SECTION II: RISK FACTORS RISK ENVISAGED BY MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT PERCEPTIONS THEREOF

An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. You should consider all information in this Letter of Offer,

including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares. If any of the

following risks or any of the other risks and uncertainties discussed in this Letter of Offer actually occur, our business,

financial condition and results of operations could suffer, the trading price of the Equity Shares could decline, and you

may lose all or part of your investment. These risks and uncertainties are not the only issues that we face, additional

risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have an

adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial or

other implications of any of the risks described in this section. The numbering of risk factors is provided solely for

convenience.

The risk factors shall be determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for

determining the materiality

(1) Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively.

(2) Some risks may have an impact which is qualitative though not quantitative.

(3) Some risks may not be material at the time of making the disclosures in the letter of offer but may have a material

impact in the future.

Risk relating to Our Company and its Business

1. Our company has gone for capital reduction

Our Company had filed a petition under Section 101 of the Companies Act, 1956 into the Hon’ble High Court of

Judicature at Madras seeking to effect a reduction of its Equity Share Capital and by reducing the face value of

our shares from Rs. 10/- per share to Re. 1/- per share and the Hon’ble High Court has approved such reduction

vide its order dated November 24, 2009, a copy of which has been filed with the ROC on December 15, 2009.

2. Our Company has incurred losses continuously in the past years. As a result, considerable portion of our net

worth has been wiped out. Further, as per the restated financial statements included in this Letter of Offer, we

had negative cash flows.

We have incurred losses continuously in the past years till March 31, 2010. Our Company had incurred losses in

the past due to, interest burden, carrying cost of manpower and other fixed overheads.

3. The land on which KMCSHIL is situated is subject to litigation. In the event of an adverse ruling, we may be

unable to operate and manage the hospital and recover investments made in it.

A major portion of the land on which our hospital situated is the subject of ongoing litigation. If the litigation in

respect of such land is not decided in our favor, we may lose right on the land or have to make substantial

payments, or may be unable to continue operate our hospital. We may also have to relocate our existing hospital

and incur additional costs. For further details, see the section titled “Outstanding Litigation and Material

Developments” on page 116 of this Letter of Offer.

4. Our hospital is located on land not owned by us.

A major portion of the land on which the hospital building is located is not owned by our company. The said land

is owned by our Promoter company namely Sri Kavery Medical Care (Trichy) Ltd. We have entered into a lease

agreement with our Promoter Company for use of the land which we do not own and we make regular lease

payment and the amount of such lease rent paid by the Company is Rs. 2.50 lac per month for the period from

May 1, 2008 to March 31, 2010. Since April 1, 2010, the lease rent is paid at Rs. 17,500/- per month. For any

reason, the lease agreement is not renewed on expiry period, there may be disruptions to our operations and we

may face substantial financial loss in respect of our investment.


11

5. We have dues to municipality for regularization of construction on 4th

, 5th

and 6th

floor of our hospital.

The Municipal Corporation of Tiruchirapalli contended that the construction of 4th

, 5th

and 6th

floors of the

hospital building have no approval and issued a show cause notice to the company. Our company has paid a sum

of Rs. 6.05 lacs as regularization fees and has filed an application before the appropriate authorities for the

regularization of the construction. Our Company has also filed an appeal and made request before the authorities

of the Thiruchirapalli Municipal Corporation for early regularization of the construction and the same is under

process. If our application for regularization of 4th

, 5th

and 6th

floors of the hospital building is not decided in our

favor, we may lose sizeable part of hospital building or have to make substantial payments.

6. Property tax to the tune of Rs. 108.32 lacs is payable by the company

The hospital of the Company was built on the land leased out from the erstwhile promoter of the Company in the

year 1992. The hospital building was wrongly assessed for property tax by the Tiruchirappalli Municipal

Corporation separately for each floor on the assumption that the building is owned by erstwhile promoter and

leased out to the Company and charged property tax accordingly. The Company had filed a suit against

Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation before the District Munsif Court, Tiruchirappalli in the year 1993 and a

judgement was delivered in November 2003 directing the Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation to issue demand

notice in the name of the hospital and to reconsider revision of property tax in line with the existing rules and

procedures. Since then the said land was purchased by our Promoter company on February 26, 2008 and has

given on lease to our Company. Our Company has filed an appeal and made request before the authorities of

Thiruchirapalli Municipal Corporation to consider revision of property tax as directed by the Court and the same

is under process. The Company has provided Rs. 50 lacs in the books of accounts upto March 31, 2010 against

property tax payables. If the Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation does not revise the property tax, the Company

needs to provide additional amount which will affect the Company’s business and profitability.

7. There is outstanding litigation against us relating to customs and tax obligations, and such litigation may

adversely affect our financial results.

In 1991, we benefited from a customs exemption (Customs Exemption Certificate; Notification No. 64/88-Cus

dated March 1, 1988) in importing various types of medical equipments. The exemption required us to provide

free treatment to a minimum of 40% of our outpatients and 10% of our inpatients, subject to the patients having

monthly income lower than Rs. 500. We complied with this condition until 1997 when the medical equipment

became non-functional. We discontinued using and dismantled the medical equipment in 1997 and stopped

providing the free treatment. The Commissioner of Customs issued a show cause notice pursuant to which an

order was passed on January 31, 2000, directing that the Cardiac Catherization Laboratory be confiscated. We

were also ordered to pay a duty of Rs.76 .11 Lacs in order to redeem the confiscated equipment, along with a

penalty of Rs. 2 Lacs. The Company had filed a writ petition before the Madras High Court in 2001 against the

Order of Commissioner of Customs. On December 5, 2006 the Madras High Court allowed Company’s petition

and remanded the matter for fresh consideration. The Commissioner of Customs, Airport, filed an appeal against

the order of Madras High Court on March 30, 2007, where this matter is currently pending.

As on September 30, 2010, the Company has outstanding unsecured loans aggregating Rs.1706.37 Lacs

repayable on demand basis. The repayment schedule in respect of unsecured loan has not been specified.

Unscheduled demand of these loans and payments thereof, may impact the liquidity positions.

We have entered into related party transactions with our Promoters, Directors and Associates. We believe that

all such transactions have been conducted on the arms length basis on normal course our business. Further it is

likely that we will enter into related party transactions in the future. For details of these transactions, please refer

to section titled “Related Party Transactions” on page nos. 105 to 106.

14. We have experienced negative cash flows.

There has been negative cash flows in the past years due to mismatch of expenses exceeding income, but in the

previous year ended on March 31, 2010 there are no cash loss though there is a operating loss due to

These matters are currently pending and consequently the eventual outcome of these matters cannot be

estimated. These cases may expose KMCSHIL to potentially high liability. As a result of these qualifications, our

financial statements may not provide a complete presentation of our financial condition. For further details, see

the auditor’s report included in the section titled “Financial Information” beginning on page 81 of this Letter of

Offer.

