� Unwinding of structured credit

instruments

and savings� Reversion to more solid notions of

collaterals

� Bailouts of institutions considered “too

big to fail” and the associated moral

hazard

� Serious potential deflationary

cycle in the US that could

become a global contagion� Novel regulatory regimes and a new

paradigm for financial institutions

There could be a strong negative impact on global markets

Page 4

India has suffered as a result of the global turmoil

Page 5

� Lack of leverage in India

� Very small market for structured credit instruments in India

Page 9

India’s services share is relatively high for an emerging economy

Page 10

�Consumer spending has been affected by inflation

�Corporate spending has been slow to due lack of fund raising options

� In early 1999, Warburg Pincus analyzed likely changes in India’s regulatory

environment and tariff policies.

Due Diligence - The Bottom Line

Page 53

Doing Due Diligence US vs. India

Page 54

Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence

1. Know the mindset of the target company

Comprehensive information required for the due diligence process is not readily

available with the Indian companies due to lack of detailed management information

system. For example, detailed schedule of margins by product and by customer may

not be easy to come by with these companies. The forecasting methodologies of such

small and medium sized Indian companies are not very robust, often leading to

simplistic projections. The forecasts tend to be aggressive, without a track record to

boot.

Page 55

boot.

2. Understand key differences in doing a due diligence in western countries and

in India

Going in for a due diligence process with the right expectations is a critical success

factor for US investors. The quality of financial statements, financial infrastructure

and business and business process will be lower and less explicit than western

investors are accustomed to. This results in the need to explore more risk areas and

take more time for the due diligence.

Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence

3. Listen for the word “N0'”:

Asian culture is less direct in some respects. Western investors rarely hear theirIndian counterparts say “no” even though they do not mean “yes''.

4. Look out for Hidden Skeletons:

Inadequate disclosures impede the ability to access critical information that mightalter the investor's perception with regard to the value of the company, environmentissues and aggressive tax positions among others.

Page 56

issues and aggressive tax positions among others.

5. Evaluate Corporate Governance:

Companies are slowly realizing the importance of corporate governance and some ofthe leading organizations are benchmarking to global standards. Some others aremoving towards improvement.

6. Keep an Eye on Related Party Transactions:

As a hangover of the licensing raj, Indian businesses are generally structured asconglomerates or group businesses which create extensive related party transactions.

Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence

7. Avoid Legal Minefields

Weak corporate governance is compounded with tardy legal systems where disputeresolution often remains a distant goal.

8. Communicate with Care

In any transaction, communication must be handled with utmost care. Sensitivity toIndian culture with regard to dealing with the owners who are also the entrepreneursof the company will help to make the venture more rewarding.

Page 57

of the company will help to make the venture more rewarding.

9. Manage the Control Freaks

It is often observed that founding members of a start-up will refuse to give up controland settle for a minority ownership stake (a common condition for many start-ups inexchange for Private Equity funding).

10. Think Global, Act Local

Firms with a presence in India have a distinct edge due to their wide networks ofcontacts and experience of the Indian business environment.

� Betting on aggressive forecasts

� Loss making business

� Entering as a minority stakeholder

� Ambiguity in government policies

US-bound Transactions 2006H1 – 2008H1Industry Breakdown of US-bound Transactions in 2008H1

� In the first half of 2008, Indian companies accounted for a total of 34 US-bound acquisitions

with a cumulative transaction value of over $5.1 billion. This represents a 15% decrease in

terms of volume and a 30% drop in value compared to the first half of 2007.

� Deals less than $100 million accounted for over 90% of the total transaction volume but only

10% of the reported transaction value. Whereas, it was the opposite for deals greater than

$1 billion in size, which comprised 10% of the total volume and 90% of the reported value.

No transactions were reported in the $100 million to $1 billion range. This reflects the

dichotomy facing Indian companies – well-capitalized large Indian companies are buying

value assets for cheap while mid-size firms are adopting a cautious approach.

Summary of US-bound acquisitions by Indian companies in 2008

Page 72

value assets for cheap while mid-size firms are adopting a cautious approach.

� Mega-size deals included Tata Chemicals acquisition of General Chemicals for $1 billion,

GMR Energy’s purchase of 50% equity in Intergen for $1.1 billion and Sterlite Industries

announced bid for Asarco valued at $2.6 billion.

� IT/ITES remains the most acquisitive industry capturing over 50% share of the total US-

bound transactions by volume, followed by life sciences (10%), metals & mining (6%) and

agriculture (6%). Other industries accounted for less than 3% each in terms of volume.

� Over 70% of the transactions involved acquisition of 100% stock for cash consideration.

These transactions generally had an earn-out structure, where a portion of the deal value is

paid on future milestones.

� High debt-to-equity ratio and low earnings in the US is creating value-buying

opportunities for Indian companies.

� Increasing competitive pressures, emerging global opportunities and the decline

in overseas trade and investment barriers are encouraging Indian companies to

seek acquisitions in the US.

� Need to gain scale in terms of size, product offerings and geography.

� Change from a cost-centric approach to a profit-margin focus.

Cross border acquisition trends

Page 73

� Change from a cost-centric approach to a profit-margin focus.

� Need to climb up the value chain

� Large consumer markets, transparent business processes, robust legal

environment, advanced technologies, skills and knowledge capital.

� As US markets tend to be mature and saturated, it often proves difficult

for Indian companies to gain market share without acquisitions.

� Easy access to the world’s largest market and customer base through

marketing and distribution channels of the acquired company.

US-bound acquisitions are propelled by several factors

Page 74

� Increased competition within the domestic markets.

� The global slowdown has created opportunities to buy US-based

companies at lower valuations.

� Acquisition of specific skills, knowledge and technology.

Case Study – Gitanjali’s acquisition of Samuels

Gitanjali Gems Ltd., a DTC sightholder, is one of the largest integrated diamond and jewelrymanufacturers and retailers in India. Its operations include sourcing of rough diamonds fromprimary and secondary source suppliers in the international market, cutting and polishing therough diamonds for export to its international markets, and the sale of diamonds and otherjewelry through Gitanjali's retail operations in India, as well as in international markets.

Page 75

�Find an ideal platform for future growth

Samuels operates 97 retail jewelry stores in 18 states and also sells jewelry online. Measuredby the number of retail locations, Samuels is the tenth largest specialty retailer of finejewelry in the United States.

Samuels’ acquisition was in line with Gitanjali's objective to conform to a vertically integratedmodel, one that benefits from all the efficiencies that are realized through control of theentire supply chain, inclusive of retail.
