Valuation of Inventory, Stock and Receivables

The rise in mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments and the broader shift toward fair value–based accounting has increased the need for reliable valuation of inventory, stock and receivables during transactions and restructuring exercises.

Inventory valuation reflects the monetary value of goods held for sale, based on the cost of acquisition and preparation for sale. Appropriate adjustments must be made for obsolete, damaged or slow-moving items to ensure an accurate representation of value.

Receivables—particularly trade receivables—often form a significant part of an organisation’s asset base. Their valuation requires careful consideration of ageing, recoverability, potential bad debts and any factors that may affect realisable value.

Treu assists organisations in determining fair and accurate values for inventory, stock and receivables, applying established valuation approaches and tailoring assumptions to the specifics of each business. Our assessments support transaction processes, financial reporting and internal decision-making.

Valuation for Regulatory Compliance including, Income Tax, Transfer Pricing, FEMA and Company Law Matters

Businesses today operate in an environment where tax regulations, corporate laws and cross-border rules are becoming increasingly stringent and closely monitored. With the enhanced requirements under the Companies Act, 2013 and heightened scrutiny under tax and regulatory frameworks, companies often need independent valuations to ensure full compliance and transparency.

Treu provides valuation services for a wide range of regulatory purposes, including compliance under the Income Tax Act, Transfer Pricing regulations, FEMA, SEBI guidelines and various provisions of the Companies Act.

Our team works closely with management, legal advisors and tax professionals to deliver accurate, defensible and regulation-aligned valuations that meet statutory requirements and support smooth regulatory submissions.

Determination of Swap Ratio for Mergers & Demergers

Corporate restructuring transactions—such as mergers, demergers, amalgamations, and other schemes of arrangement—require the determination of a fair and reasonable swap ratio for the exchange of shares. The swap ratio forms a critical component of the transaction and must be supported by a robust, independent valuation analysis in line with regulatory and governance requirements.

Treu provides independent valuation and swap ratio determination services for restructuring transactions across industries. Our assessments are based on recognised valuation approaches, including income-based, market-based, and asset-based methods, and are tailored to the transaction structure and applicable regulatory framework.

Documentation aligned with applicable valuation standards and regulatory requirements

Impairment Assessment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

Financial reporting standards require entities to assess whether the carrying value of tangible assets, intangible assets, and cash-generating units (CGUs) is recoverable, either on an annual basis or when indicators of impairment arise. Such assessments ensure that assets are reported at amounts consistent with their recoverable value in accordance with Indian GAAP, Ind AS, IFRS, or US GAAP.

Treu provides independent impairment assessment services covering a wide range of asset classes, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill, and CGUs. Our work includes identification of impairment indicators, determination of appropriate valuation approaches, and estimation of recoverable amounts using value in use and/or fair value less costs of disposal methodologies, as required by the applicable accounting framework.

What we provide:

Independent impairment testing for tangible assets, intangible assets, goodwill, and CGUs
Detailed financial models supporting recoverable value assessments
Evaluation and documentation of key assumptions, cash flow projections, discount rates, and terminal values
Sensitivity and scenario analyses to assess the impact of changes in key assumptions
Comprehensive impairment reports aligned with relevant accounting and valuation standards
Supporting documentation suitable for audit review and regulatory examination

Purchase Price Allocation for Mergers & Acquisitions

Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) is the process of allocating the consideration paid in a business acquisition to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Financial reporting frameworks such as Ind AS, IFRS and US GAAP require companies to recognise these assets and liabilities at their Fair Value on the acquisition date. PPA is also essential in slump sale or slump exchange transactions for allocation of consideration.

The difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of the identifiable assets is recognised as goodwill, which is subsequently assessed for impairment. As the exercise involves identifying and valuing a wide range of intangible assets, the PPA process demands deep business understanding, sector insight and strong technical expertise in valuation methodologies.

Treu delivers comprehensive PPA services supported by in-house capabilities across tangible asset valuation (land, buildings, plant and machinery) and intangible asset valuation. Our experience spans complex transactions across multiple industries, and we support clients in cross-border deals through our partnerships with global valuation specialists. This ensures seamless and consistent service for transactions involving international operations.

Valuation of Real Estate

Real estate valuation involves assessing the value of various legal interests arising from land and buildings. Since property is acquired for both use and investment, understanding the expected returns relative to the investment is essential. The dynamics of exchange, scarcity and buyer choice define the real estate market and influence how value is perceived.

For corporates, government bodies, developers, financial institutions and individual owners, real estate often forms a significant part of the asset portfolio. Determining the underlying value of land and buildings is therefore crucial for decision-making, compliance and strategic planning.

Treu provides valuation and advisory services across a wide spectrum of real estate assets. We assist clients with valuations for existing properties, potential acquisitions, new developments and planned disposals. Our work is supported by detailed market research, technical expertise and sector-specific knowledge.

We follow internationally recognised valuation standards and relevant accounting standards, ensuring consistency, transparency and credibility in every engagement. Our experience spans commercial, residential, industrial, retail, hospitality, infrastructure and specialised real estate assets.

Hotels, Resorts, Service Apartments and Hospitality Assets

Special-Use Properties such as golf resorts, wellness centres, health spas and other unique assets.

Valuation of Industrial Assets and Plant & Machinery

Plant, machinery and equipment form a critical part of asset-intensive businesses, whether used in manufacturing, service delivery, leasing, or administrative operations. These assets are movable, have specific functional lives, and often behave differently from real property in terms of value, utility and marketability.

Their valuation can vary significantly depending on whether the assets are assessed individually, as part of an operating unit, in situ, or for removal. These factors influence the appropriate approach, classification and measurement, making valuation of industrial assets a specialised exercise requiring technical expertise and sector familiarity.

Treu provides valuation of Plant & Machinery and industrial assets in line with internationally recognised valuation standards. Our experience spans a wide range of industries, including automobile and auto ancillary, chemicals and fertilizers, cement, consumer goods, infrastructure, hospitality, iron and steel, logistics, mining, manufacturing, petrochemicals, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, power, real estate, telecom, IT & electronics, textiles and more.

Valuation Under the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code

Valuation of Intangible Assets & Intellectual Property

Businesses today are increasingly driven by technology, digital services and data-led models. Even in traditional sectors, companies continue to invest heavily in brands, technology platforms, customer networks and proprietary software. As a result, a large part of the difference between a company’s book value and its market value or transaction value in an M&A deal is often linked to its intangible assets.

With investors, lenders, and analysts placing greater emphasis on these assets, reliable valuation has become essential. Ind AS 38 also mandates annual impairment testing of intangible assets and assessment whenever signs of impairment appear.

Treu provides valuation of intangible assets using globally recognised approaches and methodologies, ensuring a clear understanding of their contribution to overall business value.

Categories of Intangible Assets

Marketing: Brands, trademarks, trade names, service marks, domain names, non-compete agreements.

Technology: Patents, software, technical know-how, databases, trade secrets and proprietary processes.

Artistic: Books, publications, photographs and other creative works.
