PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND USE OF MARKET DATA

Unless stated otherwise, the financial information used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is derived
from the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007,
and 2006 prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP and the Companies Act and restated in accordance
with SEBI Regulations, as stated in the report of the statutory Auditors.

The fiscal year of Tunip commences on April 1 and ends on March 31 of a particular year. Unless stated
otherwise, references herein to a fiscal year (e.g., fiscal 2009), are to the fiscal year ended March 31 of a

In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sum of the
amounts listed are due to rounding-off.

crore is the unit in the Indian numbering system representing 10 million or 100 lac and one lac is the unit
in the Indian numbering system representing 100,000; thus, for example, Rs. 10 crore equals Rs. 100
million. All references to ‘$’, ‘US$’ or ‘U.S. Dollars’ are to United States Dollars, the official currency of the
United States of America.

Market data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been obtained from CARE Research Report of

been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but that their accuracy and completeness are not
guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Although the Company believes the market data used

SECTION I - RISK FACTORS

An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider all
the information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before
making any investment decision relating to the Equity Shares. If any of the following risks actually occur, the
business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could suffer and the market 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 the Company faces; additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it
currently believes to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider all the information
contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the financial statements included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus starting from page 97. The financial data in this section is as per the Company’s financial
statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP.

Note: Unless specified or otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, the Company is not in a
position to quantify the financial or other implications of any risks mentioned in this section.

Materiality

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

ƒ Some events may not be material individually, but may be found material collectively.
ƒ Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively.
ƒ Some events may not be material at present but may have material impact in the future.

The risk factors are as envisaged by the management. Wherever possible, the financial impact of the risk
factors has been quantified.

INTERNAL RISK FACTORS AND RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY

Particulars Amount (Rs. in Lacs)


Income Tax related 37.01

Company.

The proposed objects for which the funds are being raised have not been appraised by any Bank or
Financial Institution and the fund requirements are based primarily on Management estimates. There is

Tunip Agro Limited

3. The implementation of the present project is at a very preliminary stage. Any delay in implementation
of the same may increase the capital cost and also affect returns from the project.

The Company is planning to set up its own manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka. The Company has
estimated the cost and drawn the implementation schedule accordingly. Presently, the implementation is
at a very preliminary stage. The Company is in the process of acquiring the land on lease basis and the
construction activity would begin thereafter. Any delay in implementation of the same will increase the
capital cost and also affect the realization of returns from the expansion.

4. The Company has not yet acquired the land for setting up of manufacturing facilities and also not yet
identified the premises for Mumbai office.

As per the cost of the project Rs. 172.00 lacs is to be invested towards the land and land development for
the proposed project. The Company proposes to set up manufacturing facilities at one of the EPZs of Sri
Lanka. In this regard it has identified two probable locations at one of the EPZs of Sri Lanka namely
Katunayake and Biyagama but not yet entered into any agreement for the same. The Company has also
not yet identified the location for its office premises at Mumbai towards which an amount of Rs. 400.00

13. The success of the company largely depends on its management and key managerial personnel and
the ability of the Company to retain these key managerial personnel.

which may limit the Company’s discretion in this matters.

RISK FACTORS EXTERNAL TO THE COMPANY

1. The Company will be exposed to foreign exchange risks and country risks.

The Company will have substantial exposure to the foreign exchange related risks since the Company
proposes to set up manufacturing unit at Sri Lanka and majority of the capital and revenue expenditure
will be dominated in US Dollars where as the sales will be primarily dominated in Indian Rupees. Any
increase or decrease in the Indian Rupee against US Dollar could impact the cost of the sales and
profitability of the Company.

Further the operations of the Company may be adversely affected by the political, social and economic
conditions of Sri Lanka in which the Country operates and proposes to expand and the state bilateral
relations India has with Sri Lanka can also to some extent influence the operations of the Company.

2. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian Economy and cause the business to
suffer

Any natural calamities in the form of earthquakes, tsunami, floods, drought etc and the extent and
severity of these natural disasters have an impact on the Economy of the Country. Any negative impact of
natural disasters on the Indian or Sri Lankan economy could adversely affect the business and market
price of the equity shares of the Company.

3. A slowdown in economic growth in India and Sri Lanka could materially and adversely affect
economic conditions in India, and thereby adversely impact the results of operations and financial
condition.

The performance and growth of the Company is based on the health of the overall Indian Economy.
There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India in the past. The Indian economy is
also largely driven by agriculture sector which highly depends on the quality of rainfall during the
monsoon season and therefore difficult to predict. This has resulted in lower purchasing power for Indian
Consumers which in turn results in lower or no demand for various consumer products including
readymade juices etc. which will drastically affect the business of the Company.

equity shares may not develop.

PART I

SECTION II - INTRODUCTION

Summary of the Industry and Business of the Company

The information under the Section “Industry Overview” is derived from CARE Research Report of May, 2010.
Investors should note that this is only a summary and it does not contain all information that should be considered
before investing in the Company’s equity shares. You should read the entire Red Herring Prospectus, including the
information in “Risk Factors” and the “financial statements”.

Industry Overview

India being a hot and tropical country, people have always preferred thirst quenchers such as fruit juices
and aerated drinks. In comparison to other developed countries, packaged fruit juices are not so popular
in India and the per capita consumption remains significantly low giving a huge market with its
untapped potential. Moreover, changing demographics and a trend towards healthy living is pushing
demand for fruit juices higher. Historically, many factors did not support the distribution system of fruit
juices in the country like tough weather conditions, high import taxes, low quality of local fruits and
other logistical challenges. In India, the yield is low and per hectare productivity of fruits like oranges,
pineapples or even mangoes is not amongst the highest in the world.

Interestingly, in the past decade, due to increased urbanization and globalization fruit juice consumption
has grown significantly in India with double digit growth rates. Higher spending power and increasing
health awareness is resulting in huge untapped demand for packaged fruit juices in the country.

In terms of total beverage consumption globally, India contributes approximately 10% and trails only
behind the US and China. India’s non-alcoholic beverage market which comprises hot drinks, carbonated,
non-carbonated and health drinks, is estimated to be approximately Rs. 23,000 crore and is growing at a
CAGR of 7% in last 4 years. The non-carbonated beverage market is estimated to be approximately Rs.
6,400 crore and comprises mainly of bottled water (with 50% share), packaged juices (29.6% share),
functional drinks (10.4% share) and other non-carbonated drinks (9.8% share). Based on above share
break-up, the juice market stands at Rs. 1,900 crore growing at a CAGR of approximately 22% in the last 4
years and is expected to grow at a robust rate of 19% y-o-y for the next 4 years.

