering the fact that asset values reflected in books of accounts are generally not a true indicator of the future distributable cash/profit generating ability of the business which is widely regarded as the true determinant of value of assets for most of the industries. The asset values recorded in books of accounts are also impacted by accounting policies which may be discretionary at times. Further, this valuation approach(NAV) is used in cases where the firm is to be liquidated i.e., it does not meet the "going concern" criterion or is used in case where the asset base dominates earnings capacity.
The detailed calculation has been attached as Exhibit 2.

Limitations, Caveats. and Disclaimers: i. Restriction on use of Valuation Report
This document has been prepared for the purposes stated herein and should not be relied upon for any other purpose. Our client is the only authorized user of this report and is restricted for the purpose indicated in the engagement letter. This restriction does not preclude the client from providing a copy of the report to third-party advisors whose review would be consistent with the intended use and the Regulations. We do not take any responsibility for the unauthorized use of this report.
ii. Responsibility of valuer
We owe a responsibility only to the authority/client that has appointed me/us under the terms of the engagement letters. We will not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of the actions taken, omissions, or advice given by any other person. In no event shall we be liable for any loss, damages, cost, or expenses arising in any way from fraudulent acts, misrepresentations, or wilful default on part of the client or companies, their directors, employees, or agents.
iii. Accuracy of Information
While our work has involved an analysis of financial information and accounting records, our engagement does not include an audit following generally accepted auditing standards of the client's existing business records. Accordingly, we express no audit opinion or any other form of assurance on this information.
iv. Achievability of the forecast results
We do not assure the achievability of the results forecast by the management/owners as events and circumstances do not occur as expected; differences between actual and expected results may be material. We express no opinion as to how closely the actual results will correspond to those projected/forecast as the achievement of the forecast results is dependent on actions, plans, and assumptions of management.
v. Post Valuation Date Events (This should be disclosed while defining valuation date)
The user to which this valuation is addressed should read the basis upon which the valuation has been done and be aware of the potential for later variations in value due to factors that are unforeseen at the valuation date. Due to possible changes in market forces and circumstances, this valuation report can only be regarded as relevant as at the valuation date.
vi. Range of Value Estimate
The valuation of companies and assets is made based on the available facts and circumstances and the conclusions arrived at in many cases will be subjective and dependent on the exercise of individual judgment. Although every scientific method has been employed in systematically arriving at the value, there is, therefore, no indisputable single value and the estimate of the value is normally expressed as falling within a likely range. To comply with the client's request, We have provided a single value for the overall Fair Value Whilst, we consider the valuation to be both reasonable and defensible based on the information available, others may place a different value

$23 - 29 - 2$


vii. No Responsibility to the Actual Price of the subject asset, if sold or transferred/, exchanged
The actual market price achieved may be higher or lower than our estimate of value (or value range of value) depending upon the circumstances of the transaction (for example the competitive bidding environment), the nature of the business (for example the purchaser's perception of potential synergies). The knowledge, negotiating ability, and motivation of the buyers and sellers and the applicability of a discount or premium for control will also affect the actual market price achieved. Accordingly, our valuation conclusion will not necessarily be the price at which the actual transaction will take place.
viii. Reliance on the representations of the owners/clients, their management, and other third parties
The client/owner and its management/representatives warranted to us that the information they supplied was complete, accurate and true, and correct to the best of their knowledge. We have relied upon the representations of the owners/clients, their management, and other third parties concerning the financial data, operational data, and maintenance schedule of all plant machinery equipment tools vehicles, real estate investments, and any other investments in tangible assets except as specifically stated to the contrary in the report. We shall not be liable for any loss, damages, cost, or expenses arising from fraudulent acts, misrepresentations, or wilful default on part of the companies, their directors, employee, or agents.

Accordingly, our valuation conclusion will not necessarily be the price at which any agreement proceeds. The final transaction price is something on which the parties themselves have to agree. we also emphasize that our opinion is not the only factor that should be considered by the parties in agreeing on the transaction price.