16. We are a single location hospital and any local event might have an adverse impact on our revenues and

profitability.


13

Our hospital is located at a single location, which is at Tiruchirappally in Tamil Nadu. We are vulnerable to the

effects of a natural disaster, such as a flood, earthquake or fire, or other calamity or event or any local social

unrest or breakdown of services and utilities in that area that disrupts our ability to conduct our business or that

causes material damage to our property. In the event of a significant disaster in our facilities, it could be difficult

for us to maintain or quickly resume our operations. We do not have business interruption insurance, and our

property insurance may not cover all loss or damage to our assets.

17. Our management has a limited history of operating as a Listed Company and we have incurred net losses to

date and may incur additional net losses in the future.

The Company was incorporated in 1982, came out with an IPO in 1992 and has been a loss making entity since

then. We have operational losses in all the previous years. The Management of the Hospital changed post the

Open Offer in April 2008 and the existing management only has a limited history of operation of Listed Company

upon which you can evaluate us or our prospects. We have incurred net losses in previous years. While we

recorded a net loss of Rs.41.60 lacs in Fiscal 2010, we cannot assure you that we will report and sustain

profitability in the future.

18. The Promoter of the Company Sri Kavery Medical Care (Trichy) Ltd. is in the same business as KMCSHIL and

operates in the same locale.

interests differ from our Promoters or one or more members of our Promoter Group has an interest. None of our

Promoters or the members of our Promoter Group has undertaken to refrain from competing with our business.

In addition, none of the Promoters or members of the Promoter Group is obligated to direct any opportunities to

us. We share members of senior management and key employees and other resources and office space which

may divert management attention and resources away from our business and create conflicts of interest. In

addition, new business opportunities may be directed to our Promoter Company instead of our Company. Our

Promoters and our Promoter Group may also keep us from entering into certain businesses related to our own,

which may be important for our growth the in the future, as they may already have interests in other similar

businesses.

19. Certain Group Companies / ventures have incurred losses during the previous Fiscals

The Group Companies / ventures that have incurred losses during the previoust Fiscals are as under:

20. Majority of Directors of Promoter Company are the Directors of our Company

all matters relating to approval of significant corporate transactions of our company.

All the present Key Management Personnels have been appointed subsequent to the Open Offer and take over of

management by the present promoters. For details of Key Management Personnels and their appointment,

22. Our promoter will continue to retain significant control over our Company after the Rights Issue

Upon completion of the Rights issue, our promoter will continue to own majority of of our Equity Shares. As a

result, our promoter will be in a position to influence any shareholder action or approval requiring a majority


14

vote, except where it is required otherwise by applicable laws or where they abstain from voting. Our promoter

will also have the ability to control our business including matters relating any sale of all or substantially all its

assets, the timing and distribution of dividends and the election or termination or appointment of its officers and

directors. Further, the extent of the promoters’ shareholding in the Company may result in the delay or

prevention of a change of management or control of the Company, even if such a transaction may be beneficial

to the other shareholders of the Company.

23. If we are unable to identify expansion opportunities or we experience delays or other problems in

implementing new facilities at our hospital, our growth, financial condition and results of operations may be

adversely affected. In addition, from the Net Proceeds of the Issue we intend to fund for renovation and may

not be successful in our plans.

Our growth depends on our ability to upgrade and manage the hospital. We may face challenges while

renovating, rebuilding or repositioning of our hospital and may be unable to effectively integrate new facilities

with our current operations. Undertaking new projects and facilities requires significant managerial and financial

resources and we may face difficulties in recruiting and retaining an adequate pool of doctors and other

personnel for our hospitals.

24. We do not own the trademarks, including their respective names and logos, and the value of such intellectual

property may be impaired by the actions of others.

The name and logo “KMC Speciality Hospital”, is an important asset of our hospital and our business. However,

we do not own the “KMC Speciality Hospital” trademark, including name and logo. Maintaining and enhancing

the reputation associated with the trademark name and logo is integral to our success. Infringement of the “KMC

Speciality Hospitals” trademark, for which we may not have recourse, may adversely and materially affect our

reputation, and, thereby, our business.

25. The Company currently does not intend to pay dividends, and it may not pay dividends in the future.

The Company has not declared dividends in the past. The Company currently intends to retain all of its earnings

to finance the development and expansion of its business and, therefore, does not intend to declare dividends

on the Equity Shares in the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to pay dividends will depend upon a

number of factors, including its results of operations, earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general

financial conditions, contractual restrictions, applicable Indian legal restrictions and other factors considered

relevant by the Board.

26. Your holdings may be diluted by additional issuances of Equity Shares. Furthermore, sales of Equity Shares by

the Promoters may adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares.

Any future issuance of the Equity Shares, including any issuing of Warrants, employee stock option scheme or any

other similar scheme in the future, may dilute the positions of investors in the Equity Shares, which could

adversely affect the market price of the Equity. Any such future issuance of Equity Shares could negatively impact

the market price of the Equity Shares. Such Equity Shares also may be issued at prices below the then-current

market price.

Sales of a large number of the Equity Shares by the Promoters, or the possibility of such sales, may adversely

affect the market price of the Equity Shares.

27. The exit options available to the equity shareholders may be limited and the scrip of the company is illiquid

The equity shares of the company are listed on BSE, MSE and DSE. There has not been any trading in the shares

since 1996 on MSE and DSE. On BSE Company’s shares were not actively traded. There can be no assurance that

an active trading market for the Company’s equity shares will revive or be sustained and as such the exit options

available to the equity shareholders may be limited.

28. The company has not properly maintained records as regards shareholding buildup since inception.


15

29. Our Company did not comply with Section 383(A) of the Companies Act, 1956 regarding the appointment of

whole time company secretary.

Our Company did not comply with Section 383(A) of the Companies Act, 1956 regarding the appointment of

wholetime Company Secretary for the period December 1, 1982 to March 14, 1991, June 1, 1994 to May

18,2000, December 13, 2001 to July 14, 2003, October 23, 2004 to March 27, 2005 and August 2, 2005 to

February 28, 2009. Our Company has appointed whole time Company Secretary from March 1, 2009.

30. Rapid technological advances, technological failures and other challenges related to our medical equipment

could adversely affect our business.

We use sophisticated and expensive medical equipment in our hospitals to provide services, including devices

required for super-specialty procedures. Medical equipment often needs to be replaced frequently as innovation

can rapidly make existing equipment obsolete. Replacement of equipment may involve significant costs, as well

as foreign currency risks, since some equipment is imported from other countries. In addition, because of the

high costs of medical equipment, we may not maintain back-up equipment, and, therefore, if such equipment is

damaged or breaks down, our ability to provide services to our patients may be impaired.