Tunip Agro Limited

India’s per capita non-alcoholic beverage consumption is remarkably low at 4.8 litres p.a. when compared
to global average of approximately 85 litres p.a. and regional average (South Asia) of 27 litres p.a. Such
low consumption rate could be the key driving factor for the non-carbonated drinks segment.

Market Composition – Organized and Unorganized


The fruit juice market in India is still significantly fragmented with the unorganized market comprising
approximately 86%. People are still accustomed to buying fresh juices from street vendors and
consuming homemade juices. However, given increase in travelling, health consciousness amongst
Indian consumers and the convenience factor associated with packaged juices, the market can
accommodate more players as it grows from here. Going forward, it is expected that packaged juice
market to increase their share as there is a change in consumer trend from homemade juices to packaged
juices since they provide consistent quality and offer off-seasonal fruit juices year around. In addition,
with the increase in demand from institutional commercial buyers such as hotels, restaurants, pubs/bars,
supermarkets, hospitals, and increased domestic and foreign tourists arrivals can expect organized
packaged juices to increase its share and volume y-o-y.

Market Size

India’s enormous population in its cities and small towns is a huge potential and boon for any packaged
food manufacturing company. Major factors like increasing urbanization, convenience of packaged food,
increasing health awareness, hygiene-consciousness, higher spending power, low per-capita
consumption level, will provide immense growth possibilities for fruit juice companies. The Indian fruit
juice industry is growing at a robust rate of 19% y-o-y and is expected to double its market size to Rs
3,800 crore from the current size of Rs. 1,900 crore by FY2013-14. Traditionally, the fruit juice market is
more acceptable in Northern and Western Indian markets, due to climatic conditions prevailing
compared to the rest of the country.

Industry Characteristics

1. Different category of Juices – Although many fruit based beverages proclaim to be fruit juices but only
the ones with fruit pulp content greater than 85% (ideally 100%) are technically classified as ‘fruit juices’.
The remaining fall in the category of either fruit nectar or fruit based-drinks depending upon pulp
content as illustrated in the chart below.

2. Perpetual marketing and promotion- As fruit juices does not fall into the basic food criteria in India, it
needs constant marketing push through advertisement, promotional campaigns and nouveau packaging
techniques. It is imperative for the producers to keep the end-consumers engaged in their products by
introducing new flavours and differentiate themselves from the competition. They have to target
consumers by offering single-serve multipack formats for lunchboxes or products more specifically
tailored for health benefits. (like detoxification effects and presence of antioxidant agents).There are
instances when consumer targeting is even more specific based on different occasions and locations.
Success of a new product relies a lot on the message communicated by packaging as it is the first point of
contact between the consumer and the company.

3. Pricing – It can be make or break situation for any fruit juice producer in the country if they fall short or
exceed the average price range. India being a price sensitive market, pricing is of primary importance for
any producer as they have to balance a very thin line while simultaneously maintaining their margins.
Pricing below par is perceived of lacking quality while above par pricing makes it beyond the range of
the masses. It can safely assume that market for premium and super premium fruit juices in the country
which is primarily imported is very limited, if any mainly because of pricing.

4. Number of Substitutes – The list of substitutes and alternate beverages to fruit juices market is endless.
From milk based products to carbonated cola drinks backed by their inspirational advertisements, the
fresh fruit juice lacks the marketing punch so successfully managed by their counterparts in the beverage
industry. There is direct competition from the traditional tea, coffee, lime & lemonade, mineral water and
coconut water market which is largely from the huge unorganized parallel industry run by local juice and
tea street vendor. So apart from competition from within the industry players, the fruit juice companies
have to battle it out with the number of other substitutes and the unorganized market for the huge ‘throat
war’ or ‘sip war’.

5. Distribution Networks – For any FMCG or food company distribution network is the key for a greater
market share. Not only does a better distribution channel increases the product reach to masses but it also
boosts brand awareness in the most rural areas. Companies spend a large portion of their budget on
maintaining and expanding their distribution networks. New entrants who wish to launch their products
at national level need to invest huge sums of money on establishing a sound distribution system where
the product reaches the market from farm gate to food plate with minimum spoilage.

convenient foods where no tedious preparation is involved & are in much demand by the working class.

Earlier the Company used to get its products manufactured from the manufacturing facilities of Schreiber
Dynamix Dairies Ltd. Presently since April 01, 2010, the Company has tied up with Lanka Milk Foods
(CWE) PLC (LMF) & formed a Joint Venture called “Indo- Lanka Exports (Pvt.) Ltd.” This venture has
been formed to carry out the manufacturing activities of the Company. The main terms and conditions of
the Joint Venture are given on page 76 of this DRHP.

500-liter per hour pilot plant. The company will leverage this R & D center to provide its consumers the
best quality product at an affordable price.
Quality Control: From the very beginning Tunip has focused heavily on the quality of its products. The
Company has always tied with well-respected names in the industry, such as Godrej Industries Limited,
and Schreiber Dynamix Dairies Limited for its manufacturing facilities and has ensured the highest
quality of its products. After moving to Sri Lanka, the company has tied-up with Lanka Milk Foods
(LMF). LMF is the largest dairy in Sri Lanka which has high quality control checks. Besides this the
Company has its own quality control executives at the manufacturing facility to oversee the quality of the
materials produced. They make sure that all process parameters are followed during production.
Business Strategy:
The strategy of the Company is to continue to drive profitable growth by pursuing the core values
namely delivering superior juice quality; reasonable price, better distribution etc. The Company believes

Setting up own manufacturing facilities: In order to meet growing demand and to increase the market
share the Company has decided to set up its own manufacturing facilities in one of the EPZs in Sri Lanka.
The proposed sites, Katunayaka and Biyagama are located near Colombo city. The location has cost
effective advantages which will increase the profitability of the Company in the future.
Increasing retail presence in India Over the past five years the company has setup a strong distribution
infrastructure that can scale up to meet the increasing demand of its product. To make sure that its
product is available at all venues where juice is consumed it has two distribution channels (traditional
retail and organized retail) and plans to setup a third channel for institutions. The institutions channel
will target, hotels, restaurants, clubs, etc.

that taste as close as possible to the fresh fruit. The company plans to setup a Research and Development
center, which will help the Company in coming up with new innovative flavors and tastes to suit the
customers.
Enhance recognition of the brand “ONJUS” in India

The Issue is being made through the 100% Book Building Process where upto 50% of the Issue to the

the QIB Portion shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Mutual Funds only and the

Illustration of Book Building and Price Discovery Process (Investors should note that this example is solely
for illustrative purposes and is not specific to the Issue)

Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assuming a price band of Rs. 40/- to Rs.
48/- per share, issue size of 6,000 equity shares and receipt of nine bids from bidders, details of which are
shown in the table below, the illustrative book would be as below. A graphical representation of the
consolidated demand and price would be made available at the bidding centres’ during the bidding
period. The illustrative book as shown below indicates the demand for the shares of the Company at
various prices and is collated from bids from various investors.

