As with any technique, periodic updating and improvement is to be expected. We hope this article contributes to this end. The Market-Derived Blockage Discount Model presents a mathematical means for determining the appropriate selling period in a blockage “dribble out” analysis. If we sell too much at one time, the price impact is too great. If we create too long of a dribble out period, the cost of the option is too high. The optimum holding period is the one that achieves the lowest cost. Furthermore, it is our contention that the sale transaction(s) envisioned in the blockage analysis will have an immediate impact on the volatility of the stock price and that this marginal increase in volatility should be accounted for in the option model. What we have found from this model is that, depending upon the depth of a stock's market, blocks much smaller than previously presumed can create a measurable blocka...","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122294219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Valuation analysts routinely quantify the dilutive effect that stock-based compensation (SBC) has on entity equity value. This dilution can be attributed to SBC that was granted in periods prior to the valuation date and SBC that is expected to be granted in future periods. It is important that the valuation analyst understands the characteristics of the different types of securities that give rise to shareholder dilution and how to properly account for the dilutive effect of these securities. This technical paper provides an overview of the accounting treatment of SBC and a discussion of the methods to address SBC in the valuation process when estimating entity equity value.","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131736951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we will discuss the valuation-related characteristics of the Act and provide a series of conceptual solutions that address these characteristics. These solutions address the tax law changes as well as the changing nature of the absolute and relative values of C corporations (“C corps”) and PTEs.

The recent paradigm shift in the reimbursement environment, from volume to value, has had perhaps the greatest impact on the processes and outcomes of valuation assignments, as the reimbursement environment significantly affects the flow of revenue to healthcare providers. The emergence of value-based reimbursement (VBR) (most recently manifested through the implementation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 [MACRA]), has driven the pursuit of closer relationships between hospitals and physicians. Corresponding with this growing trend toward hospital-physician alignment, and specifically toward vertical integration, increased regulatory oversight regarding the legal permissibility of these...","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128624745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the key issue concerned how to account for the differing tax burdens between C corporations and S corporations when financial data from the former are used to appraise minority interests in the latter. One method developed to address this issue is the Van Vleet model—also known as the S Corporation Economic Adjustment Model (“SEAM”)—which considers the differences in tax treatment between S corporations and C corporations, and their respective shareholders. The model produces the S Corporation equity adjustment multiple, which can be applied to the S corporation equity value when such value has been estimated using C corporation data. One of the primary assumptions of the model is that the S corporation organizational form of the subject company will continue in perpetuity. In practice, however, there may be instances when the appraiser is not ...","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132285528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Debates have been held in court and out. However, all this activity has resulted in a thicket of theory and practice that is neither conclusive nor easy to maneuver with clarity and common sense. The presenting issue for the valuation community—the potential value impact of taxation on PTEs—is only one of a number of nested issues that continue to be explored.
