Valuations for Financial Reporting

For business owners and managers, we assist in developing transparent valuation practices, especially for hard-to-value assets, and controls that promote adherence to proper valuation policies. As an independent third party, we are able to help reduce conflict of interest concerns. Our support includes:

• Allocation of purchase price paid to acquired intangible assets such as intellectual property, patents, trademarks, copyrights, covenants-not-to-compete, technology, software, customer assets and other contractual relationships (ASC 805)
• Pre-merger and acquisition valuation modeling
• Goodwill impairment testing (ASC 350)
• Restricted stock and stock option grants (IRS Sec. 409a and/or ASC 718)
• Hard-to-value Investment Assets (FASB ASC 820):
  • Convertible and participating preferred and common stock
  • Warrants, options, stock appreciation rights and derivatives
  • Debt securities — mezzanine, MBS, ABS, convertible debt
  • Interest rate swaps
  • Structured products
