This Toolkit was created as a companion piece to Best Practices in Valuations for Financial Reporting: The Identification of Contributory Assets and
Calculation of Economic Rents (the CAC Monograph), published under separate cover. The CAC Monograph was written to present best practices in
calculating contributory asset charges (CACs) when using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM) to value a subject intangible asset.
The CAC Monograph presents certain methods and techniques that the Working Group believes to be best practices in developing contributory asset
charges and includes a Comprehensive Example and Practical Expedient Example. This Toolkit is based on the same data used in the Comprehensive
Example but expands on that example by including additional detail. It is being provided as an example of a detailed framework to measure the
internal consistency of the various valuation analyses using these methods and a financial overlay. This Toolkit also provides examples of other specific
issues that were mentioned in the CAC Monograph but for which examples were not otherwise provided, allowing for comparison of alternative concepts
or simply providing more information.
It is important to note that this Toolkit is simply an illustrative example. These sample calculations are for demonstration purposes only and are
not intended as the only form of model or calculation, or final report exhibit, that is acceptable. In many cases, these calculations include details to
demonstrate a point and would not be expected in a typical analysis. It is NOT intended to represent the only (or best) way to perform a particular
analysis or to be used as a how-to formula. It is NOT intended as further advice on Best Practices but rather to provide examples. This Toolkit
example is based on the specific assumptions presented in the introduction or noted in the exhibits. A different set of facts and circumstances may
result in a modification of both judgment and/or application.
This Toolkit was developed by a Working Group comprising individuals from the valuation profession who regularly deal with this issue in the context
of valuations performed for financial reporting purposes (the same working group that developed the CAC Monograph). This Toolkit has no official or
authoritative standing for valuation or accounting.
This document was approved for publication by the Board of Trustees of The Appraisal Foundation on May 22, 2010. The reader is informed that the
Board of Trustees defers to the members of the contributory asset Working Group for expertise concerning the technical content of the document.
Toolkit Example
This Toolkit Example demonstrates the concepts put forth in the CAC Monograph and applies them in a comprehensive manner to derive the Fair
Value of Customer Relationships based on the application of the MPEEM. In addition, this Toolkit provides a suggested process in the context of a
financial overlay to provide for internal consistency in a valuation analysis (as well as a potential alternative to the WARA analysis provided in the CAC
Monograph). The contributory assets included in this example are as follows:
Working Capital
Fixed Assets (Techniques A&B)
Assembled Workforce
Trade Name*
Intellectual Property*
*These assets contribute to the revenue stream used in the valuation of the customer relationships. However, because they are
valued by use of the relief from royalty method, this is considered a profit split and contributory asset charges are not applied.
Assumptions
The transaction is assumed to be an acquisition of stock (rather than assets) with a purchase price of $4,746;
The tax rate is assumed to be 40% based on the U.S. domiciled blended federal and state statutory rates;
The fair value of the working capital is assumed to be $285;
The fair value of the fixed assets is assumed to be $1,000 and there is no land;
The WACC is assumed to be 10%;
Long-term growth is assumed to be 3%;
The Trade Name royalty rate is assumed to be a gross rate of 5%;
The IP royalty rate is assumed to be a gross rate of 10%;
This Toolkit is not intended to address the issues inherent in arriving at market participant projected financial information. The analysis assumes
that the PFI represents the assumptions of a market participant because, among other things, all entity-specific synergies have been removed from
the projections (e.g., specific revenue or expense synergies).
Royalty rates presented in these exhibits are assumed to be gross rates wherein the licensor is responsible for the advertising and maintenance
R&D expenditures. This assumption was made to demonstrate the need to be consistent in the recognition of these expenses among the various
assets. Where the royalty rates are determined to be net of these expenses, such adjustments would not be required.
To the extent this analysis was performed as part of Step 2 of a goodwill impairment test the fair value of the reporting unit would be considered
the purchase price and the hypothetical transaction structure also is assumed to be the sale of stock rather than assets.
These examples assume that the purchase price (if a transaction has occurred) reflects the fair value of the subject entity. If and when it is
determined that the fair value of the entity differs from the purchase price, the analyses described in this Toolkit might be subject to adjustments
(see Section 4.3 of the CAC Monograph.)
Process
All operating assets of a business contribute to the generation of the revenue and cash flow of that business. If the unit of valuation is viewed as the
entity as a whole with the maximum value of the group of assets derived through their continued use by the entity, the interrelationship of all assets
should be considered in a valuation analysis. CACs assist in properly apportioning the entitys cash flows among the component assets in the context
of a MPEEM, however they do not alleviate the need for the valuation specialist to assess other critical aspects of this apportionment. This Toolkit does
not address these other elements of judgment and incorporates assumptions in this regard. The purpose of this Toolkit is to provide an example of the
application of CACs in the context of the entity as a whole. The following processes or points are demonstrated in the exhibits:
Step 1:
A transaction may reflect certain elements of entity-specific synergies. This example assumes that all such specific synergies have been removed from
the purchase price and the prospective financial information (PFI) to arrive at market participant assumptions.
Step 2:
The internal rate of return (IRR) of the transaction, based on the market participant assumptions, is estimated and compared to the entitys weighted
average cost of capital (WACC). This Toolkit Example assumes that the transaction is a stock acquisition (Exhibit D-5 provides an example of the
calculation of the IRR in an asset acquisition) and that the IRR is equivalent to the WACC of 10%.
Step 3:
The PFI represents the prospective cash flows to be realized in the acquisition, including the tax benefits that would result from a restatement of the
tax basis of certain of the assets to fair value. The CACs are based on the fair value of the contributory assets which is inclusive of the tax benefit from
the basis restatement. Therefore, as the fair value of the contributory asset is inclusive of this tax benefit, the PFI also should be adjusted to include
it. These adjustments increase the Entity Value and result in an Adjusted Entity Value that is inclusive of these incremental tax benefits. In order to
maintain consistency between the PFI to be used in valuing the customer relationships and the fair value of the assets to which a CAC will be applied, the
PFI should be adjusted (if necessary) to include the cash flow benefits of the increase in the tax basis of the contributory assets. Such an adjustment also
might be addressed through the application of a deferred tax liability, however such an analysis adds significant complexities. A restatement of the tax
basis recognizes the need to value assets without reference to the tax structure of the transaction used to purchase the entity. For additional discussion
on the applicability of TABs see paragraphs 3.1.08 and 4.3.08 in the CAC Monograph and paragraphs 5.3.9 - 5.3.108 in the 2001 AICPA IPR&D Practice
Aid (2001 AICPA Practice Aid Series: Assets Acquired in a Business Combination to Be Used in Research and Development Activities: A Focus on Software,
Electronic Devices and Pharmaceutical Industries). It should be noted that an update of this IPR&D Practice Aid was underway as of the finalization of
this Toolkit.
Step 4:
The analysis is performed using the same rate of return for all assets to assure that all cash flows have been allocated to the assets and that the CAC
calculations are mathematically correct. This interim step of maintaining a constant rate of return and discount rate for all assets (in this example 10%)
eliminates the effect that stratifying the rates has on the present value calculations. In order to accomplish this financial overlay and reconciliation
to the Adjusted Entity Value the present value of excess earnings not related to a separately identified asset (unidentified excess earnings) is also
calculated. This analysis is provided in the Section A exhibits.
Step 5:
The analysis is changed to reflect appropriate rates of return and discount rates for the respective assets and to calculate the implied discount rate for
the unidentified excess earnings (a component of goodwill). This analysis is provided in Section B of the exhibits.
Step 6:
The appropriate TAB is applied to the identifiable intangible assets to arrive at fair value.

