Valuations

The valuation process involves an assessment of a wide range of issues which include:
- Future profitability and cashflow
- Current financial position and historic performance
- Management team
- Economic and business circumstances of the relevant industry and markets
- Product life cycle and technology
- Legislation, regulations and accounting standards (domestic and international)
