2. Risk Factors

RISK ENVISAGED BY MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENTS PROPOSALS THEREOF An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider all of the information in this Offer Document, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company could suffer, the trading price of the Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors mentioned below, the Company is not in a position to ascertain the financial and other implications of any of the other risks mentioned below.

2.1. Risk Factors Internal to the Company

1. Criminal Cases. § The State of Maharashtra has filed a criminal case against one of the promoters. For details of the Case please refer to the Para on “Outstanding Litigations and Defaults”. § A criminal case filed by an ex-employee against the Company claiming for reinstatement of employment with back wages is pending.

2. Variation in the Revenues & Profits: The Company’s revenues and profitability are dependent on several factors and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Therefore, the historical financial results may not be an accurate indicator of future performance. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The Company enters into contracts with its service subscribers for periods ranging between 3 – 12 calendar months. The entire subscription amount is raised in advance, so as to say, the services are being offered prepaid. This minimizes the risk of contractual loss. However risks do exist in the forms of loss in subscription renewal and/ or renewal of contracts at rates lower than historical average. So historical financial performance should not be relied upon, in its entirety, for an accurate indicator of the Company’s future performance.

3. Sector Diversification: The Company currently has focus on Internet and allied services and has the necessary people and skill only in this domain. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: Net 4 India Limited is an IP communication infrastructure and solution provider. It belongs to a conjoint subset of the IT and telecommunication industries. This offers a scope to execute unlimited diversification within the industry itself. The Company retains intellectual capital with cross-industry skills to harness expansion opportunities.

4. Dependence on Technology: The Company is, to a large extent, dependent on technology. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The Company is as much dependent on technology as any other player in the IT and/ or telecommunication services segment. The management recognises the risk of technology obsolescence and periodically reinvests in upgrading technology as well as technical skills.

5. Geographical Diversification: The Company has its physical presence in 11 cities in India. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The Company has direct presence in 11 cities, which account for the majority of Internet users in India. Beyond which it has presence in another 55 urban/ metropolitan areas through franchisee and channel partners. Similarly, it has presence in Middle East, Sub Saharan Africa and South East Asia through international channel partners. A number of services offered by the Company are available online, e.g. registration, and website hosting. Thus, its virtual presence exists in most parts of the world.

6. New Customer Acquisition: The Company’s growth depends on acquiring new customers for its services apart from increasing business from existing customers. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The Company earns much of its revenues through renewable service contracts. Thus the dependence on growth is upon renewal of existing contracts, increment of revenue accrual per existing customer and sourcing of revenue from new customers. In this way the Company distributes, and hence minimizes, its revenue risk.

7. Success in Attracting and Retaining Professionals: The Company’s success depends in large part upon its highly skilled software professionals and its ability to attract and retain these personnel. MANAGEMENTS PERCEPTION: Net4India’s business depends on quality professionals and their longevity with the company. The Company is successful in retaining its workforce and also investing in their skills improvement.

8. Dependency on Senior Management: The Company’s success depends in large part upon its senior management and key personnel and its ability to attract and retain them. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The top management is committed to the business of the Company and have pioneered foray into the current lines of businesses.

9. Outstanding Receivable: The Company has receivables of Rs. 470.20 lakhs, which is outstanding for a period of more than 6 months as of December 31, 2004. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The Company is making efforts to realize the outstanding receivables and is confident of recovering the dues.

10. Competitive Business Environment: The Company operates in a highly competitive business environment and it is likely to continue into the future. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The competition scenario for the Internet industry has changed since 2002 with industry size rationalization. At present, there are fewer, but more serious, players in the market. The Company maintains its competitiveness through innovative service offerings, responsive customer care and attractive pricing. The strategy will be maintained in the future.

11. Termination of Contracts: The Company’s service contracts with its clients can be terminated without cause and with little or no notice or penalty, which could negatively impact its revenues and profitability. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The Company’s services are mostly pre-paid for the period during which the services are rendered. Termination of service by customer at short notice thus does not affect the business, except to the extent of loss of a customer unit.

