5. How the valuation is done
− Asset valuation:
− Determined by calculating the fair market value of the assets, the improvement cost of all the assets held under
lease, and the value of inventory that includes finished goods, work-in-progress, and raw materials.
− Ideal for valuating manufacturing businesses because their maximum investment is in assets such as
machinery, equipment, power units, etc.
− Example: When Tata motors evaluated Jaguar Land Rover.
− Capitalization of income valuation:
− Suitable for valuating organizations like business consultancy firms, professional firms, etc. because they are
not asset-intensive in nature. The success of their business depends upon the quality of service and not on the
level of output produced and sold.
− Ideally, one can use the location of a business, client portfolio, technical expertise, profit and loss trends, and
portfolio of debtors and creditors.
− Example: SAP AG evaluated Sybase.
− Market valuation:
− A multiplier formula for every industry is calculated depending upon the average sales figures of various
companies in the industry. One can simply substitute figures in the formula to derive the value.
− Example: L&T evaluated Fidelity India.

10. Reverse Merger
− The acquisition of a public company by a private company so that the
private company can bypass the lengthy and complex process of going

CONFIDENTIAL
11. Amalgamation
− The combination of one or more companies into a new entity.
− An amalgamation is distinct from a merger because neither of the
combining companies survives as a legal entity. Rather, a completely new
entity is formed to house the combined assets and liabilities of both
companies.
− Two good examples of amalgamations are as follows:
−
−
11
Tata Sons operating in India and AIA Group based in Hong Kong amalgamated to form
a new company called TATA AIG Life Insurance.
Maruti Motors operating in India and Suzuki based in Japan amalgamated to form a

12. Spin-Off
− The creation of an independent company through the sale or distribution
of new shares of an existing business/division of a parent company.
− Businesses wishing to 'streamline' their operations often sell less
productive, or unrelated subsidiary businesses as spinoffs.
− Example: Expedia spin-off from Microsoft.

CONFIDENTIAL
13. Acquisition
− One company buying out another to combine the bought entity within
itself.
− The intent of transaction is more effectively using a core competence by
making the acquired firm its subsidiary within its portfolio of business.
− Generally, the firm which takes over is the bigger and stronger one. The
relatively less powerful, smaller firm loses its existence, and the firm
taking over, runs the whole business with its own identity.
− Unlike the merger, stocks of the acquired firm are not surrendered, but
bought by the public prior to the acquisition, and continue to be traded in
the stock market.
− Example: Microsoft acquired Skype, Mahindra acquired Satyam.

CONFIDENTIAL
14. Types of Acquisition
− Acquisitions can be either:
− Hostile - The company, which is to be bought has no information
about the acquisition. The company, which would be sold is taken by
surprise. Example: Oracle acquired PeopleSoft.
− Friendly - The two companies cooperate with each other and settle
matters related to acquisitions. Example: J&J acquired Crucell.
− There may be two ways of acquiring a company:
−
−
