Purchase Price Allocation (ASC 805 | IFRS 3)

Address reporting challenges in business transactions and mitigate any future impairment risks

With primary objective of bringing more transparency to reporting of acquisitions, the ASC805 “Business Combinations” requires companies to allocate the purchase consideration paid in M&A transaction into various tangible and intangible assets at their fair value.

Complying with reporting requirements of the standard can pose significant challenges to CFO – both from perspective of time involvement as well confronting complex provisions to avoid any misreporting.

Aranca has experience of successfully completing hundreds of purchase price allocation assignments across diverse industry sectors and deal sizes.

With our in-house team of patent experts and extensive data sources at disposal, our valuation team is able to address all the key issues impacting value of intangible assets.

"We have had a few valuations done by Aranca. [There were] absolutely no problems with the reports; we have a very complicated cap structure and have filed an S-1. The SEC has reviewed and blessed the results and the supporting report. These were done expertly and at a very competitive price."

Partner, Legal Counsel Firm

"We were looking to accurately and effectively assess and evaluate our IP portfolio to commercialize our assets better or raise funds. We needed experts who understood technical aspects of the patents to determine value with respect to the competitive landscape, and also be able to translate it into a comprehensive but easy to understand financial analysis for potential investors and third-parties. That’s why, we chose Aranca because of its blend of strong Intellectual Property research and valuation capabilities.

The Aranca team was extremely professional, thorough and collaborative while working with our in-house team. We were kept in complete sync during the project engagement, as Aranca conducted the technology strength assessment and built a comprehensive valuation report with detailed market analysis and financial forecasts. To our delight, the team went the extra mile to handle our project deftly, and ensured our needs were completely met. We would score Aranca an ’11 out of 10’ for this project."
