About This Sample Valuation Report
This report is a sample of a Calculation of Values report that you can create with DealSense® and the
Financial Report Builder.

DealSense was used to analyze a fictitious hypothetical company; make economic adjustments to the
historic financial statements; determine appropriate risk rates and market multiples and value the
company using only the Capitalization of Earnings method and based on Market Transaction Multiples
from DealStats. DealSense includes many more valuation methods under the Income, Market and Asset
approaches, but those methods were not applied in this limited-scope, fictitious Calculation Engagement.
The Financial Report Builder was then used to automatically create and format the appraisal report as a
Microsoft Word document. Any similarity to the names or information of actual companies is strictly
coincidental.

You will notice comments (marked in this blue text) throughout this report. These
comments serve as prompts for you to provide descriptions, explanations and more
information in certain sections. When you create a live report with the Financial Report
Builder, these comments will not print.

This report contains the data, analysis, assumptions used in the valuation, descriptions of the valuation
approaches and methods that were applied and the factors that went into the conclusions of value.

This report is context-sensitive. The Financial Report Builder reviewed all of the data points in the
DealSense program file and based upon the analyst’s selections, assembled the report with only the
appropriate data along with descriptions of the methods and procedures used. This is not a cookie-cutter
report.

There are many elements and capabilities of the


DealSense program that were not used in the sample
report.
This hypothetical Calculation of Value for the sample company utilized only a fraction of DealSense’s
features and capabilities. Here is a list of the elements available in BVS but not included in this sample
report:

Items available in DealSense but not included in this report:


 Detailed income statements, balance sheet and statements of cash flows (for historic, normalized
and projections).

 Trailing twelve month income statement.

Board of Directors

Sample Plastics Company


123 Main St.
San Diego, CA 92136
United States

RE: Calculation of value for 100.00% of Sample Plastics Company's common stock as of June 30, 2020.

Dear Board of Directors:

We have performed a calculation engagement, as that term is defined in the Statement on Standards for
Valuation Services (SSVS) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We performed
certain calculation procedures on 100.00% of Sample Plastics Company's common stock as of June 30,
2020. The specific calculation procedures are detailed in this report. The calculation procedures were
performed solely to estimate the price for the potential sale of the business, and the resulting
calculation of value should not be used for any other purpose or by any other party for any purpose.
This calculation engagement was conducted in accordance with the SSVS. The estimate of value that
results from a calculation engagement is expressed as a calculated value.

In a calculation engagement, the valuation analyst and the client agree on the specific valuation
approaches and valuation methods the valuation analyst will use and the extent of valuation procedures
the valuation analyst will perform to estimate the value of the subject interest. A calculation
engagement does not include all of the procedures required in a valuation engagement, as that term is
defined in the SVSS. Had a valuation engagement been performed, the results might have been
different.

Based on our calculations, as described in this report, which are based solely on the procedures agreed
upon as referred to above, the resulting calculated value of 100.00% of Sample Plastics Company's
common stock as of June 30, 2020 was $29,700,000.

This calculated value is subject to the Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions found in
Appendix 1 and the Valuation Analyst's Representations found in Appendix 2. We have no obligation to
update this report or our calculation of value for information that comes to our attention after the date
of this report.

Respectfully,

Introduction
Company Description
Sample Plastics Company is a C-Corporation and is organized under the laws of California. It is primarily
engaged in the business of Plastic Products Manufacturing and is doing business as Sample Injection
Molding.

COMMENT: Briefly expand on this description as you deem necessary. An area reserved for a
more detailed company description is included in the Company Background section below.
Purpose of the Calculation of Value
The purpose of this calculation of value is to estimate the price for the potential sale of the business.
This report is prepared for Board of Directors of Sample Plastics Company and should not be used by
others. This report is dated July 21, 2020.