Bid Quantity Bid Price (Rs.) Cumulative Quantity Subscription


500 48 500 8.33%
700 47 1,200 20.00%
1,000 46 2,200 36.67%
400 45 2,600 43.33%
500 44 3,100 51.67%
200 43 3,300 55.00%
2,700 42 6,000 100.00%
800 41 6,800 113.33%
1,200 40 8,000 133.33%

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the issuer is able
to issue the desired quantum of shares is the price at which the book cuts off i.e. Rs. 42/- in the above

13
Tunip Agro Limited

example. The issuer, in consultation with the BRLM will finalize the issue price at or below such cut-off
price i.e. at or below Rs. 42/-. All bids at or above this issue price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are
considered for allocation in respective category.

RATIONALE OF THE PROJECT

Out of the total project cost of Rs. 5081.85 lacs an amount of Rs. 3421.85 lacs would be utilized for setting
up of manufacturing facilities at Sri Lanka. The main advantages of setting up of the facilities at Sri Lanka
can be put forth as under:

• The main raw material used in the fruit juices is fruit concentrate. Except for mango and guava pulp all
other concentrates are imported from various parts of the world such as Brazil, Spain, Israel, Turkey,
Poland, Indonesia, China, etc. These concentrates attract 36% import duty in India and these concentrates
account for around 40% of the cost of final product. Import of these raw materials for export in Sri Lanka
attracts 0% import duty. And under the Indo-Lanka Free Trade Agreement there is no import duty
charged on imports of packaged fruit-based juices and beverages.

• Besides raw material, packing material such as Tetra Pak paper and corrugated box trays (secondary
packaging) attracts 4% excise duty in India. Whereas import of these packing materials in Sri Lanka is
duty free. Also since these materials are exported from India, the suppliers pass on the export benefit in
terms of reduction in prices, which substantially reduce the product cost.

• As mentioned above, the Sri Lanka has a very strategic location from a logistics point of view. Since India
has water on three sides, sea transport is used to supply products in the western, eastern and southern
regions of India. Sea freight is considerably lower than road transport in India. For supplies in the
northern region the rail transport is used, which is more economical than road transport. At present the
transport cost of the company is approximately 10% of the total sales. By using Sri Lanka, as its base and
by a combination of sea and rail transport, this cost is expected to come down to 5% of the total sales of
the Company.

• Energy cost in India is set to rise with the growing consumption of fuels. At present the cost of energy in
India is approximately Rs. 7 per unit. Whereas in Sri Lanka the cost of energy is Rs. 4 per unit. This low
cost further reduces the processing cost of the product.

• Considering the above Tunip has decided to set up its own manufacturing facilities in one of the EPZs in
Sri Lanka. The proposed sites being looked into by the Company are Katunayaka and Biyagama.

The other benefits by setting up a project in EPZ of Sri Lanka are as follows:

• A single window clearance for incorporating a Company in EPZ

• Duty free import of machinery, raw material and packing material

• 7 year tax holiday for all upcoming manufacturing units for non- traditional goods (these includes fruit
based beverages)

• The Government of Sri Lanka facilitates the procurement of support services such as water, power, waste
treatment and telecommunications.

• Foreign currency accounts are permitted which helps the Companies from getting exposed to Sri Lankan
Rupees.

SECTION III - ABOUT THE ISSUER COMPANY

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The information in this section is derived from CARE Research Report of May 2010. It has not been independently
verified by the Company, the Book Running Lead Manager or their respective legal advisors, and no representation
is made as to the accuracy of this information, which may be inconsistent with information available or compiled

Indian Fruit Juice Industry

Indians have always had a penchant for fruit juices and has been a part of their lifestyle given its
nutritional and refreshing value. Traditionally, juices were freshly squeezed either at home or processed
in front of consumer by street-side kiosks. Earlier, people were reluctant to try packaged fruit juices
because of taste (altered by preservatives) and quality issues but with the advent of Tetra Pak and
increased urbanism there is a sea change and consumers now prefer packaged fruit juices given its
convenience and hygiene factor. There are 3 broad varieties of fruit based beverages, namely - fruit drinks
(with <20% pulp content), fruit nectar (with pulp content between 20-85%) and fruit juices (with pulp
content >85%).

Global Overview

The global fruit juice market is dominated by North American and Western European countries where
per capita consumption of fruit juices far outpaces developing countries primarily due to higher income
levels and increased awareness of healthy living and eating. Globally, the growth in fruit juice
consumption can be attributed to lower transportation costs, technological advancements in production
& storage and evolving international trade agreements making the industry more international in scope.
Countries such as the Canada, Germany, US, Ireland, Greece, the Netherlands and other Northern
European countries are amongst the highest in per capita consumption of fruit juices and nectars.
Globally, in terms of preference, orange juice (including mandarins) is three times more popular than
apple and then followed by flavours such as grapes, pineapples, grapefruits, lemons & limes, cranberries
and more.

Tunip Agro Limited

In the fruit juice industry, sourcing quality fruits is of primary importance and some of the major
exporters of oranges are Brazil (which exports more than 90% of its produce), the US (mainly the state of
Florida, which exports 10% of its produce) and the Mediterranean region while for apple the major
exporters are the US, China and Austria. The US is the leading exporter of apple juice, grapefruit juice
and grape juice. Thailand and Israel are leading exporters of pineapples and other citrus juices
respectively. Countries in Southern Hemisphere, such as Argentina, Australia and South Africa are
increasing their presence in international trade by providing off-season citrus fruits to the Northern
Hemisphere due to better transportation and packaging technologies now available.

Indian Fruit Juice Market - Overview

India being a hot and tropical country, people have always preferred thirst quenchers such as fruit juices
and aerated drinks. In comparison to other developed countries, packaged fruit juices are not so popular
in India and the per capita consumption remains significantly low giving a huge market with its
untapped potential. Moreover, changing demographics and a trend towards healthy living is pushing
demand for fruit juices higher. Historically, many factors did not support the distribution system of fruit
juices in the country like tough weather conditions, high import taxes, low quality of local fruits and
other logistical challenges. In India, the yield is low and per hectare productivity of fruits like oranges,
pineapples or even mangoes is not amongst the highest in the world.

Interestingly, in the past decade, due to increased urbanization and globalization fruit juice consumption
has grown significantly in India with double digit growth rates. Higher spending power and increasing
health awareness is resulting in huge untapped demand for packaged fruit juices in the country.

