Douglas, Isle of Man: 30 September 2008 - Evolvence India Holdings plc ("EIH" or "the Company"), (AIM: EIH.L.), an investment company that focuses on private equity in India, today announced its un-audited net asset value of US$ 0.903 per share as at 30 June 2008.
The Company invests in India through the Evolvence India Fund ("EIF"), the Evolvence India Life Sciences Fund ("EILSF"), the fund managers' network of relationships and other investment opportunities.
Highlights:
The Company's net assets are US$ 58.68 million as at 30 June 2008
NAV per share is US$ 0.903 as at 30 June 2008
Dividend of US$ 0.03 per share for the year ended 31 December 2007, was paid on 20 June 2008
Khaled Al Muhairy, Chairman, Evolvence India Holdings commented:
"Evolvence India Holding has produced results that reflect the effects of challenging market conditions. The fall in NAV reflects the decline in capital markets in India; but despite the volatility in capital markets and a global slowdown, the country's long term macro-economic fundamentals remain intact. However, short term borrowing costs are expected to remain firm and we believe this has increased the attractiveness of private equity funding for Indian companies. We will continue to selectively capitalise on the range of opportunities available in the Indian private equity market."
