Valuation Services.

The Private Equity firm had recently acquired Fibre Optical networks in two financial hubs in Asia and they were seeking a rigorous valuation analysis as part of post purchase financial reporting requirements. Insight Valuationswas engaged on this project due to our global reach, asset expertise and understanding of the complexities involved.
Client needs
The transaction triggered a “change of control”. As a result, our client needed to determine the fair value of the underlying infrastructure for a purchase price allocation exercise.
Actions
Our team used an interactive internal mapping programme to create a component listing of the networks.
We engaged suppliers to confirm opinions and research We were able to generate a Gross Current Replacement Cost and depreciate at the component level to opine Fair Value at the acquisition date.
Our approach provided accuracy across a complex multi staged build infrastructure asset.
Results
