Essay for Question No.

Directions (Q. 71-80):Read the passage carefully and

answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases

are given in bold to help you locate them while answering

some of the questions.

Though cash is king in business, it is the simplest item tovalue under any method of valuation. To value cash there is

no need to use complex methodologies such as discounted

cash flow (DCF) or to make complex assumptions such as

growth rate or discount rate. Nor do you need expert valuers

(like you need for valuation of fixed assets like land and

buildings). The general assumption is cash is always valued

at face value.

The current controversy on valuation in the proposed merger

of Cairn India with Vedanta Resources centres on valuation of

cash and raises a doubt about the above principle of valuation

of cash.

Valuing cash at face value may not be valid in some

exceptional circumstances. While valuing the company or

shares, if the company has cash surplus of a normal

magnitude the recommended method is to value the

business and add the; cash surplus at face value to arrive at

the total value of the company.

Then the question arises what is to be done in case the cash

surplus is large. Before answering this we need clarity on what

the definition of large cash surplus is.

When the surplus generated is held as cash in the normal

course of business cycle or accumulated and held temporarily

as cash to meet a large defined investment within a short

period of time (say maximum of two or three years) then suchcash fall within the definition of normal cash surplus to be

valued at face value.

In the case of Cairn, cash is about one third of book value,

Q.71

which doesn't come under the definition of cash surplus in the

normal course of operation. Hence in this case cash can he

valued a face value only if it is held for a specific identified

investment to be made within a few years and the business

valuation factors the financial benefit flowing from such

identified investment.

There is also a possible exception to this rule of valuation, i.e.valuing large cash surplus at face value without a specific

investment plan.

This exception applies when the price consideration of the

company or share with large cash surplus is paid to the

current owner in cash. In this case the seller sells cash for

cash and hence it is fair to value cash at face value

irrespective of the size of cash surplus and there is no need

for investment plan for large surplus cash

In case of valuation for mergers, the above exemption can't

apply as the shareholders of the merging company generally

get shares, and not cash.

Maybe in recognition of this principle, the merger scheme of

Cairn with Vedanta provides for some cash (in the form of

short-term security) component in the swap ratio offered to

Cairn shareholders. Despite this, some minority shareholders

of Cairn object to the valuation, possibly because this portion

of compensation is less than20 per cent of cash surplus of

Cairn.

Then comes the complex question of how to value cash,

which is larger than cash surplus in the normal course of

business, nor held for a specific investment and the

consideration for transfer of cash is not paid in cash.

The cash in this case is to be valued based on opportunistic

value for the seller and the alternative cost of raising such

cash for the buyer.

Both these values are extremely subjective and vaguer than

well-defined methods of valuations such as DCF, profit

multiple or replacement value. Hence, they will always be

subject to controversies.