31. We are vulnerable to failures of our information technology systems, which could adversely affect our

business.

Our information technology systems are a critical part of our business and help us manage clinical systems,

medical records and inventory. We also rely on our information technology systems to practice telemedicine,

where our doctors consult with each other and patients via advanced video conferencing arrangements. Any

technical failures associated with our information technology systems, including those caused by power failures

and computer viruses and other unauthorized tampering, may cause interruptions in our ability to provide

services to our patients. Corruption of certain information could also lead to delayed or inaccurate judgments or

diagnoses in our treatment of patients and could result in damage to the welfare of our patients. In addition, we

may be subject to liability as the result of any theft or misuse of personal information stored on our systems.

32. We are highly dependent on healthcare professionals such as our doctors, nurses and other healthcare

professionals and the loss of, or inability to attract or retain, such persons could adversely affect our business

and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain leading doctors and other healthcare professionals, we may not be able to

provide quality services and could affect our business and results of operation.

33. We are also highly dependent on members of our senior management team, to manage our current operations

and meet future business challenges. In particular, the services of our Managing Director and our senior

doctors.

We are highly dependent on members of our senior management team, to manage our current operations and

meet future business challenges. In particular, the services of Dr. S.Chandrakumar, the Managing Director of the

Company, and our senior doctors, who typically practice at individual hospitals, have been integral to our

development and business. The loss of the services of our senior management or key personnel, including our

senior doctors, could seriously impair our ability to continue to manage and expand our business.

34. Our arrangements with some of our doctors may give rise to conflicts of interest and time-allocation

constraints and adversely affect our operations.

Our contracts and other arrangements with some of our doctors, who provide non-core specialty services such as

dentistry, also permit them to maintain their own private practices, as well as positions at a limited number of

other hospitals. Certain of our doctors may also maintain positions at local clinics or affiliations with teaching

hospitals. These arrangements may give rise to conflicts of interest, including with regard to how these doctors

allocate their time and other resources between our hospitals and other clinics or hospitals at which they work

and where doctors refer patients. Such conflicts may prevent us from providing a high quality of service at our

hospitals and adversely affect the level of our patient intake.


16

35. Our significant size of income comes from limited number of customers. Any adverse change in customer

relationship could harm our business

Our Company has arrangement with Government Enterprises and large corporate clients numbering to 49 for

providing health care to their employees at negotiated price. These arrangements contributes major source of our

income which constitute around 40% of our total revenue during the Fiscal 2010. Our revenues from these

corporate customers may differ from quarter to quarter and may adverse our operations. If such arrangements

are not renewed on its expiry or any adverse change in customer relationship could harm our business and

financial results.

36. Our gross income is dependent on inpatient income and occupancy rates, which could decline due to a variety

of factors.

Our primary source of gross income is from inpatient treatments. Growth in inpatient income and increasing or

maintaining occupancy rates at our hospitals are highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain well-known

doctors, our ability to develop speciality practices and our ability to compete effectively with other hospitals and

clinics. Growth in inpatient income may also be impaired by the absence of a developed health insurance sector,

lack of appropriate government programs and the small proportion of people in India with health insurance. Our

inability to increase growth in inpatient treatments or occupancy rates may adversely affect our business and

results of operations.

37. Increases in wages could reduce profit margins, cordial relationship with the workers / employees and is

crucial for smooth functioning of operations

Any significant increase in wages and salary costs could have an adverse effect on the business, financial

condition and results of operations. In the long term, wages and salary increase may make KMC SHIL less

competitive unless it is able to continue increasing efficiency and productivity, and the prices that it can charge to

customers

38. We operate in competitive industry and face increasing competition from other hospitals and healthcare

providers, which may have effects on our position and results of operations.

We compete with government-owned hospitals, other private hospitals, smaller clinics, hospitals owned or

operated by non-profit and charitable organizations and hospitals affiliated with medical colleges. We will also

have to compete with any future healthcare facilities located in the regions in which we operate. Some of these

competitors may be more established and have greater financial, personnel and other resources than our

hospitals. New or existing competitors may price their services at a significant discount to ours or offer greater

convenience or better services or amenities than we provide. Smaller hospitals, stand-alone clinics and other

hospitals may exert pricing pressures on some or all of our services and also compete with us for doctors and

other medical professionals. Some of our competitors also have plans to expand their hospital networks, which

may exert further pricing and recruiting pressure on us. If we are forced to reduce the price of our services or are

unable to attract patients and doctors and other healthcare professionals to our hospitals, our business and

financial results may be adversely affected.

39. Non meeting of projections made in Prospectus.

We came out with an IPO in the year 1992 and raised equity share capital by way of a public issue to finance

hospital project. The projected capacity and cash profit and net profit were made in the Prospectus. However the

Company could not meet projections stated in the Prospectus.

40. Compliance with applicable safety, health, environmental and other governmental regulations may be costly

and adversely affect our competitive position and results of operations.

We are subject to central and local laws, rules and regulations governing, among other things, the:

• conduct of our operations;

• additions to facilities and services;

• adequacy of medical care;

• quality of medical equipment and services;


17

• discharge of pollutants into air and water and handling and disposal of bio-medical, radioactive and other

hazardous waste;

• qualifications of medical and support personnel;

• confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with health-related information and medical

records; and

• screening, stabilization and transfer of patients who have emergency medical conditions.

Safety, health and environmental laws and regulations in India are stringent and it is possible that they will

become significantly more stringent in the future. If we are held to be in violation of such regulatory

requirements, including conditions in the permits required for our operations, by courts or governmental

agencies, we may have to pay fines, modify or discontinue our operations, incur additional operating costs or

make capital expenditures. Any public interest or class action legal proceedings related to such safety, health or

environmental matters could also result in the imposition of financial or other obligations on us. Any such costs

could adversely affect our competitive position and results of operations. For further details of the regulations

applicable to us, see the section titled “Key Industry Regulation” beginning on page 56 of this Letter of Offer.

SECTION III: INTRODUCTION

A. SUMMARY

1. Summary of Industry and Our Business

Summary of Industry

a) Overview

Both the public sector and private sector deliver the healthcare sector in India. The public healthcare system

consists of healthcare facilities run by central and state government which provide services free of cost or at a

subsidized rates to low income group in rural and urban areas. With the Indian economy enjoying a steady

growth, the industry is heading towards growth phase.

The Indian healthcare industry is one of India’s largest sectors, in terms of revenue and employment and growing

at a frantic pace and has the potential to show the exponential growth.

b) Public vs. Private Provision of Healthcare Services

The state, central and local governments share the responsibility of providing healthcare in India. After the

economic reforms in 1986, public health expenditure has remained more or less stagnant between 0.9 per cent

to 1.2 per cent of GDP. Private healthcare to form a large share of the healthcare spend around 80% and would

increase to US$ 33.6 billion in 2010 from US$ 14.8 billion in 2002. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,

Healthcare delivery infrastructure is still under developed in India, and there is strain on existing resources.