In terms of total beverage consumption globally, India contributes approximately 10% and trails only
behind the US and China. India’s non-alcoholic beverage market which comprises hot drinks, carbonated,
non-carbonated and health drinks, is estimated to be approximately Rs. 23,000 crore and is growing at a
CAGR of 7% in last 4 years. The non-carbonated beverage market is estimated to be approximately Rs.
6,400 crore and comprises mainly of bottled water (with 50% share), packaged juices (29.6% share),
functional drinks (10.4% share) and other non-carbonated drinks (9.8% share). Based on above share
break-up, the juice market stands at Rs. 1,900 crore growing at a CAGR of approximately 22% in the last 4
years and is expected to grow at a robust rate of 19% y-o-y for the next 4 years.

Tunip Agro Limited

India’s per capita non-alcoholic beverage consumption is remarkably low at 4.8 litres p.a. when compared
to global average of approximately 85 litres p.a. and regional average (South Asia) of 27 litres p.a. Such
low consumption rate could be the key driving factor for the non-carbonated drinks segment.

Market Composition – Organized and Unorganized


The fruit juice market in India is still significantly fragmented with the unorganized market comprising
approximately 86%. People are still accustomed to buying fresh juices from street vendors and
consuming homemade juices. However, given increase in travelling, health consciousness amongst
Indian consumers and the convenience factor associated with packaged juices, the market can
accommodate more players as it grows from here. Going forward, it is expected that packaged juice
market to increase their share as there is a change in consumer trend from homemade juices to packaged
juices since they provide consistent quality and offer off-seasonal fruit juices year around. In addition,
with the increase in demand from institutional commercial buyers such as hotels, restaurants, pubs/bars,
supermarkets, hospitals, and increased domestic and foreign tourists arrivals can expect organized
packaged juices to increase its share and volume y-o-y.

Market Size

India’s enormous population in its cities and small towns is a huge potential and boon for any packaged
food manufacturing company. Major factors like increasing urbanization, convenience of packaged food,
increasing health awareness, hygiene-consciousness, higher spending power, low per-capita
consumption level, will provide immense growth possibilities for fruit juice companies. The Indian fruit
juice industry is growing at a robust rate of 19% y-o-y and is expected to double its market size to Rs
3,800 crore from the current size of Rs. 1,900 crore by FY2013-14. Traditionally, the fruit juice market is
more acceptable in Northern and Western Indian markets, due to climatic conditions prevailing
compared to the rest of the country.

Industry Characteristics

6. Different category of Juices – Although many fruit based beverages proclaim to be fruit juices but only
the ones with fruit pulp content greater than 85% (ideally 100%) are technically classified as ‘fruit juices’.
The remaining fall in the category of either fruit nectar or fruit based-drinks depending upon pulp
content as illustrated in the chart below.

43
Tunip Agro Limited

7. Perpetual marketing and promotion- As fruit juices does not fall into the basic food criteria in India, it
needs constant marketing push through advertisement, promotional campaigns and nouveau packaging
techniques. It is imperative for the producers to keep the end-consumers engaged in their products by
introducing new flavours and differentiate themselves from the competition. They have to target
consumers by offering single-serve multipack formats for lunchboxes or products more specifically
tailored for health benefits. (like detoxification effects and presence of antioxidant agents).There are
instances when consumer targeting is even more specific based on different occasions and locations.
Success of a new product relies a lot on the message communicated by packaging as it is the first point of
contact between the consumer and the company.

8. Pricing – It can be make or break situation for any fruit juice producer in the country if they fall short or
exceed the average price range. India being a price sensitive market, pricing is of primary importance for
any producer as they have to balance a very thin line while simultaneously maintaining their margins.
Pricing below par is perceived of lacking quality while above par pricing makes it beyond the range of
the masses. It can safely assume that market for premium and super premium fruit juices in the country
which is primarily imported is very limited, if any mainly because of pricing.

9. Number of Substitutes – The list of substitutes and alternate beverages to fruit juices market is endless.
From milk based products to carbonated cola drinks backed by their inspirational advertisements, the
fresh fruit juice lacks the marketing punch so successfully managed by their counterparts in the beverage
industry. There is direct competition from the traditional tea, coffee, lime & lemonade, mineral water and
coconut water market which is largely from the huge unorganized parallel industry run by local juice and
tea street vendor. So apart from competition from within the industry players, the fruit juice companies
have to battle it out with the number of other substitutes and the unorganized market for the huge ‘throat
war’ or ‘sip war’.

10. Distribution Networks – For any FMCG or food company distribution network is the key for a greater
market share. Not only does a better distribution channel increases the product reach to masses but it also
boosts brand awareness in the most rural areas. Companies spend a large portion of their budget on
maintaining and expanding their distribution networks. New entrants who wish to launch their products
at national level need to invest huge sums of money on establishing a sound distribution system where
the product reaches the market from farm gate to food plate with minimum spoilage.

SWOT Analysis (Packaged Fruit Juice Industry)

Source: CARE Research

Growth Drivers

Growth in Rural and Urban consumption: Rural area (constituting 70% of India’s population) will
continue to grow faster on back of economic stimulus package, rising rural income and government
spending on rural infrastructure which will improve the supply chain. With increase product penetration
at rural level it is believed that demand scenario for fruit juices to improve in small cities and towns
where people will be willing to experiment with new products. At present, urban India accounts for
approximately 67% of total FMCG consumption while rural India accounts for the remaining 33%. As a
result, demand from urban areas would be the key growth driver over the long term based on changing
lifestyle which is in tune with their counterparts in developed countries where fruit juice consumption is
high.

Higher disposable income: One of the single biggest factors that can positively influence fruit juice
consumption is personal disposable income which has been growing at a CAGR of 13.2% in the last 3
years. As per the trend seen in developed markets, higher disposable income is an indication of higher
per capita juice consumption. Changing lifestyles and increased consumption in a rapidly growing
economy has led to a greater need for a healthy lifestyle in India's cities which should lead to increased
packaged fruit juice consumption. In sum, it is believed that higher disposable income in India backed by

its growing young & earning population is expected to favour the consistent growth for the fruit juice
industry.

Retail growth: India’s retailing is far from maturing with huge growth potential and will be crucial for
the growth of fruit juice market. With increased consumer demand and higher disposable income, the
retail industry in India is growing at 20-22% y-o-y and is expected to reach US$500 bn by FY2011 from the
current size of US$420 bn. Organized retail will increase to 6.8% of the entire retail market and is
expected to reach US$35 billion during the same period. According to industry experts, the next phase of
growth is expected to come from rural markets. The government allows 100% FDI only in cash and carry
wholesale format and 51% in single-brand retailing. It is believed that opening up the sector by allowing
51% or more FDI in multi-brand retailing will increase competition and will be beneficial for consumers
in general leading to higher FMCG and food related spending.