12. Losses by Group / Associate Companies: The following Group/ Associate Companies have made losses: § Trak Online posted loss of Rs. 16.78 lakhs for the year ending 31 March 2004: § Jiwan Financial Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2003 of USD 670.

MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The losses of the Associated companies do not affect the existing operations, as their relation with the Company is only to the extent of initial promotion.

13. Listing of Shares at DSE: The Delhi Stock Exchange has not listed 85,00,000 shares issued by the Company MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: In order to acquire the business of Trak Online and improve the liquidity, the Company came with another preferential Issue in March 2002 of 85,00,000 Equity Shares. The Company acquired the business of Trak Online under a slump sale agreement in March 2002 against issue of 75,00,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each at a premium of Rs. 10/-; and another 10,00,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each at a premium of Rs. 10/- against cash consideration. The value of preferential allotment was based on valuation report by M/s Uberoi, Sood and Kapoor Chartered Accountants.

DSE/LIST/5114/R/Q92 dated March 31, 2004 regarding the Allotment of 75,00,000 shares to M/s Trak Online Net India Pvt. Limited in 2002. Subsequently the Company had appointed M/s Bhandari Dastur Gupta & Associates, Chartered Accountants, a BSE approved valuor for the valuation of the assets against which 75,00,000 shares were issued to Trak Online. M/s Bhandari Dastur Gupta & Associates is expected to submit their Report shortly. Based on this Report, the Company will now make a representation before DSE to justify the allotment to Trak Online. Besides, this Offer to Sale will dilute the current promoter’s holding of equity to within levels prescribed by the SEBI. This should resolve the issue of pending listing with the DSE.

vi

DRAFT OFFER DOCUMENT

2. Globally Competitive Environment: The Company operates in a globally competitive business environment. Growing competition may force it to reduce the price of its products which may reduce its revenues and margins and/ or decrease its market share, either of which could have a materially adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: The Company endeavours to increase the scope, volume and value of business in a competitive and risk-prone environment. It may rationalize its product and service offerings from time to time to leverage core competency and maintain competitiveness.

3. Competition: The Company faces competition from the foreign and Indian service providers that offer similar services at competitive prices. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: In the last decade, Indian IT services demand has risen. This has been achieved in spite of the competition and the Company expects no change in the scenario in the foreseeable future.

4. Socio-Political and Economic Developments: The Company may face sudden untoward development in socio-political and economic environment that may harm the interest of the Industry’s growth. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: Since 1991, the Government of India has pursued policies of economic liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the expansionary growth of the private sector. Any change in the direction of economic policies, as also specific policies, relating to IT companies could affect the company. Significant changes in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could affect business and economic conditions in India and impact the Company’s business.

5. Disruption of Utility Services: Any disruption in the supply of power, IT infrastructure and telecom lines could disrupt the company’s business process or subject it to additional costs. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: To stand breakdowns and disturbances, the Company has built additional infrastructure facilities like UPS, Generator, Battery Backup, ISDN backup to Leased line, multiple vendor telecom lines etc. However all these are inter-related and are effective for short period disruptions. But long disruptions or disruptions at central service providers etc., can disturb the continuity of business. All backup facilities built (and to be added in future) are expensive and will add to costs.

6. Foreign Exchange Fluctuations: Parts of the company’s revenues and expenses are denominated in US Dollars and other international currencies. Thus the Company faces the risk of fluctuating exchange rates. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: During the FY 2003-04, only 4.75% of the Company’s total earnings and 9.42% of revenue expenditure was denominated in foreign currencies. Thus, its revenues are not directly affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

7. Post Offer Volatility in Price of the Script: After this Offer, the price of the company’s equity shares may be highly volatile or an active trading market for its equity shares may not develop. MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION: There has been no public market for the company’s equity shares till date and the price of the equity shares may fluctuate after this Offer. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the company’s equity shares will develop or be sustained after this Offer, or that the price at which the equity shares are initially offered will correspond to the prices at which they will trade in the market subsequent to this Offer. The trading price of the equity shares may fluctuate after this Offer due to a wide variety of factors including financial performance, competitive conditions, volatility in the stock markets and perceptions about the company and about investments in the IT sector.