Patients may be required to wait in long queues for treatment at these hospitals, and many doctors are

overworked. India’s growing middle class is, therefore, increasingly choosing private hospitals.

c) Lack of Infrastructure

i. Hospital Beds

India’s healthcare infrastructure has not kept pace with the economy’s growth. The available capacity has

increased but not in line with rising demand. India has 0.7 beds per thousand patients as against a world

average of 2.6. Bed to thousand-population ratio of 1.85 is likely to be reached by 2012. (Source: India Brand

Equity Foundation, www.ibef.org). This is a clear indication of the insufficiency of healthcare infrastructure in

India.

The physical infrastructure is woefully inadequate to meet today’s healthcare demands, much less

tomorrows. While India has several centers of excellence in healthcare delivery, these facilities are limited in

their ability to drive healthcare standards because of the poor condition of the infrastructure in the vast

majority of the country. The number of public health facilities also is inadequate.

ii. Trained Personnel

The biggest challenge for the healthcare industry today is a shortage of trained personnel, ranging from

doctors, nurses, technicians and even healthcare administrators

Density of registered doctors and nurses in India is 1.9 per 1000 population, which is less than half of the

world average of 4.1 and lower even when compared to global norms (5) as well as the norm of 2.25 set by

NCMH. The number of non-allopathic doctors in India is slightly more than the number of allopathic doctors.

Overview

Both the public sector and private sector deliver the healthcare sector in India. The public healthcare system

consists of healthcare facilities run by central and state government which provide services free of cost or at a

subsidized rates to low income group in rural and urban areas. With the Indian economy enjoying a steady

growth, the industry is heading towards growth phase.

The Indian healthcare industry is one of India’s largest sectors, in terms of revenue and employment and growing

at a frantic pace and has the potential to show the exponential growth.

Public vs. Private Provision of Healthcare Services

The state, central and local governments share the responsibility of providing healthcare in India. After the

economic reforms in 1986, public health expenditure has remained more or less stagnant between 0.9 per cent

to 1.2 per cent of GDP. Private healthcare to form a large share of the healthcare spend around 80% and would

increase to US$ 33.6 billion in 2010 from US$ 14.8 billion in 2002. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,

www.ibef.org).

Healthcare delivery infrastructure is still under developed in India, and there is strain on existing resources.

Patients may be required to wait in long queues for treatment at these hospitals, and many doctors are

overworked. India’s growing middle class is, therefore, increasingly choosing private hospitals.

Lack of Infrastructure

i. Hospital Beds

India’s healthcare infrastructure has not kept pace with the economy’s growth. The available capacity has

increased but not in line with rising demand. India has 0.7 beds per thousand patients as against a world

average of 2.6. Bed to thousand-population ratio of 1.85 is likely to be reached by 2012. (Source: India Brand

Equity Foundation, www.ibef.org). This is a clear indication of the insufficiency of healthcare infrastructure in

India.

The physical infrastructure is woefully inadequate to meet today’s healthcare demands, much less

tomorrows. While India has several centers of excellence in healthcare delivery, these facilities are limited in

their ability to drive healthcare standards because of the poor condition of the infrastructure in the vast

majority of the country. The number of public health facilities also is inadequate.


49


ii. Trained Personnel

The biggest challenge for the healthcare industry today is a shortage of trained personnel, ranging from

doctors, nurses, technicians and even healthcare administrators

Density of registered doctors and nurses in India is 1.9 per 1000 population, which is less than half of the

world average of 4.1 and lower even when compared to global norms (5) as well as the norm of 2.25 set by

NCMH. The number of non-allopathic doctors in India is slightly more than the number of allopathic doctors.


Emerging Trends and Industry Outlook

i. Shifting Demographics and Socio-economic Trends

One driver of growth in the healthcare sector is India’s booming population. Socio-economic and

demographic changes within the Indian population have increased the incidence of lifestyle diseases such as

cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

The Indian healthcare market is estimated to touch US$ 77 billion by 2013 expected to grow at a compound

annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 per cent for the next 15 years. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,

www.ibef.org). The main factors propelling this growth are rising income levels, changing demographics and

illness profiles, with a shift from chronic to lifestyle diseases.

The rapid growth of the Indian economy has led to a change in urban and rural lifestyles that has brought

about a major shift in the prevalence of disease pattern from communicable to non-communicable. The shift

in disease profiles from infectious to lifestyle-related diseases is expected to raise expenditures per

treatment. Lifestyle related diseases are typically more expensive to treat than infectious ones.


50

ii. Market Growth

Healthcare which is estimated at about US$ 38 billion industry is expected to rise to US$ 77 billion in 2013 at

a CAGR of 15 per cent. The Sector expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 per

cent for the next 15 years. Healthcare industry accounted for 5.1 per cent of the country‘s GDP in 2006 and

this industry is expected to generate employment opportunities for nine million people by 2012.

Indian Healthcare Market Healthcare infrastructure in 2008

(Source: India Brand Equity Foundation, www.ibef.org). (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation, www.ibef.org).

During 2006-2011, the average annual growth in health expenditure by the BRIC countries is estimated at 11

per cent. It is expected to touch US$ 413 billion by 2011. Share of tertiary care in the total healthcare market

is around 11 per cent and which is expected to grow at a faster rate, due to rise in complex ailments such as

heart diseases and cancer. The per capita healthcare expenditure in India grew by 9.3 per cent between the

years 1993-94 and 2001-02.

The Government launched the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in 2005. It aims to provide quality

healthcare for all and increase the expenditure on healthcare from 0.9 per cent of GDP to 2-3 per cent of

GDP by 2012. During the 2009 interim budget, the government hiked the allocation for NRHM by US$ 423.7

million over and above US$ 2.5 billion. The government has announced a US$ 64 million initiative to promote

domestic manufacture of medical devices such as stents, catheters, heart valves and orthopedic implants

that will lead to lower prices of these critical equipment. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,

www.ibef.org).

iii. Shifting Spending Patterns

There would be significant changes in the spending patterns. This growth is expected to be driven by the rise

in lifestyle diseases. The occurrence of communicable diseases is likely to decrease, that of non-

communicable diseases is rising. Cardiac, oncology and diabetes collectively accounted for 13.8 per cent of

the hospitalisation cases in 2008. In terms of value, these three ailments accounted for 39 per cent of the in-

patient revenues. These ailments are estimated to account for 17.4 per cent and 20.0 per cent of the

hospitalisation cases in the year 2013 and 2018, respectively. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,

www.ibef.org).

Hospitalisation cases, 2008

iv. Increasing Penetration of Health Insurance

In recent years, with a liberalization of the Indian healthcare a number of private insurance companies have

entered the Indian market.