SECTION A:
FINANCIAL OVERLAY AND PFI
RECONCILIATION
This section of the Toolkit provides an example of the financial overlay and PFI reconciliation performed at a
consistent discount rate. The intangible asset to which a MPEEM is applied is the customer relationships asset.
This analysis results in the calculation of the value of the following assets (prior to the application of the TAB as
noted by an asterisk) which reconciles to the Adjusted Entity Value. Included in the exhibits is the application of
Technique A (Average Annual Balance) and Technique B (Level Payment) to the fixed assets. An analysis of the
following separately identifiable assets and unidentified excess earnings* are provided in the reconciliation:
Identifiable Assets:
Working Capital
Fixed Assets (Techniques A&B)
Assembled Workforce (component of goodwill)
Trade Name - Acquired Company*
Intellectual Property*
Customer Relationships*
This example assumes that all potential entity-specific synergies and related value have been extracted from the PFI and the purchase price. Based on the market participant
PFI and purchase price of $4,746, the IRR of the transaction is calculated to be 10%. In addition, a market-based WACC of 10% is estimated, which reconciles to the IRR.
This example reflects a non-taxable transaction.

(6) Marketing expenses related to creating and maintaining unidentified and future customer relationships.
(7) 7-MACRS tax depreciation based on carry-over tax basis of $745 and projected capital expenditures. For a detailed calculation see Exhibit A-2 of the Toolkit.
(8) Tax basis of intangible assets is zero.
(9) Represents 30% of incremental revenue. A beginning working capital balance of $285 is based on Year 0 revenue of $950.
(10) The residual year difference in depreciation and capital expenditures recognizes the long term growth in the business and the depreciation lag relative to capital
expenditures. The differential is dependent on the long term growth rate and the fixed asset depreciation rates. This "wedge" is calculated by extending the capital
expenditure projection at the constant residual year growth rate and calculating the depreciation for each annual period until a stable relationship between capital
expenditures and depreciation is achieved.
(11) Based on constant growth model assuming a 3% long-term growth rate.
(12) The market participant based IRR is equivalent to the WACC of 10%. The mid-period convention is applied.
Tax Depreciation: Carry-Over Tax Basis of Fixed Assets (1) Exhibit A-2

Tax Depreciation: 7-Year MACRS & Fair Value of Fixed Assets (1) Exhibit A-3
Summary of the tax depreciation calculations based on the $1,000 fair value of the fixed assets and 7-year MACRS depreciation. CACs related to fixed assets are based on
their fair value, as such, the depreciation reflected in the PFI is restated to reflect the fair value of the fixed assets. These projected depreciation amounts are reflected in
Exhibit A-3.

(1) 7-Year MACRS applied to the fair value of the fixed assets and projected capital expenditures.
The PFI in this Exhibit is adjusted to reflect the tax benefits that would result from a restatement of the tax basis of certain of the assets to fair value. The tax benefit inherent in
the fair value of an asset is not reflected in the PFI of a non-taxable transaction. For example, the step-up in fixed assets or the fair value of an assembled workforce are not
reflected in the entitys tax basis and the PFI for the transaction excludes this benefit. In order to maintain consistency between the PFI to be used in valuing the customer
relationships and the fair value of the assets to which a CAC will be applied, the PFI should be adjusted to include the cash flow benefits of the increase in the tax basis of the
contributory assets. The Working Group believes that the fair value of an intangible asset should not differ depending on the tax structure of a particular transaction. For
additional discussion on the applicability of TABs see paragraphs 3.1.08 and 4.3.08 in the CAC Monograph and paragraphs 5.3.9 - 5.3.108 in the 2001 AICPA IPR&D Practice
Aid.
When the PFI is adjusted to include the additional cash flow benefit embedded in the fair value of the contributory assets, this results in an Adjusted Entity Value that is greater
than the Entity Value by an amount equal to the present value of the tax benefits related to the increase in tax basis. The Entity Value is recalculated at the WACC/IRR of 10%
to arrive at the Adjusted Entity Value of $4,855. This increase of $109 is equivalent to the present value of the incremental tax benefit related to the step-up in the fixed assets
and the assembled workforce. This Adjusted Entity Value is used only for reconciliation at this phase of the analysis.
The Working Group recognizes that these adjustments might not be significant to the analysis and may be excluded based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

(1) Tax depreciation pursuant to Exhibit A-3 to reflect the fair value of the fixed assets.
(2) Reflects the amortization of the AWF. For purposes of this example the amortization period for the AWF is assumed to be 10 years rather than 15 years as is
required in the U.S. under IRS Code Section 197. 10 years is applied for demonstration purposes as the projections presented are 10 years in length. Tax benefits
related to the future replacement of, or increase in, the AWF are reflected in the operating expenses and no adjustment is required other than for the initial fair value.
(3) The WACC remains at 10%.