Private Sector Spending & Investment: The cumulative FDI received by the packaged food processing
industry from April 2000-August 2009 stood at US$878.32 million. According to the Union Minister for
Food Processing Industries, the central government is envisaging an investment of US$21.50 billion in the
food processing industry over the next five years, a major chunk of which is planned to attract from the
private sector and financial institutions. Food processing industries have been put in the list of priority
sectors for bank lending while fruit and vegetable processing units have been completely exempted from
central excise duty. PepsiCo India is estimated to invest approximately US$152.30 million to set up 4 new
food and beverages projects by end-2012. These investments signal growing confidence among market
players in the growth potential in India’s packaged food and beverage industry.

Increase in Hotels & Foreign tourists: Major investments are expected in the hospitality industry to meet
short-fall in hotel rooms to service increasing domestic and foreign tourists arrivals (FTA) y-o-y. The
number of hotel rooms are set to increase from 48,475 rooms in 2008-09 to 94,115 rooms in 2013-14 to meet
the demand while the Ministry of Tourism, reported FTAs during January 2010 were 491,000 as
compared to 422,000 in January 2009, an increase of 16.4%. It is expected that the boost in hospitality and
tourism sector to be beneficial for packaged fruit juice industry as people will be more comfortable
ordering high quality and aseptic packed products.

Competition and major players

The packaged fruit juice industry is highly competitive given the number of big and small players in the
organized sector coupled with the highly fragmented unorganized sector. The Herfindahl Index of
concentration for India’s fruit juice industry in FY2009 was 0.254 and has improved greatly from 0.073 in
FY2002. Moreover, the list of alternate beverages and substitutes for fruit juices is endless as explained
above. In terms of market leadership, PepsiCo’s Tropicana and Dabur’s Réal fruit juices contribute
approximately 80% of the organized branded fruit juice market in India. The relatively recent major entry
in this market is Coca Cola’s Minute Maid which is trying to gain market share. Given the huge growth
potential in Indian market we believe there’s enough room for more players and gain sizeable market
share if they get their strategy right.

Government Regulations and Policies

Overall, there are 10 Acts of legislation which regulate the food industry in India of which a majority are
voluntary. The most relevant of the food laws that are applicable for the fruit processing industry along
with their respective implementing agencies are outlined in the table below:

The fruit and vegetable sector in India is regulated by FPO and is administered by Ministry of Food
Processing Industries. The FPO contains all specifications and quality control requirements on the
production and marketing of processed fruit and vegetables. All such processing units are required to
obtain a license under the FPO and periodic inspections are carried out. Processed fruits and vegetables
products manufactured or imported in the country must meet the minimum FPO standards. The Act
gives guidelines of various aspect of fruit process like minimum fill, nutritive sweeteners, general quality
requirements and labeling requirement.

The basic statute of PFA Act, 1954 protects Indian consumers against impure, unsafe and fraudulently
labeled foods. The PFA standards and regulations apply equally to all domestic and imported products
and cover various aspects of food processing and distribution. These include food colour, preservatives,
pesticide residues, packaging and labeling and regulation of sales. The PFA focuses primarily on the
establishment of regulatory standards for primary food products, which constitute the bulk of the Indian
diet. At times the PFA appears to be drafted in a manner that goes beyond the mere establishment of
minimum product quality specifications, by prescribing recipes for how food products are to be
manufactured.

Standards for weights and measures are administered by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and
Public Distribution under the Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 and related rules and
notifications. All weights or measures must be recorded in metric units and certain commodities can only
be packed in specified quantities (weight, measure or number).

At the time of food importation, products are required to have a valid shelf life or residual shelf life, of
not less than 60% of their original shelf life.

Some of the important policy support that the ministry of food processing has taken for fruit processing
industry is as follows:

• Formulation of the National Food Processing Policy

• Declared as priority sector for lending in 1999

• 100% FDI on automatic route

• Excise duty waived on fruits and vegetables processing from 2000/01

48
Tunip Agro Limited

• Income tax holiday for fruits and vegetables processing from 2004/05

• Customs duty reduced on freezer van from 20% to 10% from 2005/06

• Implementation of Fruit Products Order

Outlook

Going forward, there are several factors that offer great potential which can lead to increased demand for
fruit juice in India. The growth of fruit juices in India is expected to be significant with higher disposable
income, urbanization (changing lifestyles), progress in infrastructure for cold chain supply and the
convenience of hygienically packaged food items. Consumers are getting more health conscious and
there is a wellness trend where consumers are seen migrating from carbonated drinks to fruit juices and
nectars which are relatively low in sugar content. Emerging markets should offer long term growth
opportunities given the fact that they are trailing behind developed markets in terms of packaged fruit
juice consumption level. India being a hot tropical country there always exists demand for beverages and
over the years there has been a steady increase in capacity, production and capacity utilization in the fruit
juice industry. In 2009, there was an increase in average price per unit because of high food inflation, but
despite the recession & increased prices, many beverage companies reported high growth rate of 20-30%
which shows the resilience of the Indian markets.

In India, there is a growing trend among young population to mix white spirits with various types of
fruit juices for preparing cocktails in restaurants and during public or private parties. The women
population in India also prefers white spirits over other liquors. The high growth rate in white spirit
segment in India is expected to push demand for fruit juices across various hotel chains, pubs, bars and
restaurants. Several factors such as consistency in quality and taste, year-round availability and
hygienically packed fruit juices are proving to be successful in increased acceptance of fruit juices in the
country. Moreover, we expect that with increased organized retailing and consumerism in the country

50
Tunip Agro Limited

there will be higher visibility for packaged fruit juices on shelves of various supermarkets chains which
should lead to higher sales given its convenience and handling factor.

The export market for Indian made juices and processed fruit which has been growing at a CAGR of
26.2% in the last 5 years to Rs 1,098.52 crore in FY08-09 to grow at current levels. The Indian fruit juice
industry is growing at a robust rate of 19% y-o-y and is expected to double its market size to Rs. 3,800
crore from the current size of Rs. 1,900 crore by FY2013-14. For many companies, India has been
approved as a major sourcing base for mango pulp and other exotic fruits for their international markets
like South East Asia and Middle East where consumer preference is similar to India.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Overview:

Tunip was originally incorporated as “Tunip Agro Private Limited” on September 03, 2004 with Registrar
of Companies Maharashtra, Mumbai. The company was later converted into a Public Limited Company
from January 29, 2008 and fresh certificate of incorporation was received. Subsequently the name of the
Company was changed to “Tunip Agro Ltd.” The Company is engaged in the business of production and
marketing of fruit juices and other fruit- based beverages under the brand name of “ONJUS”. The
Company has consciously invested in creating market for fruit juices and has successfully established the
brand “ONJUS” in the market.

India such as Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Chennai, Rajahmundry, Lucknow, Kolkata, Bareilly,
Haldwani, Dehradun, Ludhiana, Parwanoo, Jammu, Patna, Srinagar and Hyderabad.

