Valuation Principles
Business entitles need accounting reports for three essential purposes: 1. Tax returns are prepared to determine amount of tax owed.
2. Accounting reports keep managers informed about what is going on
and financial position of company.
3. External financial statements go to those persons outside a business who need to stay informed.

Financial Statements consist of three basic reports:
1. Balance Sheet – Shows the financial status of a business on a certain date
2. Income Statement – Summarizes financial activities during a specified period of time
3. Cash Flow Statement – sources and uses cash
A Statement of the financial status of the business on a certain date Assets - Economic resources owned by business
Current – cash, accounts receivable, inventory
Fixed – land, buildings, equipment
Other assets – prepaid expenses
Liabilities – What the business owes
Current – accounts payable; payroll taxes payable (1 yr. or less)
Other – income taxes
Long term – notes payable (more than 1 year)

• Disclosure of information in external statements
Basic Accounting Principle What It Means in Relationship to a Financial Statement
Reliability: Accountants are required to work with and present
valid information. Accountants ensure that their information is
valid by only working with numbers that can be verified
objectively. Objective verification might include: bills of sale,
receipts, processed checks, bank statements and inventory
counts. To ensure reliability, GAAP calls for unbiased
estimation, using approved scientific methods performed by an
independently qualified individual.
Historical Cost: Historical cost refers to the price at which
something was bought or what the buyer paid. It's called
"historical cost" because the amount is fixed in history. GAAP
requires accountants to record all transactions at historical cost.
Historical cost is used because value changes day-to-day and
depending on circumstances. For example; an organization
buys a copy machine for $250; after a year of use, the machine
may only be worth $200, but it's still recoded on the balance
sheet as $250 worth of equipment. The historical cost principle
is the same in both appreciation and depreciation; the
accountant logs the estimated adjustments on the original
number while still listing its historical cost.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is not recognized or recorded until it's
physically earned. Future income and projected
income are not considered earned income and
cannot be officially recorded as earned. To be
considered "earned," revenue must come from an
affirmed sale of a good or service, it must be a
recordable amount, and the buyer must have paid
or be expected to pay (as in the case of credit).
Matching
Accountants must match generated revenue with the resources that helped to generate
that revenue. For example, a landlord would match rent income with the apartment she
earned it from, and a grocery store owner would match the expense of buying a can of
soup with the revenue generated from selling the can of soup. The resources used to
generate income are called expenses, not costs. It's important to note that a resource
bought remains a cost until it's used up in the pursuit of revenue generation, at which point
the "cost" becomes an "expense."
Modification
The Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) establishes and
alters GAAP to conform to fairness and changing times. There are certain
circumstances where an individual accountant or company may modify
GAAP to suit their needs. Such occasions might include times when the
information is truly inconsequential or times when complying with GAAP
would result in an unnecessarily disastrous outcome.
Basis
The GAAP and IRC (Internal Revenue Code) methodologies for
calculating the cost basis of a newly acquired asset are identical. Included
in the basis is the purchase price of the asset plus costs incurred to
transport the asset, sales taxes and installation costs.
Depreciation
The amount of depreciation and the periods it can be taken are
significantly different for financial accounting and tax purposes. Pursuant
to GAAP, the useful life of the asset and the depreciation method can be
chosen by the asset's owner. However, the IRC provides the useful life for
each category of assets and limits discretion in choosing a depreciation
method.
Gain and Loss
The amount of gain or loss resulting from the sale of an asset is
calculated the same for GAAP and tax purposes. The basis is reduced by
the aggregate amount of depreciation taken and subtracted from the sales
price. The amount of gain or loss will be different under GAAP than for tax
purposes because of differences in depreciation rules.

Cash Basis
Accrual Basis
Modified Accrual
Bookkeeping vs. Accounting
It’s A Matter Of Time
Income and expenses are recognized when the business actually received the income or paid the expense
Accrual Based statements recognize assets, liabilities, income and expenses when earned or owed, not just when paid and received as do cash basis statements.
When analyzing, it is always preferable to recast statements to an accrual basis.

5. The dividend-paying capacity.
6. Whether or not the enterprise has goodwill or other intangible value.
7. Sales of the stock and the size of the block of stock to be valued.
8. The market price of stocks of corporations engaged in the same or a
similar line of business having their stocks actively traded in a free and
open market, either on an exchange or over-the-counter
NEBEDISM
3 Commonly Referred To Valuation Principles…
The “economic principle of
substitution” is based upon the fact that no prudent individual would pay more for an asset than the price required to obtain an equal asset of comparable utility.
The “principle of future benefits” is the fundamental business valuation principle that states – economic value reflects anticipated future benefits.
The “principle of alternatives” states that in any contemplated transaction, each party has alternatives to consummating the transaction.

Defined as: “The price,

property would change
hands between a
hypothetical willing and able
buyer and a hypothetical
willing and able seller, acting
at arm’s length in an open
and unrestricted market,
when neither is under

Defined as: “The value to a particular
investor based on individual
investment requirements and
expectations”.
Defined as: “The value that an investor
considers, on the basis of an evaluation or
available facts, to be the "true" or "real" value that
will become the market value when other
investors reach the same conclusion. When the
term applies to options, it is the difference
between the exercise price or strike price of an
option and the market value of the underlying
security”.
