ASSET APPROACH

An asset-based approach is a type of business valuation that focuses on a company's net asset value (NAV), or the fair market value (FMV), of its total assets minus its total liabilities to determine what it would cost to re-create the business.

 

NET ASSET VALUE APPROACH

For calculating the Adjusted NAV, the valuer should factor in the fair value of the assets, contingent liability, Tax shield on accumulated losses, the impact of Auditor qualification, and Due Diligence, money to be received from warrants, stock options and impact of corresponding shares, etc.