In order to meet growing demand and penetrate further into the market Tunip has decided to set up its
own manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka. The Company has identified two probable locations for the
proposed project in one of the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) of Sri Lanka namely Katunayake and
Biyagama which are within 30 kms. from Colombo city.

Tunip has identified its target market as Young Urban Professionals who are highly educated and in
economically sound position and in the age group of early twenties to mid thirties. Increasing awareness
of health and hygiene consciousness among people and higher disposable income of middle class in India
has resulted in higher consumption of branded fruit juices. Packed fruit juices come under the category of
convenient foods where no tedious preparation is involved & are in much demand by the working class.

Earlier the Company used to get its products manufactured from the manufacturing facilities of Schreiber
Dynamix Dairies Ltd. The Company along with Lanka Milk Foods (CWE) PLC (LMF) has formed a Joint
Venture called “Indo- Lanka Exports (Pvt.) Ltd.” Presently the products for the company are
manufactured through this joint venture by utilizing the manufacturing facilities of Lanka Milk Foods.
The main terms and conditions of the Joint Venture are given on page 76 of this DRHP.

During the Financial year 2008-09 Tunip Exports Pvt. Ltd. (TEPL) and Pyramid Infoway Pvt. Ltd. (PIPL),

ONJUS brand was passed over to Tunip. For the details of merger please refer to page 68 of this DRHP.

Products:

Juice is the liquid naturally contained in fruit or vegetable tissue. Juice is prepared by mechanically
squeezing fresh fruits or vegetables. Juice may be prepared at home from fresh fruits and vegetables
using variety of hand or electric juicers. Many commercial juices are filtered to remove fiber or pulp, but
high-pulp fresh orange juice is a very popular beverage. Juice may be marketed in concentrate form,
sometimes frozen, requiring the user to add water to reconstitute the liquid back to its “original state.”
For more convenient consumption and widespread availability juices are reconstituted from fruit
concentrate before packaging for retail sale. Common methods for preservation and processing of fruit
juices include canning, pasteurization, freezing, evaporation and spray dying.

52
Tunip Agro Limited

The products of Tunip are classified in Juices and nectars. The category wise details of each product are
given as under.

JUICE: It entirely consists of 'liquid fruit'. It contains neither colorings nor preservatives. It is made from
fruit juice concentrate. Direct juice is filtered as it is obtained from the fruit and bottled or stored for later
bottling. In order to obtain concentrated fruit juice, in the country of origin, water is extracted from the
fruit to maintain the quality and prolong shelf life of the juice and reduce the transport and storage costs.
In the country of destination, the juice is restored to its original properties by adding water up to the
original juice strength. This category of fruit based beverage contains 100% fruit pulp. Tunip offers Onjus
Orange, Onjus Orange Gold, Onjus Apple and Onjus Punch in this category.

ONJUS Orange

ONJUS Orange Juice was the first product the company launched in the year
November 2004. It is their most successful and highest selling product with 30%
contribution towards the total turnover. Though oranges are grown in India it is not
possible to extract juice from them and pack them as they are high in limonene
content which gives the juice sour taste after processing. Hence Tunip imports
oranges from Brazil and Spain.

The company’s R&D department has worked very closely with their suppliers like Louis Dryfus and
Tetra Pak etc in order to ensure the right taste and quality of the juice.

The Company has tailored this product to meet the requirements of the Indian consumer by adding just
right quantity of sugar, but at the same time maintaining a sour tinge that natural oranges have. The

Collaborations in marketing set up

The Company has not entered into any collaboration for marketing its products.

Approach to Marketing and Proposed Marketing set up

The Company’s marketing strategy is to cater to the masses. The Indian retail market is divided in three
main segments: Modern (organized) trade, traditional retail trade, and institutional trade.

Modern (organized) trade:

Since the advent of modern retail a considerable contribution of sales in the juices industry is from the
organized retail sector. These retail chains comprise of Aditya Birla Retail Limited, Spencer’s Retail
Limited, Reliance Retail Limited, Bharti Wal-Mart, Pantaloon Retail India Limited, Vishal Retail Limited,
Food World Supermarket Limited, Express Retail Private Limited, Wadhawan Retail Limited, Home
Store India Limited, Food Express retail limited, Hypercity Retail India Limited, etc. The Company’s
products are widely distributed & sold in these retail outlets.

Traditional Retail trade:

The traditional retail consists of standalone supermarkets, provisional and general stores. Even though
the number of street vendors is higher in the supermarkets and hypermarkets, the sale of branded juices
is increasing day by day. The Company has explored this market effectively through the sales force, C&F
Agents and super stockist appointed all over India.

Institutional trade:

The last but equally important sector in the customer base is the institutional trade. This consists of sales
to hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, catering services, airlines, railways, education campuses, business
parks, etc. The Company proposes to target this market in the near future by increasing the supply of
products through setting up manufacturing plant and appointing highly efficient sales team specifically
catering to institutional trade.

The company has definite strategy which is implemented to target the mainstream retail market. This is
targeted through a distribution network of local distributors. Below is a step-by-step marketing strategy
that is proposed to be adopted by the Company for entering untapped towns or cities:

1. Appointment of Regional Sales Manager (RSM), Area Sales Managers (ASM), sales officers (SO) and
Clearing and Forwarding agents (CFA)
2. Distributor and outlet listing

57
Tunip Agro Limited

3. Distributor appointment
4. Territory Planning with distributors
5. The complete sales staff (RSM, ASM, ASE and SO) along with distributor cover each route within a
territory placing the products
6. Area specific promotional campaign to create and increase consumer awareness

To ensure the best service to the retail trade at a national level, the company has devised nationwide
criteria for distributor appointment. The distributors are appointed based on the market potential: which
is divided into High, Medium and Low potential market. High potential markets are serviced on a
weekly basis. Medium and low potential markets are serviced fortnightly and monthly basis respectively.
A distributor can service up to 40 outlets per day and usually have 600 outlets in their territory. Based on
the above the Company determines the number of distributors to be appointed in a town.

Juice Manufacturing Process:

A wide range of drinks can be made using extracted fruit juice or fruit pulp as the base material. Many
juices are drunk as a pure juice without the addition of any other ingredients, but some are diluted with
sugar syrup. The types of drink made from fruit can be separated into two basic types;

- Those that are drunk straight after opening


- Those that are stored for multiple use.