The Indian health insurance market has emerged as a new and lucrative growth avenue for both the existing

players as well as the new entrants. The health insurance market represents one the fastest growing and

second largest non-life insurance segment in the country. The Indian health insurance market has posted

record growth in the last two fiscals (2008-09 and 2009-10). Revenue attributable to insurance or Third Party

Administrators (TPAs) has grown from two per cent in 2001-02 to 16 per cent in 2005-06. Total credit billing

has increased to 32 per cent in 2005-06 and it is likely to increase further to 50 per cent by 2011-12.

Domestic health policy premiums have shown a 47 per cent increase in the first quarter of 2006. Health

insurance is projected to grow to US$ 5.75 billion by 2010. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,

www.ibef.org).

v. Medical Value Travel

Use of technologically advanced diagnostic equipments and excellent infrastructure are making India a

medical value travel hub. Medical value travel is one of the most lucrative segments of the healthcare sector

and is expected to grow into a US$ 1.5 billion industry by 2010. It has the potential to contribute US$ 1.2 -2.4

billion additional revenue for upmarket tertiary hospitals by 2012, and will account for 3-5 per cent of the

total healthcare delivery market. From 10,000 patients about five years ago, India was able to attract

approximately 150,000 patients to the country in 2006-07. With an annual growth rate of 30 per cent, India

is already inching closer to Singapore and Thailand, which are established medical care hubs that attract

millions of medical tourists a year. The Ministry of Tourism (MOT), Government of India has further

enhanced the Mvisa and MXvisa (Medical Visa) by extending it from six months to three years. India offers

easy access to visa facilities for overseas patients along with best emerging medical infrastructure in large

and tertiary towns. This shall generate earnings of about US$ 19.5 billion in foreign exchange by 2012.


vi. Public Private Partnerships (PPP)

Various state governments are collaborating with the private sector through PPP to improve the

inefficiency and decrease the inequity in the health system. Partnership initiatives range from

super-specialty tertiary-care hospitals (Apollo Hospital, Raichur; SMS hospital, Jaipur) to primary

care (Karuna Trust in Karnataka) and slum communities (Arpana Swasthya Kendra, Delhi; urban

slum care in the district town of Adilabad, Andhra Pradesh). Community health insurance initiatives

have also been undertaken in terms of Arogya Raksha scheme in Andhra Pradesh and Yeshasvini

scheme in Karnataka.

Chiranjeevi Yojna is a public private partnership which has dramatically reduced maternal and

infant mortality in the state of Gujarat. The NHS (National Health Service) of Britain, with an annual

budget of US$ 100 billion, is also eager to invest in PPP ventures in India, starting with West Bengal

in the initial phase. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation, www.ibef.org).


52

vii. Increased Spending on Infrastructure

An enormous amount of private capital will be required in the coming years to enhance and expand India’s

healthcare infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing population and an influx of medical tourists.

Medical infrastructure market in India is expected to grow at 14.5 per cent over the next five years (starting

2007). To achieve a bed to population ratio of 1.98, a total investment of US$ 88 billion would be required.

Revenues from private beds in 2012 estimated at US$ 38.8 billion. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,

renal transplants). We are investing significantly in the technology, equipment and infrastructure required to

perform the most advanced procedures. To extend, support and strengthen our specialty focus, we have

established and intend to expand our network of regional specialty ICU hospitals, which can refer patients to

our super-specialty hospital.

iv. Experienced management:

Our operations are led by an experienced management group that functions well as a team, and that has the

expertise and vision to continue to expand our business. The management of the company was taken over

standards enables us to operate our facilities more efficiently.

We believe that the “KMC” brand is widely recognized in the region where our hospital facility is located by

both healthcare professionals and patients in specialty areas, such as cardiac care, orthopedics, neuro-

sciences, oncology, renal care, metabolic diseases and mother and child care. We believe that our reputation

helps us to attract not only patients, but also well-known doctors and other healthcare professionals, who in

turn draw additional patients to our facilities.

b. Our Business Strategies

The following are the key elements of our business strategy:


55

i. Focus on high-growth segment in the healthcare services market:

The increase in standard of living and purchasing power of people, an increase in awareness about health

and healthcare, a growing medical value travel market and an increase in lifestyle-related diseases such as

heart disease, has created a new and expanding group of patients. This group is increasingly demanding

higher levels of quality medical services. We believe that we are well-positioned to serve the increasing

demand for sophisticated clinical care.

ii. Improve profitability and occupancy rates at our hospitals:

We intend to improve profitability at our hospitals by increasing average income per bed and decreasing

average length of stay. We plan to focus on our case mix and increase the ratio of surgical to medical

procedures, and also improve our utilization rates in order to increase average income per bed.

iii. Attract and retain prominent, skilled doctors:

We believe that we have been successful in attracting and retaining doctors who have over a period of time

achieved clinical excellence in their fields at our hospitals. We believe that hiring surgeons and other

physicians who have established reputations for clinical excellence in their communities is key to the

successful implementation of our strategy.

iv. Training to the Administration with leadership skills:

We believe that well trained and skilled staff is required to carry out the smooth operation of the

organization. We at our hospital provide training to the administrative staff to attract sustained management

talent to support emerging business needs and develop and train employees appropriately for each level of

the management hierarchy to drive results efficiently.

v. Steps taken to deal with the competition:

• The Company has adopted aggressive marketing strategies

• Enlisting and tie ups with new corporate clients

• Conduct free medical camps to create health awareness in rural areas

• Revision of tariffs to suit the economic status of the patients and offering loyalty discounts and

concessions wherever necessary

• Brand building by offering best of services and adopting corporate social responsibility

• A number of obsolete equipments have been replaced by state of art equipments

• Number of new departments with latest equipments have been commissioned

2. KEY INDUSTRY REGULATIONS

The Company is engaged in the business of operating and managing hospitals and we are governed by a number

of central and state legislations that regulate our business. Additionally, our functioning requires, at various

stages, the sanction of the concerned authorities under the relevant legislations and local bye-laws:

Besides being governed by the general laws relating to conduct of our business and services include sales tax,

service tax, customs duty, income tax etc. Apart from all the corporate laws, local laws and other related

regulations the following are the key regulations in respect of the healthcare industry in India:

1. Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (“DCA”), Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 (“DCR”) and Drugs (Prices

In order to maintain high standards of medical treatment, the DCA regulates the import, manufacture,

distribution and sale of drugs for the proper protection of drugs and medicines and prohibits the

manufacture and sale of certain drugs and cosmetics which are misbranded, adulterated, spurious or

harmful. The DCR specifies the requirement of a license for the manufacture, sale, import or distribution of

any drug or cosmetic. It further mandates that every person holding a license must keep and maintain such

records, registers and other documents as may be prescribed which may be subject to inspection by the

relevant authorities.

