In addition to the above, we have also assumed additional risk premium ranging between 2.5% - 3.0% to account for the risk of financial projections and considering small company discount. Based on our analysis, using data sourced from Aswath Damordaran’s NYU Stern University website for emerging markets relating to Engineering/ Construction sector (http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/) which uses Bloomberg as its basic source, average Cost of Capital for 677 listed companies averages at around 8.5% whereas Cost of Equity averages around 12.5%. This implies that the WACC (or Cost of Equity) assumed for discounting projected cash flows of the Company reflect appropriate discounts to take into account company specific risks. 2.9 Terminal value Based on our research using BMI® data, long term GDP growth rate for Oman is 3.2%, however considering the specific dynamics of the sector to which the Target relates we have estimated terminal value of 1.0% for the purposes of our valuation. Section 3: Valuation adjustments Based on the present value of the Free Cash Flow to the Firm (‘FCFF’) values arrived through applying aforementioned discount rates, we have considered following adjustments to arrive at the Free Cash Flow to the Equity (‘FCFE’): 1. Related party balances amounting to OMR 453,196 on the presumption that the loan from the related parties would be settled from the value; 2. Cash and Bank balances amounting to OMR 837 on the presumption that the aforesaid balance would be offered to the existing shareholder(s); 3. Interest Bearing Debt as Bank Overdraft amounting to OMR 124,028 has been deducted from the FCFF to arrive at the Equity value; and 4. As further detailed under Part 2 - Section 1.1 of this report, in the absence of an independent third party valuation report on the assets relating to the Building Materials Manufacturing plant, we have been unable to determine their fair market values and, have therefore, based on our understanding gathered from our discussions with the management of the Company, considered the net book value of subject assets to be Nil as on the Valuation Date. Accordingly, we have adjusted the equity value on account of the aforesaid adjustment.