For all the fruit based beverages, the first stage is the extraction of juice or pulp from the fruit. The
following are the key manufacturing stages:

Blending of Dearation of Homogenizing Sterilization Tetra Packing in


fruit the blended at 200 bar of the juice packing Trays and
concentrate, concentrate based on the juice Shrink
DM water, variant wrapping
Ingredient
solution and
sugar syrup

• Blending of Fruit Juice Concentrate in De-mineralized water with ingredients and sugar syrup:
The concentrate is imported at -20 degree Celsius. Before the manufacturing process begins, this fruit
juice concentrate is kept out for thawing and kept at 7 degree Celsius for 12 hours. After 12 hours this
juice concentrate is taken for blending. Before adding the juice concentrate in the blending tank, all
the quality parameters are checked whether it is matching with the raw material specifications
standardized by the company. After putting in the blending tank, the de-mineralized water at plus
two degree Celsius temperature is added in the concentrate till it achieves the specification of the
finished juice. If the juice is with added sugar, then the sugar syrup is also added during this process.
The stirrer is kept in the insulated blending with a high-speed agitator and after 20 minutes, the
parameter of this liquid is checked with the finished goods specification. If needed, minor corrections
are done at this time. From here the product goes to de-aerator.

• Deaeration:
During preparation of juice with high-speed agitator, some air is mixed with the blend (juice). To
remove this air from the juice, this process is done where the air is vacuumed and the same air is
passed through a condensation process and re-blended in the juice. After this the blend goes to the
homogenizer.

58
Tunip Agro Limited

• Homogenization:
The blend of juice is homogenized at high bar pressure to avoid separation of water or sedimentation.

• Sterilization:
Here the product is taken for high temperature for 4 – 30 seconds and then cooled down to 25 degree
Celsius and sent to the packaging machine.

• Packaging :
Packaging machine is form-filled machine and works on volume. Here the juice is packed in Tetra
Pak. If it is a home consumption pack, then it goes directly to the carton pack. If it is a portion pack
then it goes to the straw applicator first, followed by the carton packer. After the carton packer it
goes through shrink film and then palletized.

• During the process of packaging every hour one sample of Tetra Pak is drawn for sterility check and
for checking the seal of the pack. For sterility check, the pack is kept for three days in incubation and
if found ok, then the product is cleared for dispatch. Every hour one sample is also drawn to check
the specifications to match with the standardized finished goods specifications.

Any fruit can be used to make fruit juice, but the most common ones include pineapple, orange,
grapefruit, mango and passion fruit. Some juices, such as guava juice, are not filtered after extraction and
are sold as fruit nectars.

The company intends to buy readymade fruit juice concentrate or pulp from the reputed manufacturer or
suppliers and further process it in Juice, Nectar or Snapple and shall pack it in Tetra pak or Bottles and
market the same under the brand name of “ONJUS”.

Supply Chain:

Currently the Company purchases fruit juice concentrate (raw material) from the various parts of the
world and packing materials from the Tetra Pak, India and imports the same at the Colombo port, from
the port raw material is transported to the factory of Lanka Milk foods situated close to Colombo city for
processing and then it is converted in to the finished product and exported to India for distribution and
transported to various depots across the country and to local Clearing and Forwarding Agents, who in
turn distribute the products to the retails outlet and institutional customers for end consumption.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & NOTES TO ACCOUNTS

1. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (‘GAAP’) in India,
mandatory accounting standards, as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006
and as adopted consistently by the Company. The interim financial statements are prepared to
conform to the Accounting Standard 25 on ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as specified in the
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2010. Accounting
policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially
adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in accounting policy
hitherto in use. Management evaluates all recently issued or revised accounting standards on an
ongoing basis.

2. Revenue/Income and Cost/Expenditure are generally accounted on accrual as and when they are
earned or incurred. In case of fee based income, revenue is recognized based on the stage of
completion of assignment and the bills raised. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Examples of such estimates include estimates for provision for doubtful debts, future obligations
under employee retirement benefit plans and estimated useful life of fixed assets. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.

3. The Company creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that
probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible but not probable
obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, entail an outflow of resources.
When there is an obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no
provision or disclosure is made.

4. Sales are recognized net of returns, discounts, incentives, rebates & claims.

5. Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less depreciation.

6. Inventories are valued as-Raw material, Packing Material & Consumables at cost, Finished Goods at
lower of cost & net realizable value. Cost is determined on the basis of first-in first-out method. In
respect of finished goods, cost includes appropriate share of manufacturing overheads, wherever
applicable.

7. Obsolete and slow moving inventories are identified at the time of physical verification of inventories
and, where necessary, a provision for such inventories is recognised or the same is written-off.

8. Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction.
Realised gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions during the year are recognised in the
Profit and Loss Account. Monetary assets and monetary liabilities that are determined in foreign
currency are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of balance sheet. The resulting
difference is recorded in the Profit and Loss Account.

103
Tunip Agro Limited

9. Investments are valued at cost, in the opinion of the management; the decline in value of investments
if any is on account of market forces & is not of permanent nature, hence no provision has been made
for such diminution.
10. The current assets, loans & advances are fully recoverable at the values stated if realized in the
ordinary course of business.

11. Balances of Sundry Debtors, Sundry Creditors, Loans & Advances & other current liabilities are
subject to confirmations/reconciliations.

12. Inventories as valued & certified by the management.

13. The company is primarily engaged in business of fruit juices & milk based drinks, which are
governed by the same set of risk & return & therefore the entire business is covered under one food
segment.

general economic conditions of Sri Lanka and any significant changes in Free Trade Agreement between
India and Sri Lanka will affect the business of the Company.

management team and other resources. Any delay in implementation of its strategy and its growth and
expansion plans could impact the Company’s roll out schedules and cause cost and time over runs.

activities of the food processing industry may also affect the results of operation.

• Increasing competition in the industry;

India and worldwide financial markets and economy, and such volatility could constrain our ability to do
business.

• Changes in the foreign exchange control regulations, interest rates and tax laws in India.

“unusual” or “infrequent”.

2. Significant economic changes that materially affected or are likely to affect income from continuing
operations

commodity prices, could affect the business, including the future financial performance, shareholders’
funds and ability to implement strategy and the price of the Equity Shares.

3. Known trends or Uncertainties that have had or are expected to have a material adverse impact on
sales, revenue or income from continuing operations

There are no known trends or uncertainties that have or had material adverse impact on the income, costs
and profits of the company from continuing operations.

4. Future changes in relationship between costs and revenues, in case of events such as future increase in
labour or material costs or prices that will cause a material change are known

Increase in the cost of the raw material or any other intermediate products in which the Company deals,
will affect the profitability of the company.

5. The extent to which material increases in net sales or revenue are due to increased sales volume,

material such as food concentrates are imported from various parts of the world depending on their
availability. Hence the business is not seasonal and no major cyclical trends are observed in this industry.