Working Capital: Incremental Needs and Contributory Asset Charge Exhibit A-5
The annual average balance of working capital, consistent with assumptions reflected in Exhibits A-1 and A-4, is calculated and an assumed 3% rate of return on working capital
is applied to arrive at the annual CAC (see Section 3 in the CAC Monograph). Working capital used in this analysis excludes non-operating cash and all interest-bearing debt.
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where working capital correlates directly with revenue (as is the case below), discrete annual calculations may not be
required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the relationship between working capital and revenue is
projected to change significantly (e.g., reduced days receivable), the discrete annual analysis would be considered a best practice (as stated in the CAC Monograph). The need
to calculate discrete annual working capital CAC assumptions would be based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

The annual average balance of the fixed assets, consistent with the Adjusted Entity Value projections and the fair value of the fixed assets, is calculated and an after-tax rate of
return (equal to the IRR/WACC) on fixed assets is applied to arrive at the annual CAC for the purpose of the financial overly and PFI reconciliation. In the final analysis, the
required rate of return on tangible assets should be commensurate with the relative risk associated with investment in the fixed assets. See Exhibit B-6 for further discussion. In
this Exhibit A-6, the rate of return is based on the 10% after-tax rate of return consistent with the IRR/WACC. The return of and on the acquired or current and future fixed
assets is based on an 8-year straight-line remaining economic useful life in accordance with Technique A Average Annual Balance.
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a percent of revenue would remain relatively stable (as is the case below) discrete
annual calculations may not be required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a
percent of revenue is projected to change (e.g., increasing asset utilization) then the discrete annual analysis would be considered a best practice. The significance of this
assumption would be based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

Fixed Assets: Contributory Asset Charge Based on Technique B - Level Payment Exhibit A-7
In Technique B, the CAC reflects both the return of and on and is calculated as a series of level annual payments. The CAC should be calculated as a "loan payment" at the
after-tax rate of return, or interest rate (with the loan payment conceptually including both principle and interest). See Exhibit B-7 for further discussion. In this
Exhibit A-7, the rate of return is based on the 10% after-tax rate of return consistent with the IRR/WACC for the purpose of the financial overlay and PFI reconciliation. The
calculation incorporates the fair value of the fixed assets and the remaining useful life for each asset group (waterfall payment) and assumes an 8-year remaining useful life for
capital expenditures in each year, consistent with the Adjusted Entity Value projections and the fair value of the fixed assets.
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a percent of revenue would remain relatively stable (as is the case below) discrete
annual calculations may not be required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a
percent of revenue is projected to change (e.g., increasing asset utilization) then the discrete annual analysis would be appropriate. The materiality of this assumption would be
based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

(1) The level payment related to the acquired Fixed Assets is based on the fair value of the fixed assets of $1,000 with an equal distribution of original cost over the prior
8 years, similar to Exhibit A-6. This waterfall calculation reflects individual level payment calculations for each asset life group.
(2) Sample calculation of the level payment for the acquired fixed assets with a remaining useful life of 4 years is as follows
CAC = -PMT(After-Tax Rate of Return,RUL,Fair Value,Future Value,Type = beginning of period) x (1+Discount Rate)^.5
= -PMT(10%,4,143,0,1) x (1 + 10%)^.5 = 43

(4) Sample calculation of the level payment for the $286 of capital expenditures occurring in Year 1 with a remaining useful life of 8 years is as follows:
Assembled Workforce: Growth Investment and Contributory Asset Charge Exhibit A-8
This exhibit calculates the growth investment in AWF and the return on the AWF (the CAC). The fair value of the acquired or current AWF of $200 is estimated based on the
pre-tax replacement cost.
Future operating expenses include the cost to both grow and maintain the AWF. The initial investment to increase the AWF should be excluded to avoid double counting the
initial investment and the future maintenance expenses. In other words, the return on the AWF would increase due to its growth and future operating expenses provide for
maintaining the increase in the AWF (see CAC Monograph). The Working Group recognizes that this adjustment is generally minor and may be excluded in practice.
However, such an adjustment provides for a complete reconciliation of value in the context of this financial overlay.
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where the relationship between AWF and revenue (e.g., the revenue per employee) remains relatively stable,
discrete annual calculations may not be required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the relationship
is projected to significantly change (e.g., increasing revenue per employee), the discrete annual analysis would be considered a best practice. The need for discrete AWF
calculations (and the resulting AWF CAC) would be based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

This exhibit provides the revenue attrition assumptions for the Trade Name, IP, and Customer Relationships for use in their respective valuations. The revenue projections for
the Trade Name of the acquiring entity, Future IP, and Future and Other Customers are provided for use in the financial overlay and reconciliation to the Adjusted Entity Value.
The derivation of these assumptions is outside of the scope of this Toolkit.

This exhibit provides the assumed valuation of the Trade Names based on the relief from royalty method. This example assumes that the royalty of 5% is stated at a gross
amount and is reduced for the requisite advertising of 0.5%. The present value of this asset is provided for use in the financial overlay reconciliation. The tax amortization
benefit would not be included at this stage because the Adjusted Entity Value to which the reconciliation takes place, has not been revised to include this tax benefit. The tax
amortization benefit is added after the reconciliation and the application of the appropriate discount rate to arrive at fair value.
The trade name may also provide defensive value. While the determination of defensive value is outside of the scope of this Toolkit, the same principles related to CACs would
apply.

