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 were looking to accurately and effectively assess and evaluate our IP portfolio to commercialize our assets better or raise funds.

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.