Under the present drug policy of the government of India, certain drugs have been specified under the

DPCO, which are subject to price control. The government of India established the National Pharmaceutical

Pricing Authority (“NPPA”) to control pharmaceutical prices. Under the DPCO, the NPPA has the authority to

fix the maximum selling price for specified drugs.

The MTP regulates the termination of pregnancies by registered medical practitioners and permits

termination of pregnancy only on specific grounds and for matters connected therewith. It stipulates that

abortion can be carried out only in certain stipulated circumstances by a registered medical practitioner who

has the necessary qualification, training and experience in performing medical termination of pregnancy and

only at a place which has facilities that meet the standards specified in the rules and regulations issued under

the MTP. Under the MTP, private hospitals and clinics need government approval and authorization

(certification) to provide medical termination of pregnancy services. Under the rules framed pursuant to the

MTP, private clinics can receive their certification only if the government is satisfied that termination of

pregnancies will be done under safe and hygienic conditions, and the clinic has the requisite infrastructure

and instruments in place.

3. Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act, 1994 (“PDT”)

determination leading to female feticide, and, for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. No

person authorized to use pre-natal diagnostic techniques is permitted to determine the sex of a fetus or to

communicate the sex of the fetus to the pregnant woman or her relative. The PDT makes it mandatory for all

genetic counseling centers, genetic clinics, laboratories and all bodies utilizing ultrasound machines to

register with their respective appropriate authorities failing which penal actions could be taken against them.

4. Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994 (“THOA”)

The THOA provides for the regulation of removal, storage and transplantation of human organs for

therapeutic purposes and for the prevention of commercial dealings in human organs and for matters

incidental thereto. The THOA prohibits the removal of any human organ except in situations provided

therein. No hospital can provide services relating to the removal, storage or transplantation of any human

organ for therapeutic purposes unless such hospital is duly registered under the THOA.

quantity, other than in a manner otherwise specified in the license and that every employer must designate a

“Radiological Safety Officer” and monitor radiation on a regular basis and maintain records with respect to

every such radiation worker in the manner prescribed under the AERPR.

7. Radiation Protection Rules, 1971 (“RPR”)

The RPR provides that every employer required to handle radiation equipment or radioactive material must

obtain the prior permission of the competent authority. The RPR mandates an employer to appoint a

“Radiological Safety Officer” with the approval of the competent authority for the implementation of the

radiation protection program including all in-house radiation surveillance measures and procedures and to

discharge the functions as specified under it. Further, the employer is also required to obtain prior

permission from the competent authority for undertaking any decommissioning operation.

8. Radiation Surveillance Procedures for Medical Applications of Radiation, 1989 (“RSP”)

The RSP provides for procedures applicable to the medical uses of radiation, including the commissioning

and decommissioning of radiation equipment as well as working conditions in any radiation installation. Any

employer intending to use radiation equipment must acquire a license or authorization. A “Radiological

Safety Officer” is to be appointed to survey the radiation equipment and to maintain records of radioactive

equipment to ensure compliance with the statutory provisions. The Code mandates that only those medical

X-ray machines which are of the type approved by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (“AERB”) are to be

installed for use. It further provides, among other things, that the owners of medical X-ray installations in

India be registered with AERB, and further to carry out quality assurance performance test of the X-ray unit

and to employ qualified staff. Violation of any license issued under the RPR or condition of the Code may be

3. HISTORY, AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE

1. History and Major events

Our company was originally incorporated as Advanced Medical Care Private Limited on December 31, 1982

by P. S. Mahadevan and Sheshadri Ramanujam with the Registrar of Companies, Chennai at Tamil Nadu. The

Company was converted into a Public Limited Company on July 15, 1988. We came out with an IPO in July

1992.

The name of our company was changed to Seahorse Hospitals Limited on March 21, 1995 pursuant to the

change in management to the Seahorse group in March 1994.

Sri Kavery Medical Care (Trichy) Ltd. signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 42,59,635 equity shares

of Rs. 10 each (representing 33.95% of the then paid up capital) with Seahorse group to acquire control over

our company in February 2008; In response to the Public Announcement and subsequent open offer our

promoters acquired 7,42,510 equity shares (5.92%). Our company was renamed to KMC Speciality Hospitals

(India) Ltd. with effect from October 24, 2008 pursuant to the above take over to reflect the change in

management.

The corporate Identification Number of our Company is L85110TN1982PLC009781. Our Company was

incorporated with its registered office at ‘Sri Bhuvneshwari’ No. 6, Royal Road, Cantonment, Tiruchirappalli -

620 001, Tamil Nadu, India. The Registered Office of our company was shifted to 18, Swamy Sivananda Salai,

Chennai 600 005, Tamil Nadu, India w.e.f. August 18, 1999. The Registered Office of our company was again

shifted to No. 6, Royal Road, Tiruchirappalli, 620 001, Tamil Nadu, India w.e.f. September 29, 2004. The

changes in the registered office were effected in order to facilitate better control, administration and

management of the business operations of the Company.

Our company incurred losses from FY 1992-93 before extraordinary items. We reported a profit for the year

in 2002-03 and 2004-05 due to waiver of accumulated interest by SBI and ICICI, IDBI & IFCI respectively. We

agreed with our lenders for a One Time Settlement of dues in FY 2002-03 and 2004-05.

Capital Reduction:

Our company incurred losses during FY 1992-93 through 2001-02, FY 2003-04 and FY 2005-06 through 2009-

10 (previous completed financial year). In order to write-off the above losses and to reflect the true financial

position of the company, we did a capital reduction of the face value of equity shares from Rs. 10/- per share

to Re. 1/- per share.

The salient features of the Capital Reduction as extracted from the petition filed before the Hon’ble High

Court of Judicature at Madras are as under:

1.) The Petitioner has been incurring losses over the last few years and had a total accumulated loss of Rs.

14,00,68,083 as on March 31, 2009, as against a paid up capital of Rs.12,54,50,000 and Reserves &

Surplus of Rs. 3,01,82,334 (comprising of capital reserve account). Since there are no reserves except

Capital Reserve Account of Rs. 3,01,82,334 the entire paid up share capital of the Company has been lost

or is unrepresented by available assets. Thus the capital structure of the Company does not reflect the

realistic financial position of the Company. The true financial position would be reflected only upon

writing off the accumulated losses.

2.) The Petitioner felt that the huge accumulated losses is a deterrent to the progress of the company

especially with regard to obtaining bank loans, obtaining better terms of credit with suppliers, capital

servicing etc., more so because it would take a very long period for the losses to be wiped off

completely. The Board of Directors of the Petitioner have, therefore, after contemplating various

options, felt that it would be in the interest of the Petitioner if it writes off its paid up capital against the

accumulated losses to the extent of Rs.9 per share amounting to Rs.11,29,05,000 without reducing the

number of shares.