Issue. However, the Bidder can revise the Bid through the Revision Form, the procedure for which is
detailed under the paragraph entitled ― “Build up of the Book and Revision of Bids”.
(f) The Syndicate/the SCSBs will enter each Bid option into the electronic bidding system as a separate
Bid and generate a Transaction Registration Slip, (‘TRS’), for each price and demand option and give
the same to the Bidder. Therefore, a Bidder can receive up to three TRSs for each Bid cum Application
Form.

in the manner described in ― “Escrow Mechanism - Terms of payment and payment into the Escrow
Accounts” on page 158.

mode, the Designated Branch of the SCSB shall verify if sufficient funds equal to the Bid Amount are

uploading such Bids with the Stock Exchanges.
(i) If sufficient funds are not available in the ASBA Account, the Designated Branch of the SCSB shall
reject such Bids and shall not upload such Bids with the Stock Exchanges.

147
Tunip Agro Limited

(j) If sufficient funds are available in the ASBA Account, the SCSB shall block an amount equivalent to
the Bid Amount mentioned in the ASBA Bid cum Application Form and will enter each Bid option
into the electronic bidding system as a separate Bid and generate a TRS for each price and demand
option. The TRS shall be furnished to the ASBA Bidder on request.
(k) The Bid Amount shall remain blocked in the aforesaid ASBA Account until finalisation of the Basis of
Allotment and consequent transfer of the Bid Amount against the Allotted Equity Shares to the
Public Issue Account, or until withdrawal/failure of the Issue or until withdrawal/rejection of the
ASBA Bid cum Application Form, as the case may be. Once the Basis of Allotment is finalized, the
Registrar to the Issue shall send an appropriate request to the Controlling Branch of the SCSB for
unblocking the relevant ASBA Accounts and for transferring the amount allocable to the successful
Bidders to the Public Issue Account. In case of withdrawal/failure of the Issue, the blocked amount
shall be unblocked on receipt of such information from the Registrar to the Issue.

Bids at Different Price Levels and Revision of Bids

1. The Bidder can bid at any price within the Price Band. The Bidder has to bid for the desired number
of Equity Shares at a specific price. Retail Individual Bidders applying for a maximum Bid in any of
the bidding options not exceeding Rs. 100,000 may bid at Cut-Off Price. However, bidding at Cut-
Off Price is prohibited for QIB or Non-Institutional Bidders bidding in excess of Rs. 100,000 and
such bids shall be rejected.
2. Retail Individual Bidders who bid at the Cut-Off Price agree that they shall purchase the Equity
Shares at any price within the Price Band. Retail Individual Bidders bidding at Cut-Off Price shall
deposit the Bid Price based on the higher end of the Price Band in the Escrow Account. In the event
the Bid Price is higher than the subscription amount payable by the Retail Individual Bidders who
Bid at Cut off Price (i.e., the total number of Equity Shares allocated in the Issue multiplied by the
Issue Price), the Retail Individual Bidders who Bid at Cut off Price, shall receive the refund of the
excess amounts from the Escrow Account.
3. In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders who
had Bid at Cut-off Price could either (i) revise their Bid or (ii) make additional payment based on
the higher end of the Revised Price Band (such that the total amount i.e., original Bid Price plus
additional payment does not exceed Rs. 100,000 for Retail Individual Bidders, if the Bidder wants
to continue to Bid at Cut-off Price), with the members of the Syndicate to whom the original
Bid was submitted. In case the total amount (i.e., original Bid Price plus additional payment)
exceeds Rs. 100,000 for Retail Individual Bidders the Bid will be considered for allocation under the

the incremental amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid. With respect
to the ASBA Bids, if revision of the Bids results in an incremental amount, the relevant SCSB shall

the payment in the form of cheque or demand draft if any, to be paid on account of the upward
revision of the Bid at the time of one or more revisions by the QIB Bidders. In such cases, the

to his or her address as per the Demographic Details received from the Depository.

Multiple Bids

A Bidder should submit only one Bid (and not more than one). Two or more Bids will be deemed to be
multiple Bids if the sole or first Bidder is one and the same.

The Company reserves the right to reject, in its absolute discretion, all or any multiple Bids in any or all
categories. In this regard, the procedures to be followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple
applications are given below:

160
Tunip Agro Limited

1. All Bids will be checked for common PAN and will be accumulated and taken to a separate process file
which will serve as a multiple master document.

2. In this master, a check will be carried out for the same PAN numbers. In cases where the PAN numbers
are different, the same will be deleted from this master.

3. The applications will be electronically matched for Depository Participant’s Identity (DP ID) (Client ID)
numbers. If applications bear the same numbers, these will be treated as multiple applications.

In case of a Mutual Fund, a separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the Mutual Funds and
such Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the Mutual Funds will not be treated as multiple Bids
provided that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme for which the Bid has been made.

The Company, in consultation with the BRLM reserves the right to reject, in their absolute discretion, all
or any multiple Bids in any or all categories

Permanent Account Number or PAN

Pursuant to the circular MRD/DoP/Circ-05/2007 dated April 27, 2007, SEBI has mandated Permanent
Account Number (PAN) to be the sole identification number for all participants transacting in the
securities market, irrespective of the amount of the transaction with effect from July 2, 2007. Each of the
Bidders, should mention his/her PAN allotted under the IT Act. Applications without this information
will be considered incomplete and are liable to be rejected. It is to be specifically noted that Bidders
should not submit the GIR number instead of the PAN, as the Bid is liable to be rejected on this ground.

Unique Identification Number (“UIN”)

With effect from July 1, 2005, SEBI had decided to suspend all fresh registrations for obtaining UIN and
the requirement to contain/quote UIN under the SEBI MAPIN Regulations/Circulars vide its circular
MAPIN/Cir-13/2005. However, in a recent press release dated December 30, 2005, SEBI has approved
certain policy decisions and has now decided to resume registrations for obtaining UIN’s in a phased
manner. The press release states that the cut off limit for obtaining UIN has been raised from the existing
limit of trade order value of Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 500,000 or more. The limit will be reduced progressively.
For trade order value of less than Rs. 500,000, an option will be available to investors to obtain either the
PAN or UIN. These changes are, however, not effective as of the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus
and SEBI has stated in the press release that the changes will be implemented only after necessary
amendments are made to the SEBI MAPIN Regulations.

Therefore, MAPIN is not required to be quoted with the Bids.

Right to Reject Bids

In case of QIB Bidders, the Company in consultation with the BRLM may reject Bids provided that the
reasons for rejecting the same shall be provided to such Bidders in writing. In case of Non-Institutional
Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders, our Company has a right to reject Bids based on technical
grounds. Consequent refunds shall be made by RTGS/NEFT/NES/Direct Credit/cheque or pay order or
draft and will be sent to the Bidder‘s address at the Bidder‘s risk. With respect to ASBA Bids, the

Bid Amount in the Bidder‘s bank account, the respective Designated Branch of the SCSB ascertains that
sufficient funds are not available in the Bidder‘s bank account maintained with the SCSB. Subsequent to