Customer Relationships MPEEM: Fixed Asset Contributory Asset Charge Based on Technique A - Average Annual Balance Exhibit A-12
This exhibit uses the Average Annual Balance technique (Technique A) for the calculation of fixed asset CACs in the valuation of customer relationships using an MPEEM.
Aggregate CACs were estimated in the prior exhibits. An analysis of the subject intangible asset should be performed to assess the required levels of contributory assets. The
aggregate CACs on those assets are then allocated appropriately to the subject intangible asset. For the purposes of this example all contributory assets have been assumed
to benefit all customers equally and the CACs are allocated in proportion to revenue. The allocation of CACs is based on facts and circumstances. For example, in other
circumstances a disproportionate amount of the fixed assets may be used to manufacture the products sold to the separately identified customer relationships ($900 in revenue
in Year 1) versus the unidentified customers ($100 in Year 1). In a similar manner, the IP may be disproportionately allocable to the separately identified customer relationships
rather than the unidentified customers.
In addition to the CACs related to working capital, fixed assets and AWF, profit splits in the form of royalty rates were also applied for the use of the trade name and IP. This
example assumes that certain expense items (e.g., advertising and R&D) are included in the royalty rate and have been eliminated from the excess earnings to avoid double
counting the expense.

The financial overlay is a diagnostic analysis to provide for a reconciliation to the Adjusted Entity Value. Such an analysis provides stability to the valuation model by
confirming the apportionment of earnings and value among all of the assets. The inclusion of an analysis of the unidentified excess earni ngs provides an alternative and
direct means of calculating the implied rate of return on the excess purchase price (goodwill) which is generally performed in the context of a WARA. With such a diagnostic
analysis completed, the valuation specialist would then proceed to an assessment of the respective rates of return applicable to the various assets and arrive at estimates of
fair value. This next step of stratifying the rates is demonstrated in the Section B exhibits. A summary of the two techniques applied to the fixed assets are provided in
columns A (Average Annual Balance) and B (Level Payment).

SECTION B:
STRATIFIED RATES
This section of the Toolkit repeats analysis provided in Section A, however asset-specific discount rates are
applied to the respective assets. In addition, a weighted average return on assets (WARA) calculation is
provided and compared to the implied discount rate derived from an explicit analysis of the unidentified excess
earnings.
The required rate of return on each asset should be commensurate with the relative risk associated with
investment in that particular asset. For additional discussion, refer to Section 4 of the Monograph.
This section of the Toolkit uses the same analysis provided in Section A with the application of stratified discount rates to the respective assets. In addition, a WARA calculation is
also provided and compared to the implied discount rate derived from an explicit analysis of the unidentified excess earnings.
This example assumes that all potential entity-specific synergies and related value have been extracted from the PFI and the purchase price. Based on the market participant PFI
and purchase price of $4,746, the IRR of the transaction is calculated to be 10%. In addition, a market-based WACC of 10% is estimated, which reconciles to the IRR. This
example reflects a non-taxable transaction.

expenditures. The differential is dependent on the long term growth rate and the fixed asset depreciation rates. This "wedge" is calculated by extending the capital
expenditure projection at the constant residual year growth rate and calculating the depreciation for each annual period until a stable relationship between capital
expenditures and depreciation is achieved.

(1) 7-Year MACRS applied to the fair value of the fixed assets and projected capital expenditures.
The PFI in this Exhibit is adjusted to reflect the tax benefits that would result from a restatement of the tax basis of certain of the assets to fair value. The tax benefit inherent in
the fair value of an asset is not reflected in the PFI of a non-taxable transaction. For example, the step-up in fixed assets or the fair value of an assembled workforce are not
reflected in the entitys tax basis and the PFI for the transaction excludes this benefit. In order to maintain consistency between the PFI to be used in valuing the customer
relationships and the fair value of the assets to which a CAC will be applied, the PFI should be adjusted to include the cash flow benefits of the increase in the tax basis of the
contributory assets. The Working Group believes that the fair value of an intangible asset should not differ depending on the tax structure of a particu lar transaction. For
additional discussion on the applicability of TABs see paragraphs 3.1.08 and 4.3.08 in the CAC Monograph and paragraphs 5.3.9 - 5.3.108 in the 2001 AICPA IPR&D Practice Aid.
When the PFI is adjusted to include the additional cash flow benefit embedded in the fair value of the contributory assets, this results in an Adjusted Entity Value that is greater than
the Entity Value by an amount equal to the present value of the tax benefits related to the increase in tax basis. The Entity Value is recalculated at the WACC/IRR of 10% to arrive
at the Adjusted Entity Value of $4,855. This increase of $109 is equivalent to the present value of the incremental tax benefit related to the step-up in the fixed assets and the
assembled workforce. This Adjusted Entity Value is used only for reconciliation at this phase of the analysis.
The Working Group recognizes that these adjustments might not be significant to the analysis and may be excluded based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

future replacement of, or increase in, the AWF are reflected in the operating expenses and no adjustment is required other than for the initial fair value.
The purpose of this calculation is to highlight and identify the difference between Entity Value and Adjusted Entity Value. This is provided for clarification purposes and would not be