COMMENT: Explain the purpose of the calculation in as much detail as necessary. Also define
the person or entity that engaged you and the intended users of this calculation of value.
Standard of Value
The standard of value used in this calculation of value is Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value is defined
in IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60 as: “The price at which the property would change hands between a willing
buyer and a willing seller when the former is not under any compulsion to buy and the latter is not
under any compulsion to sell, both parties having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. Court
decisions frequently state in addition that the hypothetical buyer and seller are assumed to be able, as
well as willing, to trade and to be well informed about the property and concerning the market for such
property.”

Premise of Value
Our calculation of value relied on a “value in use” or going-concern premise. This premise assumes that
the Company is an ongoing business enterprise with management operating in a rational way with a
goal of maximizing shareholder value.

COMMENT: If some premise of value other than going concern is used, modify the above
paragraph accordingly.

Example 1: “Our conclusion relied on a premise of orderly liquidation. This premise assumes
that the assets of the business are disposed on a piecemeal basis with normal exposure for
sale on the secondary market.”

Example 2: “Our conclusion relied on a premise of forced liquidation. This premise assumes
that the assets of the business are disposed on a piecemeal basis with less than normal
exposure for sale on the secondary market.”

Overview of Calculation Approaches and Methods

Various approaches have been used to value Sample Plastics Company. These approaches, described
below, are the: 1) Asset Approach, 2) Income Approach, and 3) Market Approach.

Asset Approach
The Asset Approach is generally considered to yield the minimum benchmark of value for an operating
enterprise. The most common methods within this approach are Net Asset Value and Liquidation Value.
Net Asset Value represents net equity of the business after assets and liabilities have been adjusted to
their fair market values. The Liquidation Value of the business represents the present value of the
estimated net proceeds from liquidating the Company's assets and paying off its liabilities.

Income Approach
The Income Approach serves to estimate value by considering the income (benefits) generated by the
asset over a period of time. This approach is based on the fundamental valuation principle that the
value of a business is equal to the present worth of the future benefits of ownership. The term income
does not necessarily refer to income in the accounting sense but to future benefits accruing to the
owner.

The most common methods under this approach are Capitalization of Earnings and Discounted Future
Earnings. Under the Capitalization of Earnings method, normalized historic earnings are capitalized at a
rate that reflects the risk inherent in the expected future growth in those earnings. The Discounted
Future Earnings method discounts projected future earnings back to present value at a rate that reflects
the risk inherent in the projected earnings.

Additional methods under the Income Approach are Capitalization of Excess Earnings and Multiple of
Discretionary Earnings. Commonly referred to as the “formula method,” the Capitalization of Excess
Earnings method determines the value of tangible and intangible assets separately and combines these
component values for an indication of total entity value. Under the Multiple of Discretionary Earnings
method, the entity is valued based on a multiple of “discretionary earnings,” i.e., earnings available to
the owner who is also a manager. Both of these methods are normally used to value small businesses
and professional practices.

Market Approach
The Market Approach compares the subject company to the prices of similar companies operating in the
same industry. Comparable companies can be privately owned or publicly traded where the valuation
multiples are determined from the purchase/sale price for the company. A common problem for
privately owned businesses is a lack of publicly available comparable data. Comparable companies can
also be publicly traded where the valuation multiples are derived from the trading price for the public
companies stock as of the date of the calculation.

The methods utilized under each approach are presented and discussed in the following sections.

COMMENT: The following sections discuss all of the calculation methods available in the
program and their respective results. You are encouraged to modify these sections for each

different calculation of value assignment as follows:

* Modify this document based on the specific methods used and procedures performed in
each calculation engagement.
* Elaborate on the methods that were accepted and discuss the selection process used to
accept the individual calculation methods. Weights can be assigned at the individual
calculation method level, at the data-source level (for market approach methods), at the
valuation approach level (i.e. asset, Income, market approaches), or by any combination
thereof. Identify your selection criteria at each level.
* Certain calculation methods may be presented in the report but have not been given any
weight in the conclusions. Any calculation method that is presented but not given any
weight is considered rejected. For each rejected method, include an explanation of why
the method was rejected.

