First Day of Dealings




RNS Number:7083O
India Outsourcing Services PLC
26 February 2008


For immediate release 26 February 2008



INDIA OUTSOURCING SERVICES PLC
(to be renamed INDIAN RESTAURANTS GROUP plc)

First Day of Dealings of Enlarged Share Capital on AIM

Acquisition of the Mela Group

Change of name from India Outsourcing Services plc to
Indian Restaurants Group plc


India Outsourcing Services plc (to be renamed Indian Restaurants Group plc) is
pleased to announce its first day of dealings on AIM today following its
acquisition of the Mela Group. The Company's new ticker symbol will be 'IRGP'.
It is expected that the change in the Company's name and ticker symbol will
become effective at 8.00am on 27 February 2008.

India Outsourcing Services plc announced on 29 January 2008 that it had
conditionally agreed to acquire the London-based Mela Group of three Indian
restaurants and a catering business ("Acquisition") for a Consideration of
£1,998,999 to be satisfied by £100,000 in cash and by the issue of up to
7,201,365 new ordinary shares at 26.37p per share ("Consideration Shares"), some
of which are conditional on the achievement of certain targets ("Deferred
Consideration Shares").

The Initial Consideration Shares represent 27.53 per cent of the Enlarged Share
Capital, and the Consideration Shares in total will represent up to 43.17 per
cent of the further enlarged share capital assuming the issue of the Deferred
Consideration Shares.

As at 25 January 2008 (being the date on which the Ordinary Shares were
suspended from trading on AIM), the closing mid market price of an Existing
Ordinary Share was 20.5p. At this price the Mela Group was valued at
approximately £1.48 million and India Outsourcing at approximately £1.94
million.

Dealings in the Enlarged Share Capital consisting of 9,479,167 Existing Ordinary
Shares and 3,600,683 Initial Consideration Shares commence on AIM today.

Commenting on the successful completion of the Acquisition, Haresh Kanabar, the
Company's Non-Executive Chairman and Finance Director, said: "I am delighted
that trading has commenced in the new ordinary shares. We look forward to
updating shareholders in due course on our plans to roll out the Mela and Chowki
restaurant brands to create the UK's first national, branded provider of Indian
cuisine."

Full details of the Proposals were set out in the Admission Document posted to
shareholders dated 28 January 2008 and which is available from the Company's
website at www.indianrestaurantsgroup.com.

I share your disappointment with the current share price performance. But they have 2.1 mil cash on the books post the transaction. They have a busimess that is profitable. Therefore one would expect the minimum valuation to be in excess of 2.1 mil.
Another thing that should not be overlooked is the value of the leases (I have on good authority these should be booked in c 1 mil).
I am not defending management. On paper they have not created any value for shareholders. But I think we need to give it some time to see how this develops.
It is very easy to jump on the band wagon and kick something when it is down. It is much harder to have the vision to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.
I will not be selling. I have spoken with management. I think they have some decent ideas. I made a lot of money from Pizza Express a few years ago (got in too late and sold too early - but still made a lot of cash). Who know where this will end up.

we now know why vincent cut and ran
share price fell again and they haven't even approved the deal yet!!!
perhaps it is worth voting against it though i only have 60k

Vincent T holds c 28% - has rejigged where the shares are held for tax reasons but hasn't sold.

The big fella,

re credibility on ggg, I think that I have been shown to be right again - just look at the share price graph.

Re this one, i'd say that the owners just need a business, any business, as a home for their money.
We shall see. I know the restaurant business pretty well, I made much of my own money there before switching to property investment.
Its not a great business to be in at moment, and with this management I see a steady drip in the share price here down to single digits.

201'000 shares, mostly sells. In total that is a grand total of £40k. The MMs keep a really really thin book here, so sells or buys really affect the price quickly. It could have simply been 1 holder liquidated that caused the share price fall today.

There are 3 restaurants and a catering business in the group. The group is profitable and run by the guy who came 2nd in the restauranteer of the year awards last year, in all categories. Beaten by Gordon Ramsey.

Tchenguiz is onboard because they have aggressive and bullish plans for the company. The british Indian Restaurant industry is worth 3 billion per year, and there are over 10'000 individual restaurants in the U.K. If they can grow the Co into a chain then the company will be worth a fortune.

