Mergers and Acquisitions result into several tax and/or financial reporting requirements. A Purchase Price Allocation Study is performed for both purposes to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities involved in the acquisition. A Purchase Price Allocation is required to accurately reflect a company’s worth and to give the potential investors insights on the intangible value of the company.

Intangible assets of a company can be:

    •   Patents
    •   Trademarks
    •   Technology
    •   Customer Lists
    •   Non-compete agreements
    •   Business Methodolgies
    •   In-Progress R & D

Purchase Price Allocation is a requirement for various widely recognized accounting reporting standards for financial reporting as follows:

    •   FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other
    •   FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations
    •   FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
