The new Inland Revenue rules concerning the valuation of earn-outs where a former owner continues working for the business require much attention.

We have prepared Offer Document Reports pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 20 (Scientific Research Based Companies) of the Stock Exchange Listing Rules. Offer Document Reports are normally published in the Offer Document and would address such as the merits of the company’s products, the company’s business plan including the critical path and timescale to commercial exploitation and any projections of the market potential for the company’s products. We also explore the risk factors which may effect the company’s business plan. The IPO of Lidco is an example.

The importance of IP valuation and exploitation is acknowledged by brokers and investment banks when they are providing advice to clients in M&A situations or when raising capital.

Valuations are required of private equity for public accounting purposes. We have considerable experience of the complexities in valuing carrying interests. Our work for Prudential and Nippon Gohsei is well documented.