3.) The petitioner submits that the above proposal will reduce the paid up capital of the company and will

not have any adverse influence on the creditors of the company. The proposal does not involve either

the diminution of any liability in respect of the unpaid share capital or payment to any shareholder. The

proposal does not involve any cash outflow and therefore would not affect the ability or liquidity of the

petitioner to meet its obligations/commitments in the normal course of business.


61

In compliance with the above petition and the order of the Honb’le High Court, Chennai dated November 24,

2009, the following was accomplished:

a. Paid up share capital comprising of 1,25,45,000 shares of Rs. 10/- each be reduced to 1,25,45,000 shares

of Re. 1/- each

b. The requirement to add the words, “and reduced” along with the name be dispensed

Accounting treatment made pursuant to the capital reduction in the books of the Company:

a. 1,25,45,000 Equity shares of Rs. 10/- each paid-up Rs. 12,54,50,000

Less: Written off the value of Rs.9/- per share Rs. 11,29,05,000

(LIC) to discharge the Gratuity liabilities of its employees. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation

and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation made at the end of the year using projected

unit credit method. Actuarial gains/losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss account as they occur.

c. Short Term Benefits

Short Term Benefits are those benefits which are payable within twelve months after the end of the

period in which the employees render service and these are measured at cost.

12. Income Taxes

Tax expense comprises current, deferred and fringe benefit tax. Current income tax and fringe benefit tax is

measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax

Act, 1961. Deferred income tax reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income

and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the

balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty

that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax


88

assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be

realised against future taxable profits.

At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes

unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as

the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax

assets can be realised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes-

down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or

virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which

deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably

certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

13. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to the

equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the

purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity

shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the

effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

14. Provisions

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is

probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable

estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best

estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance

sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

c. Provision for Deferred Taxes

The company had not adopted Accounting Standard-22 till year 2008-09 as there was no virtual certainty

of the company making taxable profits for set off in future. However, from the year 2008-09 owing to

significant turnaround in business and increase in turnover, the company has started recognizing

Deferred Taxes. As a result, the company has credited a sum of Rs.375.68 lakhs being Deferred Tax Asset

on account of Timing differences on depreciation and depreciation loss from inception. However, the

company has not recognized Deferred Tax Assets on Business Loss as a matter of prudence.

Due to retrospective application of the standard from 2008-09, there was an additional credit to the

Profit & Loss Account for the year ended 31st

March 2009 to the extent of Rs. 344.73 lakhs being

deferred tax assets pertaining to previous years. In the preparation of the restated financial statements,

this additional credit has been adjusted appropriately to the respective years to which it relates as per

Civil Proceedings

The hospital of the Company was built by the Company on the land leased out from Dr. P. S. Mahadevan, the

erstwhile promoter of the Company in the year 1992. The hospital building was wrongly assessed for

property tax by the Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation separately for each floor on the assumption that

the building is owned by the erstwhile promoter and that the same was leased out to the Company and

levied property tax on such wrong basis. The Company had filed a suit against Tiruchirappalli Municipal

Corporation before District Munsif Court, Tiruchirappalli in the year 1993 and a judgement was delivered in

November 2003 directing the Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation to issue demand notice in the name of

the company and to reconsider revision of property tax in line with the existing rules and procedures. The

Company had filed an appeal to the Tiruchirappalli Municipal Commissioner on March 28, 2008 for revising

the property tax taking into the fact that the hospital building is belonged to the Company and that the same

was not leased out from the erstwhile promoter. The accumulated arrears of the revised property tax works

out to Rs. 108.32 lacs upto March 31, 2010. Response to the Company’s appeal from the Tiruchirappalli

Municipal Corporation is awaited. If the Company’s appeal for revising the property tax is not considered

favourably by Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation, the Company may have to pay accumulated arrears of

revised property tax as on March 31, 2010 amounting to Rs. 108.32 lacs with further amount till the date of

actual payment.

our office for seizure of certain medical equipments imported earlier under concession notification no. 64/88

providing medical, surgical or diagnostic treatment without any distinction of caste, creed, race, religion or

language and also free to at least 10% of in-patients and 40% of out patients under Customs Duty Exemption

1. Our Company

Our Company has not made any public/rights issues during the period of ten years immediately preceding

the date of filing this Offer document with SEBI, details regarding “list of public / rights issues made during

the period of ten years”.

Our Company had come up with Public Issue of 69, 00,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each for cash at par

aggregating to Rs. 690.00 lacs with retention of 15 % of the issue amount oversubscribed. The Issue was

opened on July 6, 1992. The object of the Issue were to provide part of the finance required for setting up of

250 bed hospital with specialities and also meeting the expenses of the Public Issue.

Net Profit 253 (88) 4450 (421) 348 (538)

The present management of the Company believe that at the time of Public Issue, the erstwhile promoters of

the Company might have projected higher income without considering the competiton from smaller nursing

homes offering the same type of services. Being a corporate hospital, our hospital has certain fixed type of

statutory overheads which the smaller nursing home does not have.

However, after taking over the management of our Company, the present management has adopted the

following strategies to counter the competition from small nursing homes and other players in the field to

make the hospital financially viable and profit making.

• Services of skilled and experienced doctors have been availed

• A number of obsolete equipments have replaced by state of art equipments

• An exclusive gynecology department has been established

• New cardiology section and diabetic care centre with latest equipments have been commissioned

• The ENT, Dental, Ophtalmology, Orthopedics, Trauma care facilities have been revamped

• New departmemts viz. Audiology, Gastro Enterology, Obesity Clinic have been established

• More number of corporate clioents have been added to existing list of corporate clients

• The Company has enrolled for Chief Ministers’ Insurance plan provided for people below poverty

line

• Marketing have been strengthened as promotional activities

It is evident from the financial results of Fiscal 2009 & 2010, the Company is achieving better financial results

from the strategies adopted by the management.

Mode of payment

The Equity Shareholder applying under the ASBA Process agrees to block the entire amount payable on

application with the submission of the CAF, by authorizing the SCSB to block an amount, equivalent to the

amount payable on application, in a bank account maintained with the SCSB.

After verifying that sufficient funds are available in the bank account provided in the CAF, the SCSB shall block an

amount equivalent to the amount payable on application mentioned in the CAF until it receives instructions from

the Registrars. Upon receipt of intimation from the Registrar, the SCSBs shall transfer such amount as per

Registrar’s instruction allocable to the Equity Shareholders applying under the ASBA Process from bank account

with the SCSB mentioned by the Equity Shareholder in the CAF. This amount will be transferred in terms of the

141

73(3) of the Companies Act, 1956. The balance amount remaining after the finalisation of the basis of allotment

shall be either unblocked by the SCSBs or refunded to the investors by the Registrar on the basis of the

instructions issued in this regard by the Registrar to the Issue and the Lead Managers to the respective SCSB.

