THE ECONOMIC TIMES | MUMBAI | WEDNESDAY | 13 NOVEMBER 2013 SNEHA SHAH MUMBAI P oor corporate governance standards, suspicion of fraud and a general environ- ment of distrust are forcing sev- eral global private equity funds to order investigations into their portfolio companies. Officials from more than half-a-dozen such funds told ET they have either ap- pointed or are in the process of hiring corporate investigators to ferret out crucial information on their portfolio companies. Known as ‘post-investment due diligence’, these investigations revolve around the financial, le- gal and corporate aspects of a company. “We are not sure that a couple of our portfolio compa- nies are actually growing at the stated pace. We are in the process of hiring a firm to help us ascer- tain that,” the managing partner of a global fund said on condition of anonymity. At least three such acrimonious confrontations have spilled out into public glare recently. Last month, PE funds General Atlan- tic and India Equity Partners, which had together invested $114 million in Fourcee Infrastruc- ture, a logistics firm, dragged the promoters to the Company Law Board on account of fraud after a six-month investigation. India Equity Partners and Bar- ings India had carried out a spe- cial audit at South-India based gold loan lender Manappuram Fi- nance with the help of global con- sulting firm KPMG. Institutional investors in MCX and NSEL have also ordered such a probe. For every reported case, at least half-a-dozen or more remain out of the radar as both company and investor are keen to avoid bad publicity. “We realised that the company’s clients suddenly stop- ped paying and receivables kept mounting,” another fund manag- er said, referring to his recent in- vestigations into a portfolio com- pany. “The order book seemed to be dwindling. We then sought help from a corporate investiga- tor and realised that many of the clients projected by the company were related parties and there was no real income.” The fund is now negotiating a quiet and ami- cable exit by selling the shares back to the promoters. Earlier, one of 10 investors would ask to analyse a portfolio company. Now, four of 10 are asking for such investigations, Reshmi Khurana, associate managing director, Kroll India, said. Kroll is a global corpo- rate investigations and due dili- gence services provider. Adds Pra- tibha Jain, partner and head north India at law firm Nishith Desai As- sociates: “The number of PE-relat- ed cases going for arbitration is rising and now, we are getting sig- nificant requests for post-invest- ment due diligence.” Firms such as Pricewaterhouse- Coopers India, KPMG, and De- loitte have also seen a steady in- crease in requests for such ‘post-investment’ reviews. "Wherever PE fund managers have sniffed something is amiss, they are ordering such probes,” Sanjeev Krishnan, executive di- rector and head of private equity transaction advisory services at PwC, said. “However, people want to find amicable solutions rather than upsetting the apple cart," Krishnan added. “We have seen that in most cases where there is need for post invest- ment due diligence, the PE fund has restricted access to good quali- ty information on the perform- ance of the target company,” said Kroll India’s Khurana. “A large proportion of PE investments in India are minority stakes where post-deal access to good quality in- formation is a real issue.” An increasing number of PE funds have gone through the or- deal of seeing financials shared during initial pre-investments change dramatically post invest- ment. “When there is a pure fraud perpetrated by the promoters, it becomes a fiduciary duty of the fund managers to take an action,” says Jain. But no all investiga- tions unearth a fraud or end up in court. Many get resolved amica- bly too. “We do not find fraud in all cases. In many cases, our investi- gation may identify operational or accounting irregularities. The PE fund then uses that informa- tion to work with the promoters to bring the business back on track,” says Khurana. Of the 3500 investments PE funds have made over the past decade, only about 500 have seen exits. Many investments still waiting for exits may have gov- ernance issue. “When the economy was grow- ing fast a few years ago, many in- vestors hurried into their invest- ment decisions overlooking governance issues and other red flags,” says Sanjay Mehta, found- ing partner, BMR Advisors. “Its adverse impact is being felt now as businesses with poor govern- ance are first to go down when economy slows.” BMR gets a lot of requests from funds to ascertain true financial health of their in- vestee companies, in particular identify potential areas of mis- statements, impact of related par- ty transactions and leakages.

SOMA DASNEW DELHI

Puducherry-based drug-maker GuruFcure has comeunder the Drug ControllerGeneral of India’s (DCGI)scanner for allegedly sub-mitting fabricated datawhile seeking approval formanufacturing seven fixeddose combination drugs.

“The investigative teamconcluded that all the datasubmitted (by the contractmanufacturer in case of theseven combination drugs) isfabricated and not authen-tic,” the central drug regula-tor told the drugmakerwhile rejecting its applica-tion last week in a letter,which was reviewed by ET.

GuruFcure did not respondto ET’s email query.

As per the company’s web-site, its clients include lead-ing pharma companies suchas Abbott, Alkem, Glenmark,Wockhardt, Unichem and In-tas Pharma, among others.The contract manufacturer,which started operations in2007, calls itself “one of theleading pharmaceutical for-mulation manufacturers inIndia”. While ET did not in-dependently verify GuruF-cure’s claims, a representa-tive of Wockhardt and aGlenmark spokespersonsaid the two companies were“not currently associatedwith this firm”.

GuruFcure had earlier thisyear sought the regulator’sapproval to make varying

combinations of antibioticsCefixime and Ofloxacin, Ce-fixime and Azithromycin,Cepfodoxime and Azithro-mycin, among other combi-nation drugs. “It was observ-ed that the documents maynot be authentic,” the drugregulator said in its noticesent to the company.