Value of Preferred Stock
The value of Sample Plastics Company's preferred stock based on market yields for comparable
preferred stocks is estimated to be $1,210,000. In the preferred stock valuation, each class of Sample
Plastics Company's preferred stock is valued by dividing the preferred dividends for that class by the
market yield for comparable preferred stocks. The value of total preferred stock is presented in the
following table.

Income Approach

Discount & Capitalization Rate Estimates


In order to value the enterprise based on earnings it generates, various risk rates applicable to historic
and projected earnings have been estimated. Generally stated, these risk-adjusted rates reflect the
expected rate of return attainable on alternative investment opportunities with comparable risk. Had a
complete analysis been performed, as opposed to a limited analysis, these rates may been different.

First, a Discount Rate applicable to projected earnings has been calculated for use in the Discounted
Cash Flow and Discounted Future Earnings valuation methods. This Discount Rate is then converted into
a Capitalization Rate which is applicable to historic earnings for use in the Capitalization of Earnings
valuation method. The calculations are summarized in the table below.

Discount Rate Method: Build-Up Method

Risk-Free Rate 2.70%

Other Risk Factors / Premiums


Equity Risk Premium 6.00%
Size Risk Premium 11.00%
Industry Risk Premium 2.00%
Company-Specific Risk 7.00%
Discount Rate 28.70%
(Applied to future benefit stream.)
Less: Long-Term Growth in Benefit Stream 6.00%
Capitalization Rate 22.70%
Divided by: 1 + Long-Term Growth Rate 106.00%
Historic Earnings Capitalization Rate 21.42%
Benefit Stream Conversion Adjustment -6.27%
Adjusted Historic Earnings Capitalization Rate 15.15%
(Applied to historic benefit stream.)

In developing the Discount and Capitalization Rates to apply to the benefit stream of Sample Plastics
Company, the Build-Up Model was used. The Build-Up Model is based on a combination of risk factors
including a Risk-Free Rate, a Market Equity Risk Premium, a Size Premium and other identifiable risk
factors specific to the subject company. When added together, these risk factors provide an indication
of the Discount Rate for the subject company. This Discount Rate represents the total return, in terms
of cash flows and appreciation in value that an investor would require in order to make an equity
investment in the subject company.

COMMENT: Provide an explanation of each of the risk factors identified in the Build-Up Model
and document the source of the data. The Long-Term U.S. Treasury Bond yield to maturity
prevailing on the date of (or within the week of) the effective date of the calculation is
commonly used to represent the Risk-Free Rate. The Market Equity Risk Premium is the return

in excess of the Risk-Free Rate that an average equity investor would require. The Size
Premium is generally used if the subject company is significantly smaller than the companies
used in the formulation of the Market Equity Risk Premium. Document all other incremental
risk factors identified in the development of the discount rate. Please note that the Build-Up
Model is normally used for small companies or if no valid comparable company data is
available. If no valid comparable company data is available, that fact should be disclosed here.

Subject Company Data Used in Capitalization of Earnings and Excess Earnings Methods
We used the following benefit streams for the subject company to apply in certain valuation methods
under the Income Approach.
Comment: Provide your rationale for the selected benefit stream and time period used for the
subject company's benefit stream, e.g. Equity Free Cash Flow and most recent historic, etc.
Also, if you are using Weighted Average, document your assumptions for the weights you
assigned to each year's benefit stream.

Capitalization of Earnings Method
The Capitalization of Earnings method arrives at an estimate of value by dividing current normalized
earnings, which are weighted and averaged to approximate future earnings expectations, by a
capitalization rate. As shown below, The Total Entity Value of Sample Plastics Company based on the
Capitalization of Earnings method is estimated to be $24,900,000. In the Capitalization of Earnings
method, normalized Weighted Average Equity Net Cash Flows is divided by the capitalization rate,
15.15%, to determine Total Entity Value. See the Income Statement Adjustments section for a listing of
any adjustments made to historic earnings and the Discount & Capitalization Rates section for the
capitalization rate calculations.