Working Capital: Incremental Needs and Contributory Asset Charge Exhibit B-5
The annual average balance of working capital, consistent with assumptions reflected in Exhibits B-1 and B-4, is calculated and an assumed 3% rate of return on working capital is
applied to arrive at the annual CAC (see Section 3 in the CAC Monograph). Working capital used in this analysis excludes non-operating cash and all interest-bearing debt.
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where working capital correlates directly with revenue (as is the case below), discrete annual calculations may not be
required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the relationship between working capital and revenue is
projected to change significantly (e.g., reduced days receivable), the discrete annual analysis would be considered a best practice (as stated in the CAC Monograph). The need to
calculate discrete annual working capital CAC assumptions would be based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

further discussion of this adjustment is provided in Exhibit D-4. Note: This calculation does not affect the mid-period discounting convention applied to derive present
value elsewhere.
(2) The 3% after-tax return (CAC) is based on market participant assumptions.
Fixed Assets: Contributory Asset Charge Based on Technique A - Average Annual Balance Exhibit B-6
The annual average balance of the fixed assets, consistent with the Adjusted Entity Value projections and the fair value of the fixed assets, is calculated and an assumed 5% after-
tax rate of return on fixed assets is applied to arrive at the annual CAC (see CAC Monograph). The return of and on the acquired or current and future fixed assets is based on an 8-
year straight-line remaining economic useful life in accordance with Technique A Average Annual Balance. The required rate of return on tangible assets should be commensurate
with the relative risk associated with investment in the fixed assets. The rate of return on tangible assets may be the calculated after-tax interest rate based on such indicators as (a)
observed rates charged by vendor financing, or (b) the weighted average returns for the level of debt and equity financing that could be secured for the tangible assets (see Section 4
of the CAC Monograph for further discussion).
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a percent of revenue would remain relatively stable (as is the case below) discrete annual
calculations may not be required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a percent of
revenue is projected to change (e.g., increasing asset utilization) then the discrete annual analysis would be considered a best practice. The significance of this assumption would
be based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

(3) The 5% after-tax return on is discussed in Section 4 of the CAC Monograph.
Fixed Assets: Contributory Asset Charge Based on Technique B - Level Payment Exhibit B-7
In Technique B, the CAC reflects both the return of and on and is calculated as a series of level annual payments based on an assumed 5% after-tax rate of return on fixed assets
(see CAC Monograph). In this exhibit, the CAC is calculated as a "loan payment" at the after-tax rate of return, or interest rate (with the loan payment conceptually including both
principle and interest). The calculation incorporates the fair value of the fixed assets and the remaining useful life for each asset group (waterfall payment) and assumes an 8-year
remaining useful life for capital expenditures in each year, consistent with the Adjusted Entity Value projections and the fair value of the fixed assets.
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a percent of revenue would remain relatively stable (as is the case below) discrete annual
calculations may not be required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the fixed asset CAC as a percent of
revenue is projected to change (e.g., increasing asset utilization) then the discrete annual analysis would be considered a best practice. The significance of this assumption would
be based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

(1) The level payment related to the acquired Fixed Assets is based on the fair value of the fixed assets of $1,000 with an equal distribution of original cost over the prior 8
years, similar to Exhibit B-6. This waterfall calculation reflects individual level payment calculations for each asset life group.
(2) Sample calculation of the level payment for the acquired fixed assets with a remaining useful life of 4 years is as follows:
CAC = -PMT(After-Tax Rate of Return,RUL,Fair Value,Future Value,Type = beginning of period) x (1+Discount Rate)^.5
= -PMT(5%,4,143,0,1) x (1 + 10%)^.5 = 40

Assembled Workforce: Growth Investment and Contributory Asset Charge Exhibit B-8
(Exhibit A-8)
This exhibit calculates the growth investment in AWF and the return on the AWF (the CAC). The fair value of the acquired or current AWF of $200 is estimated based on the
pre-tax replacement cost.
Future operating expenses include the cost to both grow and maintain the AWF. The initial investment to increase the AWF should be excluded to avoid double counting the initial
investment and the future maintenance expenses. In other words, the return on the AWF would increase due to its growth and future operating expenses provide for maintaining
the increase in the AWF (see CAC Monograph). The Working Group recognizes that this adjustment is generally minor and may be excluded in practice. However, such an
adjustment provides for a complete reconciliation of value in the context of this financial overlay.
The Working Group recognizes that under circumstances where the relationship between AWF and revenue (e.g., the revenue per employee) remains relatively stable, discrete
annual calculations may not be required, as demonstrated in the Practical Expedient in the CAC Monograph. However, in those circumstances where the relationship is projected to
significantly change (e.g., increasing revenue per employee), the discrete annual analysis would be considered a best practice. The need for discrete AWF calculations (and the
resulting AWF CAC) would be based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.

to the entitys overall WACC.
This exhibit provides the revenue attrition assumptions for the Trade Name, IP, and Customer Relationships for use in their respective valuations. The revenue projections for the
Trade Name of the acquiring entity, Future IP, and Future and Other Customers are provided for use in the financial overlay and reconciliation to the Adjusted Entity Value. The
derivation of these assumptions is outside of the scope of this Toolkit.

This exhibit provides the assumed valuation of the Trade Names based on the relief from royalty method. This example assumes that the royalty of 5% is stated at a gross amount
and is reduced for the requisite advertising of 0.5%. The present value of this asset is provided for use in the financial overlay reconciliation. The tax amortization benefit would not
be included at this stage because the Adjusted Entity Value to which the reconciliation takes place, has not been revised to include this tax benefit. The tax amortization benefit is
added after the reconciliation and the application of the appropriate discount rate to arrive at fair value.
The trade name may also provide defensive value. While the determination of defensive value is outside of the scope of this Toolkit, the same principles related to CACs would
apply.

Customer Relationships MPEEM: Fixed Asset Contributory Asset Charge Based on Technique A - Average Annual Balance Exhibit B-12
This exhibit uses the Average Annual Balance technique (Technique A) for the calculation of fixed asset CACs in the valuation of customer relationships using an MPEEM.
Aggregate CACs were estimated in the prior exhibits. An analysis of the subject intangible asset should be performed to assess the required levels of contributory assets. The
aggregate CACs on those assets are then allocated appropriately to the subject intangible asset. For the purposes of this example all contributory assets have been assumed to
benefit all customers equally and the CACs are allocated in proportion to revenue. The allocation of CACs is based on facts and circumstances. For example, in other
circumstances a disproportionate amount of the fixed assets may be used to manufacture the products sold to the separately identified customer relationships ($900 in revenue in
Year 1) versus the unidentified customers ($100 in Year 1). In a similar manner, the IP may be disproportionately allocable to the separately identified customer relationships rather
than the unidentified customers.
In addition to the CACs related to working capital, fixed assets and AWF, profit splits in the form of royalty rates were also applied for the use of the trade name and IP. This
example assumes that certain expense items (e.g., advertising and R&D) are included in the royalty rate and have been eliminated from the excess earnings to avoid double
counting the expense.