8. Effect of Terrorism and Violence: Terrorist attack and other acts of violence or war involving India, the United States, and other countries could adversely affect the financial markets and adversely affect business.

Managements Perception: Since major part of the company’s revenues is from abroad, terrorist attacks or regional conflicts and such acts of violence will significantly hurt its revenues. Such acts impose more restrictions on travel, reduces commitment of customers to grow business relationships, adversely affects the financial markets and all these in turn will adversely affect the company’s business

9. Changes in Domestic Political and Economic Activities: Political, economic and social developments in India could affect Business, which may have a long-term effect on the profitability of the Company Management Perception: Since 1991, the Government of India has pursued policies of economic liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the Private Sector. Any change in the direction of economic policies as also specific policies relating to IT companies could affect the Company and its operations.

IV. ABOUT NET 4 INDIA LIMITED

1. Industry Overview

1. In 2004 the number of Internet subscribers in India was over 5 million. It is set to reach 14 million by 2007. The country is poised for significant growth in broadband users, as more and more homes and workplaces will be taking advantage of the competitive bandwidth prices. According to CII National Broadband Committee, India would have 10 million broadband subscribers by 2010 and 35 million by 2020. 2. BFSI, IT and BPO are the leading consumers of Internet bandwidth and telephony services, followed by the retail/ home segment. The growth in Internet allied services is driven by demand from manufacturing, government and other services segments in the forms of e-business, e-governance and distance learning. These segments demand website hosting, server colocation and domain name registration services. Most business enterprises, small and large, are demanding corporate e- mail service and corporate website presence. Gartner Research expects the spending on IT services by Indian enterprises to grow by 17% in 2005 and reach INR 10,500 crores (USD 2.3 billion). The market growth is also apparent from the rise in PC penetration. According to MAIT, the PC penetration in the country grew by 32% p.a. between 2002/03 and 2003/04. It expects the hardware market to reach USD 62 billion in value-terms by 2010. 3. The larger enterprises are migrating much of their business-to-business (B2B) transactions to online platforms, thus leading their partners and associates to adopt the same. Organisations are adopting e-business practices such as web integration of ERP, reverse auction (for procurement) and online customer support. BFSI companies have significantly enhanced their public interaction through their Internet interface. Most banks are not only offering Internet banking services (including e- payments and e-transfers) but also encouraging customers to use it. The volume of securities trading in the secondary market through online interfaces is also reported to be growing with more and more small investors finding such infrastructure more convenient, clarified and controllable. Boston Consulting Group predicts online transactions in India will hit INR 195,000 crores (GBP 28.5 billion) by 2005. With fewer, more dependable online retailers, the overall customer confidence in electronic transaction is being reinstated. The need to authenticate electronic transaction websites as ‘trusted’ is also driving the SSL Certification market. 4. Economic globalisation in India is also benefiting the Internet services industry. With growing international business, the volume of international telephone calls from India is increasing. With the allowance of Internet telephony by the Government, the residents in India can now call international destinations at very economical rates through Internet lines. The volume of long distance tele calling from India is growing. PC-to-phone traffic is expected to grow to 211 million minutes by 2007, according to a report by iLocus, a leading industry research group. The firm says some six million minutes of PC-to-phone traffic originate from Indian ISPs every month. IDC India translates this into a market opportunity of Rs 3,370 million in 2008. Internet telephony traffic is estimated to reach 1,130 million minutes of usage by 2008. This will benefit the Internet Telephony service providers in India. 5. The Government support for the Internet industry is paramount. Recently the Ministry of Communication & Information Technology reported its plans to spend USD 36 billion for improvement of the communication infrastructure in the country. With the shakeout of non-serious ISP during 2002/03, the Indian Internet industry now looks more mature and stable. The players in the industry are those who can deliver the goods. In all the future of the industry looks bright.