Market Approach

The Market Approach utilizes market prices of comparable companies to approximate the value of the
subject company. Companies that are considered comparable are in the same or similar line of business
as the subject company and are a similar size in terms of profitability and financial position as the
subject company. Market price information can be gathered from the stock trading prices of guideline
public companies and/or from the prices paid in purchase or sale transactions for publicly traded and
privately held companies.

Under the Market Approach, the price for a comparable company is expressed as a multiple of various
measures of profitability and financial position. The price multiple from the comparable company is
then applied to the respective measures of profitability and/or financial position of the subject company
to determine the value of the subject company.

Transaction-By-Transaction Method
The Transaction-by-Transaction method is most appropriately utilized when detailed information is
available for each comparable company transaction. Transactions are identified for companies in the
same or similar line of business as the subject company and each transaction is analyzed individually.
The transaction price and financial metrics are adjusted, if necessary, so that the purchase price and the
financial metrics are calculated the same way for each comparable company transaction. Then the price
multiples derived from each transaction are analyzed and multiples are selected to be applied to the
subject company's measures of profitability and/or financial position.

Procedures for the Transaction-By-Transaction Method:

Comment: Modify the procedures below based on the actual procedures performed.
1. Identify transactions for comparable companies.
2. Analyze each transaction and, if necessary, adjust purchase price and financial metrics of each
comparable company so that the price and financial metrics are calculated the same way for
each transaction.
3. Calculate price multiples for each transaction.
4. Perform statistical analysis on each multiple group to determine if that group of multiples is
statistically reliable.
5. Select a multiple from each multiple group that is deemed to be statistically reliable.
6. Apply the selected price multiples to the respective profitability and/or financial position metric
for the subject company to determine the indicated Market Value of Invested Capital (MVIC) or
Equity value.
7. Certain types of assets are assumed to have not transferred in the transactions and therefore
those assets are not included in the transaction price. If the same asset types exist for the
subject company, add the value of the assets to the indicated MVIC and/or Equity value.
8. Convert each MVIC indication for the subject company to Equity value by deducting total debt.
This procedure is bypassed for those multiples that directly result in an Equity value when they
are applied to the subject company.

10

9. Deduct the value of any preferred stock to arrive at the indicated Equity value.

Subject Company Data Used in Market Approach


We used the following benefit streams for the subject company to apply in the valuation methods under
the Market Approach.
Comment: Provide your rationale for the time periods used for the subject company's benefit
streams, e.g. most recent historic, historic average, etc. Also, if you are using Weighted
Average, document your assumptions for the weights you assigned to each year's benefit
stream.

DealStats Transactions Method

Business sale transactions from the DealStats® database (formerly known as Pratt's Stats) have been
used to estimate the value of Sample Plastics Company. When searching the DealStats database, we
selected transactions for companies that are considered comparable to Sample Plastics Company and
then selected pricing multiples to apply to Sample Plastics Company's earnings and financial position.

DealStats® is published by Business Valuation Resources, LLC. DealStats contains transaction data on
the purchase/sale of private companies. For transactions where both the buyer and seller are private
entities, the transaction data is submitted by the business brokers and intermediaries that were
involved in the purchase/sale transaction. For transactions where the buyer is a public company and the
seller is a private company, transaction information is gathered from SEC filings. DealStats transaction
data can include a sufficient level of detail to be analyzed under the Transaction-By-Transaction method.

Search Criteria

In our search of the DealStats database for comparable company transactions, we used the following
search criteria:

COMMENT: Include a list of the search criteria and parameters you used when searching the
DealStats database. The DealStats database can be searched by:

Profit, Net Income and Total Assets.
3. Transaction information including Price range, sale date range and type of transaction (i.e.,
asset or stock sale).
4. Financial performance ratios and other search criteria.
5. Transaction Type (stock, asset, both).

Search Results

Our search resulted in the identification of 3 asset sale transactions and 3 stock sale transactions. Of the
total asset sale transactions identified, 3 were used in our analysis. Of the total stock sale transactions
identified, 3 were used in our analysis.

COMMENT: Document the composition of your search results. Be sure to explain your