The comprehensive nature of this diagnostic financial overlay provides assurance that the entity's PFI has been fully apportioned among the assets (Section A) and detailed insight
into the implied rate of return for the excess purchase price (goodwill). With such a framework, the relative value of all assets (both separately identified assets and the excess
purchase price/goodwill) should be assessed for reasonableness and assumptions modified as appropriate. Such an assessment could include a reassessment or consideration of
issues such as the following:
Relative rates of return and discount rates, both derived and implied;
Magnitude of the residual value (excess purchase price or goodwill);
Royalty rates and other revenue or profit split assumptions;
Allocation of the respective CACs to the current and future assets; and
Other assumptions based on the facts and circumstances specific to the analysis.
This assessment of relative values should give specific consideration to the tax benefit of depreciation or amortization that has been incorporated into the respective asset values
and not for those assets to which the value of this tax benefit has not yet been added (such as those assets valued by the relief from royalty method, representing a profit split in the
MPEEM rather than a CAC). This assessment is performed in the context of the Adjusted Entity Value, therefore the value reconciliation and calculation of the implied rate of return
on the excess purchase price should be performed with assumptions consistent with those in the Adjusted Entity Value. For example, the Entity Value was adjusted for the tax
benefit of depreciating the fair value of the fixed assets and amortizing the AWF, therefore the reconciliation should consider the fair value of these assets. The tax amortization
benefit related to the other separately identified intangible assets (acquired entity trade name, IP, and customer relationships) should be applied after the reconciliation is performed
as this benefit has not been included in the PFI.
An alternative approach would be to include the tax amortization benefit of all the intangible assets to arrive at the Adjusted Entity Value and the assets in the reconciliation.
However, such an approach creates additional complexities and should result in the same outcome as demonstrated in this example.
A summary of the two techniques applied to the fixed assets are provided in columns A (Average Annual Balance) and B (Level Payment). These columns A&B provide the
reconciliation to the Adjusted Entity Value excluding the tax depreciation/amortization benefit for all assets except the fixed assets and AWF (as these cash flow benefits are included
in the Adjusted Entity Value). Columns FV A & FV B are inclusive of the TAB for all assets as indicated. This calculation is provided as it serves as the basis for the WARA
calculation in Exhibit B-18.

The WARA analysis is applied to the fair value of the assets and the implied rate of return on goodwill (excess purchase price) is calculated. The purpose of the WARA is the
assessment of the reasonableness of the asset-specific returns for separately identified intangible assets and the implied (or calculated) return on the goodwill (excess purchase
price). The WARA then should be compared to the derived market-based WACC (see CAC Monograph).
Note: the implied rate of return on the goodwill (excess purchase price) in this WARA calculation is 12.2% compared to the explicit calculation of 13.05% in Exhibit A-17. This
differential is due to the embedded rounding nature of the WARA calculation and the impact of the timing of the cash flows.
SECTION C:
INDIVIDUAL ASSET
RECONCILIATIONS
This section of the Toolkit provides an analysis of the respective assets individually to demonstrate the
application of the CAC methodology to the various contributory assets. These calculations are the same as those
performed in Section A and provide a reconciliation to the Adjusted Entity Value for each of the contributory
assets. Stratified rates of return also have been applied to the working capital and fixed asset examples to
demonstrate their individual calculations. The purpose of these individual examples is to provide the user with
examples of the respective calculations on a stand-alone basis to isolate the specific calculations.
Each of these examples applies the CAC calculations in the context of the Adjusted Entity Value and does not
provide for the next step of apportioning the excess income among other assets. The intent of the reconciliation
process is to demonstrate that the aggregate MPEEM adjusted for each of the respective contributory assets
results in the following relationship:
Aggregate present value of the Multi-Period Excess Earnings after consideration of a given
contributory asset in isolation (as if it were the only contributory asset)
+ fair value of the assumed sole contributory asset = Adjusted Entity Value
This analysis isolates the working capital CAC in the financial overlay provided in Section A. As in Section A, this analysis is performed in aggregate and applied in the context
of an aggregate MPEEM (e.g., Adjusted Entity Value projections and the working capital CAC only). The annual average balance of the working capital, consistent with the
Adjusted Entity Value projections, is calculated and the IRR/WACC 10% rate of return is applied to arrive at the annual CAC.
The outcome of this analysis demonstrates that when the CACs are applied to working capital in the context of the Adjusted Entity Value, no value is created or destroyed in the
context of the entity as a whole.

SECTION D:
MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES
This section of the Toolkit provides a discussion and analysis of other types of contributory assets and
additional issues.
Non-compete valuations vary widely based on the facts and circumstances of each case and the impact they have on the component assets of an entity. This sample analysis assumes
that a non-compete agreement affects all of the entity's intangible assets. The issue arises in the application of CACs to the various intangible assets for the value of the non-compete
agreement. This example assumes that the non-compete agreement's value is determined through a "with and without competition" analysis.
For the purposes of this example, the following changes in the Exhibit A-4 Adjusted Entity Value assumptions (which reflect the appropriate probability adjustments) were made for the
scenario where the non-compete was not in place:
Revenue is 80% of the Adjusted Entity Value projection for years 1 - 5 (the contractual period of the non-compete);
Current customer marketing increased by 15% for years 1 - 5 to respond to the increased competition; and
Incremental working capital is reduced to correlate with the revenue reduction.
Based on the following example, the Adjusted Entity Value is reduced to $4,366. Applying the analysis provided in Sections A and B to this reduced Adjusted Entity Value will provide for
an application of the CAC for the non-compete to the analysis of the respective assets.
Alternatively, where the non-compete provides for the protection of specific subject assets, an alternative form of an income split may be appropriate. Exhibit D-1a provides a sample of
this approach.

