To accommodate the specific needs of individual investors,

-
Comprehensive Formal
Valuation - provides the client with a comprehensive and fully documented
opinion of value. This level of valuation is designed to be utilized in
circumstances where it is necessary to support value to 3rd parties or
outside entities in addition to the client. Examples include valuations
for estate planning, litigation and ESOPs.
-
Limited Valuation - arrives at the value
conclusion utilizing established valuation procedures, but is more
limited in scope and reporting format than the Comprehensive Formal
Valuation. This valuation is ideal for internal purposes. An example
appropriate for this approach would be an amicable shareholder buyout or
as a tool when an owner or corporation wants to ascertain the business
value to determine if the time is right for the sale or divestiture of
the business.
-
Target Acquisition
Valuation - determines the value of a potential acquisition target. The
Target Acquisition Valuation is utilized by corporations and
entrepreneurs who are engaged in acquisition discussions and need
assistance determining the fair market value of the acquisition target.
The study usually includes an industry analysis and competitive overview
to assist the corporation or entrepreneur in determining the target's
strengths and weaknesses. This valuation utilizes Middle South's extensive
valuation experience in conjunction with specific knowledge of the
transaction marketplace to arrive at a value based on sound financial
theory/economic principles, and market conditions.

professional standards and credentials related to the valuation process. This
professional capacity is complemented by the firm's investment banking market
perspective derived from more than 20 years experience in the merger, acquisition,
divestiture and financing business. Our combination of technical expertise
