DEFINING the ENGAGEMENT
Who is the client? Who is the appraiser?
What is the specific interest being appraised?
What is the valuation date?
What is the purpose of the appraisal?
What is the standard of value?
What type of report
is needed?
Schedules? Fees?
GATHERING COMPANY
INFORMATION
Key focus –
•Estimate the stream of future benefits
from the business
•Estimate the risk associated with
achieving those benefits
•Value = Benefits/Risk
ANALYZING THE INFORMATION
Financial Analysis:
• Common-size analysis
• Comparative analysis
• Trends
Non-financial analysis
• Management
• Competition
• Products & Quality
• Customer/supplier concentration
ESTIMATING THE VALUE
Valuation Approaches
• Asset Approaches
• Market Approaches
• Income Approaches
ASSET APPROACH – WHEN TO USE
Appropriate when valuing:
• Marginally profitable companies (better
dead than alive?)
• Asset-heavy companies
• Holding companies and non-profits
• Controlling interests
Generally not useful:
• When significant intangible value exists
• For valuing service companies
• For valuing professional practices
• When considering minority interests
MARKET APPROACHES - GPTCM
Guideline Publicly Traded Company Method
Using information from publicly traded, similar
companies, determine “multiples” to apply to the subject
company’s operating results to obtain a value
Completed Transactions Method
Similar to GPTCM – based on sales of business interests
in the market (M&A)

CAPITALIZATION OF INCOME
Basic capitalization formula:
PV = E1/c
Where:
E1 = expected economic income at the end of
next year
c = capitalization rate
Example:
If E1 = $100,000 and c = 20%
then PV = $500,000
DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW
The value of a business is the present value of
the “income” it can reasonably be expected to
generate in the future…
Basic DCF formula:
Value 
Income

1  d 1

1  d 2

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW –
TERMINAL VALUE
One method is to calculate the terminal value using a
capitalization of income method…
E n 1  g 
PV 
kg
1  k n
Where:
PV = Terminal Value
En = “Earnings” during last period of forecast
k = discount rate (required rate of return)
g = growth rate of En in perpetuity
n = number of periods in the projection period
DISCOUNT AND CAPITALIZATION
RATES
• A discount rate is a rate of return used to
convert a monetary sum into a present value;
also known as
• opportunity cost of capital
• weighted average cost of capital
• required rate of return
• How to determine for a closely held company?
• Build-up models
• CAPM

A CONCLUSION OF VALUE –
WHEW!
Check the math…
Review the facts…
• Review company strengths and
weaknesses
• Review economic conditions
• Review comparative financial analysis
Subjectively weight results obtained by
different valuation approaches?
Did we value the right property correctly?