(2) From Adjusted Entity Value Exhibit A-4.
(3) This differential is assumed to be attributable to the non-compete agreement and would be adjusted for a TAB as appropriate.
Non-Compete Agreements (Alternative Approach - Specific Asset Income Split) Exhibit D-1a
The facts and circumstances inherent in the non-compete valuation may require an income split specific to the respective assets. The following example assumes that the protection
afforded by the non-compete is limited to the customer relationships, current trade name and the IP. The process of splitting the income is more direct than calculating the return on and
of the non-compete and then in turn allocating the annual CAC, therefore such an approach is not provided herein.
The following specific income split calculations are NOT indended to be a best practice but are provided solely for demonstration purposes. The facts and circumstances, as well as the
specific assumptions used in the valuation of the non-compete, must be considered in preparing such an analysis.
Note: these allocated amounts can be deducted directly from the respective asset projections. Alternatively, the present value of these allocated amounts can be deducted from the
respective present values of the subject assets (prior to the application of the TAB).
Favorable and unfavorable leases or contracts represent contractual terms that are not stated at market rates. The differential in the after-tax income is typically attributable to such assets
or liabilities. The MPEEM should use market participant PFI that would reflect the market rates rather that the favorable or unfavorable rates. Therefore, the Working Group believes that
it would be appropriate to remove the favorable or unfavorable terms from the Adjusted Entity Value projections to arrive at market participant PFI. The analysis in Section A would then be
performed based on the restated Adjusted Entity Value projections that exclude the impact of the favorable or unfavorable terms.
The fair value of the favorable or unfavorable aspect of the leases or contracts would, however, be included in the WARA analysis as they would be a component of the purchase price.
The following demonstrates a beneficial lease adjustment that would be applied to arrive at an Adjusted Entity Value.

Paragraph 3.4.03 in the CAC Monograph notes that there are methods that tax-effect EBITDA rather than EBIT in a CAC calculation. The following discussion addresses a method that
tax-effects EBITDA in the context of Technique B Level Payment.
In this method, the CACs are incorporated in the MPEEM, in any given year, as follows:
EBITDA
Less: Taxes
Debt free net income
Less: Level Payment CAC (return of and on the fixed assets excluding tax depreciation benefit)
Equals: Excess earnings
Using a method that tax-effects EBITDA assumes that the subject entity does not have the right to the tax benefit of depreciating the fixed assets and the CAC is applied to tax-effected
EBITDA. Because the tax benefit of depreciation is removed from the projections by tax-effecting EBITDA, it is necessary to calculate the CAC based on the fair value of the acquired
fixed assets and projected capital expenditures excluding the tax benefit of depreciation in order to be consistent. The following example demonstrates this reconciliation.
The waterfall payments used to represent the fixed asset CACs when applying Technique B are calculated below. Note that they are lower than those in Exhibit A-7 because the fixed
asset value on which the CAC is being taken excludes the tax benefit of depreciation:

2 and 4, effectively removes the tax benefit from the fair value of the fixed assets. See the EBIT & EBITDA Reconciliation at the bottom of Exhibit D-3a for a demonstation of how
the use of a pre-tax rate of return removes the tax benefit from the fair value of the fixed assets.
(2) Sample calculation of the level payment for the acquired fixed assets with a remaining useful life of 4 years is as follows:
CAC = -PMT(Pre-Tax Rate of Return,RUL,Fair Value,Future Value,Type = beginning of period) x ( 1- Tax Rate) x (1+Pre-tax Discount Rate)^.5
= -PMT(16.7%,4,143,0,1) x (1 - 40%) x (1 + 16.7%)^.5 = 29
(4) Sample calculation of the level payment for the $286 of capital expenditures occurring in Year 1 with a remaining useful life of 8 years is as follows:
CAC = -PMT(Pre-Tax Rate of Return,RUL,Fair Value,Future Value,Type = beginning of period) x (1 - Tax Rate)
= -PMT(16.7%,8,286,0,1) x (1 - 40%) = 35
Fixed Asset CAC Based on Technique B - Level Payment and Reconciliation (Tax-effected EBITDA) Exhibit D-3a
This exhibit is similar to Exhibit C-3 except that it uses the revised level payments (excluding the tax benefit of depreciation). This analysis isolates the Level Payment fixed asset CAC in
the financial overlay provided in Section A. As in Section A, this analysis is performed in aggregate and applied in the context of an aggregate MPEEM (e.g., Adjusted Entity Value
projections and the fixed asset CAC based on the Level Payment technique only). The annual average balance of the fixed assets, consistent with the Adjusted Entity Value projections, is
calculated and the IRR/WACC 10% rate of return is applied to arrive at the annual CAC.
The outcome of this analysis demonstrates that when the CACs are applied to the Level Payment fixed assets in the context of the Adjusted Entity Value, no value is created or destroyed
in the context of the entity as a whole.

Fixed Asset CAC Based on Technique B - Level Payment and Reconciliation (Tax-effected EBITDA) (Continued) Exhibit D-3a
Note that this analysis also results in a reasonable reconciliation to the Adjusted Entity Value. Therefore, in principle this alternative method provides the expected outcome. However,
inherent in the application of this method is an adjustment to the fair value of the fixed assets equivalent to removing the tax depreciation benefit ("TDB").
In the calculation below, the present value of the CACs ($684) incorporated in the analysis above is less than the fair value of the fixed assets ($1,000). This difference of $316 consists of
(and approximates) the present value of the tax depreciation benefit of $319 (difference due to rounding). An alternative application of the Microsoft Excel PMT function may be based on
the fair value of the fixed assets excluding the tax benefit of depreciation and an after-tax discount rate which results in the same outcome as the formulas above.

