Financial Reporting and Valuation
With the spate of recent M&A activity, there is an increased need for intangible asset valuations due to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), US GAAP and Indian GAAP and greater scrutiny by tax authorities of asset assignments and transfer pricing.
At RBSA, we value intangible assets as components of Enterprise Value, and carry our rigorous market and comparable analysis to support assumptions. We match the basis and methods for each valuation to its purpose and the reporting jurisdiction. Our robust valuation approach is enhanced by an integrated knowledge of marketing, licensing and brand transactions. We work closely with client’s auditors, tax advisors and lawyers
Valuations are required for:
• Purchase Price Allocations
• Impairment Reviews
• Tax planning
• Transactions and dispute resolution
Valuations also form the basis for risk and performance management.
Transaction Support
We help our clients leverage the value of their intangibles through acquisitions, tax planning, selling/mortgaging, etc. We ensure that the intangible assets are utilized to their full extent along with tangible assets.
The transaction support services that we provide for brands and intangibles are:
• Brand Due Diligence for acquisitions, disposals and bid defense
• Pre-Disposal Brand Evaluation
• Selling a Brand
• Royalty rate determination
Banking and Finance
More and more companies are realizing that the majority of their value lies in intangible assets. This value can either be valued & securitized separately in a special purpose entity or as part of a larger bundle of assets, such as plant & machinery, inventory or land & property. In this way, banks can loan more with reduced risk and owners of brands, copyrights or patents can have access to more resource for lower cost.
More and more bankers and financial institutions are agreeing to securitize and fund against reputed brands and strong intangibles as collateral security.
RBSA provides a number of related services, including:
• Due Diligence
• Securitization of Intangible Assets
• Leveraging the brand for raising funds