The Equity Shareholders applying under the ASBA Process would be required to block the entire amount payable

Payment of Refund

Mode of making refunds

The payment of refund, if any, would be done through any of the following modes:

1. ECS – Payment of refund would be done through ECS for Investors having an account at any of the 68

centers where such facility has been made available. This mode of payment of refunds would be subject

to availability of complete bank account details including the MICR code as appearing on a cheque leaf,

from the Depositories. The payment of refunds is mandatory for Investors having a bank account at any

centre where ECS facility has been made available by the RBI (subject to availability of all information for

crediting the refund through ECS), except where the Investor, being eligible, opts to receive refund

through National Electronic Fund Transfer (“NEFT”), direct credit or RTGS.

2. NEFT – Payment of refund shall be undertaken through NEFT wherever the Investors� bank has been

assigned the Indian Financial System Code (IFSC), which can be linked to a MICR, if any, available to that

particular bank branch. IFSC Code will be obtained from the website of RBI as on a date immediately

prior to the date of payment of refund, duly mapped with MICR numbers. Wherever the Investors have

registered their nine digit MICR number and their bank account number while opening and operating

the payment of refund will be made to the Investors through this method.

3. Direct Credit – Investors having bank accounts with the Bankers to the Issue shall be eligible to receive

refunds through direct credit. Charges, if any, levied by the relevant bank(s) for the same would be

available and whose refund amount exceeds Rs. 50 lacs, have the option to receive refund through

RTGS. Such eligible Investors who indicate their preference to receive refund through RTGS are required

to provide the IFSC code in the CAF. In the event the same is not provided, refund shall be made through

ECS. Charges, if any, levied by the refund bank(s) for the same would be borne by the Company. Charges,

if any, levied by the Investor’s bank receiving the credit would be borne by the Investor.

5. For all other Investors, including those who have not updated their bank particulars with the MICR code,

the refund orders will be dispatched under certificate of posting for value up to Rs. 1,500 and through

Speed Post/ Registered Post for refund orders of Rs. 1,500 and above. Such refunds will be made by

6. Credit of refunds to Investors in any other electronic manner permissible under the banking law, which

are in force, and are permitted by the SEBI from time to time.

Printing of Bank Particulars on Refund Orders

As a matter of precaution against possible fraudulent encashment of refund orders due to loss or

misplacement, the particulars of the Investor’s bank account are mandatorily required to be given for

printing on the refund orders. Bank account particulars will be printed on the refund orders/refund warrants

with a depository concerned.

Allotment advice, refund order (if any) would be sent directly to the Investor by the Registrar to the Issue but

the Investor’s depository participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such Equity Shares

to the Investor’s depository account. CAFs, which do not accurately contain this information, will be given

the Equity Shares in physical form. No separate CAFs for Equity Shares in physical and/or dematerialized

form should be made. If such CAFs are made, the CAFs for physical

Equity Shares will be treated as multiple CAFs and is liable to be rejected. In case of partial allotment,

allotment will be done in demat option for the Equity Shares sought in demat and balance, if any, will be

allotted in physical Equity Shares.

INVESTORS MAY PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EQUITY SHARES OF THE COMPANY CAN BE TRADED ON THE

STOCK EXCHANGES ONLY IN DEMATERIALIZED FORM.

Procedure for availing the facility for allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue in the electronic form is as

under:

Open a beneficiary account with any depository participant (care should be taken that the beneficiary

account should carry the name of the holder in the same manner as is exhibited in the records of the

Company. In the case of joint holding, the beneficiary account should be opened carrying the names of the

holders in the same order as with the Company). In case of Investors having various folios in the Company

with different joint holders, the Investors will have to open separate accounts for such holdings. Those Equity

Shareholders who have already opened such beneficiary account(s) need not adhere to this step.

For Equity Shareholders already holding Equity Shares of the Company in dematerialized form as on the

Record Date, the beneficial account number shall be printed on the CAF. For those who open accounts later

or those who change their accounts and wish to receive their Equity Shares pursuant to this Issue by way of

credit to such account, the necessary details of their beneficiary account should be filled in the space

provided in the CAF. It may be noted that the allotment of Equity Shares arising out of this Issue may be

made in dematerialized form even if the original Equity Shares of the Company are not dematerialized.

Nonetheless, it should be ensured that the depository account is in the name(s) of the Equity Shareholders

and the names are in the same order as in the records of the Company.

Responsibility for correctness of information (including Investor’s age and other details) filled in the CAF vis-

à-vis such information with the Investor’s depository participant, would rest with the Investor. Investors

should ensure that the names of the Investors and the order in which they appear in CAF should be the same

as registered with the Investor’s depository participant.

If incomplete / incorrect beneficiary account details are given in the CAF the Investor will get Equity Shares

in physical form.

The Equity Shares allotted to applicants opting for issue in dematerialized form, would be directly credited to

the beneficiary account as given in the CAF after verification. Allotment advice, refund order (if any) would

be sent directly to the applicant by the Registrar to the Issue but the applicant’s depository participant will

provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s depository account.

Renouncees will also have to provide the necessary details about their beneficiary account for allotment of

Equity Shares in this Issue. In case these details are incomplete or incorrect, the application is liable to be

rejected.

Basis of Allotment

order of priority:

a) Full allotment to those Equity Shareholders who have applied for their Rights Entitlement either in full or in

part and also to the Renouncee(s) who has/ have applied for Equity Shares renounced in their favour, in full

or in part.


151

b) Allotment to the Equity Shareholders who having applied for all the Equity Shares offered to them as part of

the Issue and have also applied for additional Equity Shares. The allotment of such additional Equity Shares

will be made as far as possible on an equitable basis having due regard to the number of Equity Shares held

by them on the Record Date, provided there is an under-subscribed portion after making full allotment in (a)

and (b) above. The allotment of such Equity Shares will be at the sole discretion of the Board / Committee of

Directors in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, as a part of the Issue and will not be a

preferential allotment.

c) Allotment to Renouncees who having applied for all the Equity Shares renounced in their favour, have

applied for additional Equity Shares provided there is surplus available after making full allotment under (a),

and (b ) above. The allotment of such Equity Shares will be at the sole discretion of the Board/Committee of

Directors in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, as a part of the Issue and not preferential

allotment.

After taking into account allotment to be made under (a) above, if there is any unsubscribed portion, the same

the full extent of their Rights Entitlement in the Issue. Subject to compliance with the Takeover Code, the

renunciation, if any, made by any other shareholder. The Promoter has provided an undertaking dated June 23,

Issue, if any, will not result in change of control of the management of the Company and shall be exempt in terms
