When business or shares are transferred from one entity to another, it becomes very important for both buyer as well as seller to know the worth of that particular asset which is being transferred. The process which is undertaken to know the worth is commonly known as 'Valuation'. It is used to determine the current worth of an asset or company. Valuation is an art and not an exact science because it involves valuer's judgment. Valuations are needed for many reasons such as investment analysis, capital budgeting, merger & acquisition transactions, financial reporting, taxable events to determine the proper tax liability, and in litigation. Some of them are listed below : Issue of Equity Shares by an Indian company to a Non-resident- Price of shares issued to persons resident outside India under FDI policy shall be valued as per below guidelines : Shares of a listed company shall be issued at a price worked out in accordance with SEBI regulations, 2009. Shares of an unlisted company shall be issued at a price not more than the fair valuation of shares done by a SEBI registered category 1 Merchant banker or a CA as per DCF method. Transfer/Sale of shares by a Non-resident to a Resident Indian : Shares of a listed company can be transferred at a price not more than the price determined as per SEBI regulations, 2009. Price should be certified by a Merchant banker or a CA. Shares of an unlisted company can be transferred at a price not more than the fair value of shares determined by a Merchant banker or a CA as per DCF method. Thus the DCF value is ceiling for transfer. Purchase Price Allocation : When a business is acquired for a lump sum consideration, the purchaser needs to allocate the consideration over various assets acquired for the purpose of recording in the books of accounts and also for tax purpose. Valuation, therefore, becomes an important aspect for Purchase price allocation. Merger : In case of merger, one needs to determine share exchange/swap ratio i.e. No. of shares of transferee company to be allotted to shareholders of transferor company. Demerger : Demerger involves transfer of undertaking from one entity to other. The resulting company issues shares to the shareholders of the demerged company, which is based on the share entitlement ratio to be recommended by the valuer.