After an investigation con-cluded that the data submit-ted by the company wasfudged, the regulator on

May 14 askedthe companyto explain itsposition. Thecompany sub-mitted its re-ply on May 27.

“After exam-ining the re-ply, it is ob-served thatyou have notsubmittedany satisfac-tory reply andfor most of

the points, you have givenclarification as ‘typograph-ical error’, which is not ac-ceptable,” the regulator’sletter said.

The Drug Controller Gener-al of India has been proddingdrugmakers since Januaryto submit safety and efficacydata for combination drugswith the central drug regula-tor. If manufacturers fail todo so, the sale of these drugswill be forbidden in the coun-try, it has warned.

In a Nutshell

Narendra Modi’s letter to thePrime Minister complaining un-fair treatment meted out to thestate in allocation of natural gas isbeing tossed around in the Centralgovernment with the oil ministrysaying that the issue is outside itsturf. Modi had made natural gas al-location a political issue in thestate’s assembly elections sayingthat the state, which is India’s big-gest gas consumer, was being de-

nied itsshare by theCentre. The

UPA government countered this byadvertising statistics of naturalgas allocation, where the state wasshown getting the lion’s share.

Last May, the prime minister’s of-fice had forwarded Modi’s letter tothe petroleum ministry. Subse-quently, it sent a reminder and di-rected the oil ministry in August torespond to the BJP leader’s letter.

Gujarat, India’s biggest gas con-sumer, is complaining that theacute shortage of gas has left hugepower capacities idle, leading to amassive burden on the state as thepower purchase agreement (PPA)requires it to pay certain fixedcosts to the power producer, irre-spective of the quantum of elec-

tricity generated.“Natural gas-fired projects are

running out of gas and unable togenerate any power. As per thepower purchase agreements withthe producers, we are shelling outclose to .̀ 1,300 crore to Essar, CLPIndia, NTPC and other public sec-tor companies in terms of fixedcosts even without getting a singleunit of electricity. Gujarat govern-ment has been writing to the Cen-tre very often to allocate more natu-ral gas to avoid burden onelectricity consumers, but we donot have much hope in view of in-adequate domestic production,”said a government of Gujarat offi-cial requesting anonymity.

The oil ministrysays that the mattermust be resolved bythe power ministry.“The chief ministerof Gujarat has raisedissues relating to thepurchase of power,produced from RLNG

(re-gasified liquefied natural gas)based power stations by NTPC Vi-dyut Vyapar Nigam, which per-tains to ministry of power,” the oilministry recently wrote to the pow-er ministry.

The Gujarat government wantsNTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam to pur-chase electricity generated from R-LNG- fired plants and blend it withpower procured from other re-sources to market it to the powerdeficit states. The company, con-trolled by the central government,is already blending expensive solarpower with cheaper electricity pro-duced from conventional resourcesto promote unconventional energy,government officials said.

Modi blamed the Centre afterGujarat’s power generation utili-ties Essar, Torrent Power and CLPIndia were compelled to shut downtheir almost 5,000 MW generationcapacity this year because ofdwindling natural gas suppliesfrom Reliance Industries-operat-ed KG-D6 block.

OUR BUREAUMUMBAI

Mumbai civic authorities onTuesday pushed through ahuman barricade to beginpreliminary procedures toempty out the 35 illegallybuilt residential floors ofCampa Cola Compound inup-market Worli. The Su-preme Court-ordered dead-line for eviction was 11am.

The housing complex, com-prising seven high-riseapartment towers built inthe 1980s, has flouted con-struction norms. Civic au-thorities plan to demolishthe 102 apartments builtabove the permitted fivefloors as per the top court’sFebruary 27 order.

A little past the evictiondeadline, senior officials ofMunicipal Corporation ofGreater Mumbai (MCGM),about 400 police personnel,officials from Brihanmum-bai Electric Supply andTransport (BEST), Mahana-gar Gas and the fire depart-ment moved in to survey thebuildings and search the ille-gally-built floors for resi-dents. Slogan-shouting resi-dents in ‘Save Campa Cola’black tees tried to stop theirentry, even as two bulldozerswere stationed outside thehousing complex.

“There won’t be any demo-lition today; we will discon-nect water, electricity andgas supply to the illegal

apartments,” MCGM deputycommissioner KishoreKshirsagar told the protes-ters. “We are searching forvacant apartments, whichhave been voluntarily vacat-ed by the residents as theyhad given a declaration tothe Supreme Court.”

A day earlier, BEST offi-cials had issued notices tothe residents that electricitysupply to the illegally- builtapartments would be discon-tinued as per the court order.

The protesting residentshad locked the gates of thehousing complex and parkedcars inside the compound toblock the entry of officials.

Eviction had been pendingsince April, as the affectedresidents had managed toget extensions from thecourts to look for alternateaccommodation.

The protest has found back-ing from almost all politicalparties. According to the resi-dents, an all-party delegation,along with some affected resi-dents, had met chief ministerPrithviraj Chavan on Mon-day for a resolution. However,till Tuesday evening, theyhad not received any re-sponse from the CM’s office.