Sure, it is a challenge, and completely different to what we thought they were persuing, but i think the deal is a good one.

Have a look at some other restaurant groups on AIM to see what they could be trying to emulate.

trading on AIM pending a further announcement in the next few days.

Can't resist:

"It might help though is someone with keen interest in IOS comes out with some fact based possible scenerios for IOS. i.e. what if they do indeed end up doing the deal with the announced two opportunities. What exactly would that mean in terms of deal size, deal funding, market cap of the resultant company/post deal entity and impact on share price."

- any intelligent comment possible from the bulls, other than just flaming anyone who asks sensible questions? Huh?

[Incidentally, RA1, describing the expenditure of 600k plus on a failed acquisition (which is what they're supposed to have been achieving, after all) as "a bit of bad luck" strikes me as being a very generous interpretation. A bit of exceptionally bad management, I would say. Remember not to answer now - you claim to have me on filter, so you wouldn't want to make an even bigger fool of yourself! ;-)]

we should look at what kind of "transaction" IOS can pull off:

a) Outright purchase by cash of an INDIAN entity which will become a subsidiary of IOS aka private equity model. The cash element in the company (2.62 MM as per March account) is too low for that. Agreed, you can gear it up by leverage but that is tough in today's market but even if you can gear it up 5 times, that is a total kitty of 15 MM. I am afraid that is too low to pull of any decent size transaction. I have known companies in India who have raised INR 1 BLN (100 cr) = 25MLN in the form of debt and equity package and therefore the question to ask would be why would a company be willing to sell to IOS instead of raising the required capital on their own without losing their independence.

b) Reverse Takeover - giving an opportunity to list on AIM under IOS name. I am afraid that is not promising to any company who has intention of listing in INDIA. The Indian stock market is perfect place for such companies to list and it is much easier to create a secondary listing on AIM. There is no advantage to be part of a reverse takeover.

c) Part of a consortium -> that is a possibility given IOS and related companies managed by IOS management can raise requisite capital however IMHO I have not heard IOS name with positive tune as part of any recent discussions related to consortium bids. It is quite possible that my sources are biased (as they did not have a good experience to deal with IOS in past) but I have no reasons to disbelieve them. Also since I only have a minute position on this stock, I have not done a great deal of research on IOS and its recent activities. It might help though is someone with keen interest in IOS comes out with some fact based possible scenerios for IOS. i.e. what if they do indeed end up doing the deal with the announced two opportunities. What exactly would that mean in terms of deal size, deal funding, market cap of the resultant company/post deal entity and impact on share price.

Niku

The company has indicated they are carrying out due dilligence on two potential acquisitions. They have released an RNS to the effect.

They hope to complete one of the two transactions, as they have exclusivity on them.

They lost out to a transaction last year- as they practically got gazumped, and the other buyer paid a whopping 50% premium to their offer.

They extendeded their horizon, as felt the valuations in the BPO sector got stretched. Additionally they spent a lot of time trying to complete that deal, and then had to start all over again. Clearly their share price suffered.

They are close to completeing a transaction, and at current share price levels we are still supported by NAV of 27.5p

With a deal imminent IOS will re-rate itself upwards.

Vincent Tchinguez is their largest shareholder, and he bought in at £1 and at 50p.He does not like to lose money and i would not rule out a property related transaction.

I am clearly betting that we are getting in at extremely attractive level frm current share price

Have spoken to 5 differnt brokers, there is very little stock actually around.

When they finish a deal we should have a very positive reaction to the share price

My average for the stock is 25p and at current levels, i am very relaxed.

Invested in Pounds...now down to Pence in two years and without any acquisition!
At this rate, soon the IOS share price will be quoted in single digits!

£3.00 becomes £0.18... great track record, IOS!

Does it not bother any of the investors that your hard earned money has now almost evoporated...gone...? The investment is almost worthless. The question is what is happening at IOS? Is there anything left except for an eye catching name? Indian Companies are acquiring and investing Billions of Dollars in companies abroad including the UK but after two years, IOS is still waiting for an opportunity in India for which it was supposed to have been set up!! Pardon me if I have missed anythging in the past and if I have not understood the rationale of floating IOS. Perhaps somebody can enlighten....
