Net Asset Value(s)

India Capital Growth Fund Limited 06 February 2008 India Capital Growth Fund Limited 06 February 2008 31 January 2008 NAV Statement India Capital Growth Fund Limited (the 'Company') 06 February 2008 Net Asset Values The Company announces its net asset values per share as at 31 January 2008: Net asset value per share - undiluted 129.43 p Net asset value per share - fully diluted 124.53 p Progress Update After the sustained bull run in the latter part of 2007 which peaked on 10th January of this year, Indian markets followed global equity markets and suffered a large fall, triggered by a growing realisation that the sub prime issues in the US are deeper and more severe than had previously been admitted. FIIs withdrew USD 3.2 billion from the market in January, in contrast to their net investment of USD 1.4 billion in December 2007. Liquidity was further constrained by the Reliance Power IPO (which received applications totaling USD190 Bn for the USD3 Bn of shares on offer). While the (Large cap) BSE Sensex fell by 13%, the small and mid cap indices (BSE Small Cap and BSE Mid Cap) fell further, by 24.2% and 20.7% respectively, a pattern mirroring market movements in May 2006. The undiluted NAV for the Company fell by 21.1% during the month, in line with the sectors of the market in which the Company invests. We continue to believe that the fundamentals for the companies within the portfolio are very sound, and recently released quarterly results have confirmed this. For 20 of the 22 companies in the portfolio, the average top line and EPS growth for the quarter ended 31 December 2007 over the corresponding quarter in 2006, were 56% and 49% respectively. (One company's results are still to come in, and those for the final company are excluded as growth was exceptionally high). India has a low ratio of exports to GDP (15.2%) and the majority of the portfolio companies are focused on the domestic Indian market, which is continuing to prosper, and, we believe, should be less affected than other emerging markets by a slowdown in the US or Europe. Liquidity within the company had been increased a little before the major falls, and thereafter there has been relatively little change in the portfolio. It is intended to continue this patient approach until the market settles, although the liquidity available will enable selective purchases to be made where we see attractive prices in existing portfolio companies or new ones which meet the key investment criteria.
