Valuation  Methodology  Averaging both discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis for a period of five years (FY 2013 to FY 2018), and 12-month forward enterprise value per share  Growth rate projections from 10.0% year-over-year (YoY) during FY 2013 (Year 1), peak around 40.0%, then taper off to 10.0% during FY 2018 (Year 5).  Terminal growth rate of 3.5% from FY 2019 onwards.  Main growth drivers expected to include the IT Infrastructure Services, Vertical Domain Cloud Service, and opportunities in the Games Cloud industry. 14

Enterprise (EV) valuation  Definition of enterprise value (EV): Enterprise value is the sum of market capitalization of the stock, plus the market value of debt and preferred equity securities, less cash and cash equivalents.  Enterprise value provides an indication of the entire capital structure of the Company, excluding the liquidity resources such as cash and cash equivalents. It enables one to analyse the financing sources available, besides cash.  On the valuation of DeClout Limited, I will be using the 12- month forward EV/EBITDA approach to assign one of the valuation per share for this exercise. 15