The Working Group recognizes that this approach results in equivalent outcomes as those derived from tax-effecting EBIT. However, in order to arrive at such an outcome the CACs are
based on an adjusted fair value of the fixed assets. The Working Group believes that calculating the CACs on a measure other than fair value should not be considered a best practice.
A mid-period adjustment factor has been applied in the calculation of the return on contributory assets in this Toolkit. The Working Group recognizes that this adjustment is generally
minor and its application is based on the judgment of the valuation specialist.
CACs that are calculated on an average balance make the simplifying assumption that the subject contributory asset remains constant at the average balance over each respective year.
Where the beginning and ending balances are different this averaging assumption skews the present value impact of the CAC. Although a more precise calculation would recognize the
change in the asset over the year, such calculations would add an excessive level of precision in the analysis and are not warranted. The mid-period adjustment is a reasonable
alternative that adjusts for this effect.
The calculations below are applied to a single asset with a five year economic life. As discussed in the CAC Monograph, the PV of the CACs should equate to the FV of the contributory
asset so that value is neither created nor destroyed in the context of the MPEEM. Three calculations are provided: (1) an annual calculation without the adjustment, (2) an annual
calculation with the adjustment, and (3) a daily calculation without the adjustment. The daily adjustment reflects the changing nature of the contributory asset over the respective periods
and results in a PV equal to the FV. The use of the mid-period adjustment in the annual analysis provides for a PV of charges more closely approximating the FV than that without the
adjustment.

(1) In this exhibit, the assumed fair value of the fixed assets is $1,000 and declines linearly over its remaining 5 year economic life.
(2) A 15% rate of return is applied to the average annual balance and to discount the annual CACs. In the calculations on the right side, a mid-period adjustment factor of .9325 is
applied to the annual return on charges, as indicated in the heading.
(3) The CAC equals the sum of the economic depreciation (return of ) and return on the average balance.
(4) The present value of the CACs exceeds the fair value of the fixed assets absent a mid-period adjustment factor.
(5) The CACs are calculated based on a daily analysis (360 day year). Days 6-1795 are not displayed.
(6) A 15% rate of return applied on a daily basis.
(7) Calculated on a daily basis.
(8) Reconciles to the fair value of the fixed assets.
Where the transaction is an asset acquisition, the tax benefit of amortization is applicable to all intangible value. The following example adds to the Adjusted Entity Value the additional tax
benefit related to all separately identified intangible assets and goodwill in excess of the AWF as the structure of the transaction will allow the acquirer to avail itself of these tax benefits.
As a result, in this exhibit's scenario, the purchase price is $5,765. The higher purchase price is justified by recognition of the TABs in the PFI.
An alternative to the approach provided in Section A would be to incorporate these incremental tax benefits into the respective assets and allocate the tax benefit to the respective assets
(including goodwill/excess purchase price). The outcome would be the same with a proper allocation of the tax amortization benefits as that resulting from the procedure provided in
Section A. However, in that the allocation of the tax benefit adds complexity to the analysis the Working Group believes that the procedure provided in Section A would be appropriate.

When negative working capital is the norm for an industry, the timing of the cash receipts increases an entity's value due to the present value impact. In the context of a financial overlay,
the fair value of the assets should reconcile to the entity value. As such, the increase in the entity value due to the negative working capital must be reflected in the working capital CAC.
Therefore, where negative working capital is included in the PFI, a negative CAC should be applied, increasing the cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset.
This analysis isolates the application of a CAC where there is negative working capital. For the purposes of this analysis, the margins were reduced and working capital is assumed to be
-50% of revenue to emphasize the relative impact of negative working capital. The Entity Value has been recalculated to exclude any depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures
for simplicity.
Negative working capital CACs are applied to the aggregate Entity Value based first on a rate of return consistent with the IRR/WACC to provide a reconciliation to the Entity Value in a
financial overlay (in the same manner as that presented in Exhibit C-1). A second calculation is then provided based on stratified rates. It is noteworthy here that when applying a lower
rate of return to the negative working capital, the implied rate of return for the aggregate excess earnings is reduced from 10% to 7.7%. This results from the reduced benefit attributable
to the negative CAC (return on declining from 10% to 3%) decreasing the aggregate prospective excess earnings, which must then be discounted at a lower rate to reconcile to the entity
value. This is consistent with the findings in Exhibit C-1a (although in reverse because in this exhibit the working capital is negative). The implied rate of return based on stratified rates
and a WARA are also calculated.

A technique that has been described as the Gross Lease technique has been proposed by certain respondents as an alternative to the Average Annual Balance and Level Payment
techniques. The basis of the Gross Lease technique is that it provides for an arm's length economic rent for the hypothetical leasing of the contributory asset. It represents the lease
payment that the lessee would have to pay to the lessor to rent the contributory asset in lieu of its outright ownership. The Gross Lease technique considers the economic value of the
contributory asset, its economic life and both the return of and return on that a lessor would expect to receive to provide a market-based rate of return.
Under this technique, the valuation specialist would solve for the lease payment that provides the lessor both a return of the principal invested in the contributory asset and a return on the
investment for the opportunity cost of capital. In a manner similar to the Level Payment technique, the Gross Lease payments incorporate the annual beginning balance of the fixed assets
and a weighted remaining useful life of each respective balance. The CACs reflect an amount for each equivalent remaining useful life asset group (waterfall payment) for the acquired
fixed assets and capital expenditures. As such, the analysis requires the valuation specialist to solve for the lease payment for each of the respective age groups of the acquired fixed
assets as well as for each annual amount of capital expenditures. This waterfall and a sample of two of the calculations are provided below.
To demonstrate the application of the Gross Lease technique it has been applied to the customer relationship analysis. All other CACs and adjustments discussed in Exhibit B-12 remain
the same. The outcome of this technique ($714) is consistent with that of the Average Annual Balance technique ($719, Exhibit B-12) and the Level Payment technique ($737, Exhibit B-13).
