Depreciation & Valuation

Technology change can impact the life-time and value of a firm's assets and lines of business. This is true for both new and existing technologies. Technology-aware depreciation and valuation are critical for financial reporting, mergers and acquisitions, sales of assets or business lines, pricing of goods and services, cash flow projections, and business planning. They are also critical in legal proceedings involving regulation, bankruptcy, damages, property taxes, and income taxes. TFI has over 20 years experience in providing analyses and forecasts supporting depreciation and valuations of all types. We have also provided expert witness testimony in over 45 jurisdictions. Often these cases revolve around the need to properly gauge the impact of rapidly evolving technology, intense competition, and physical deterioration on asset lives and valuations.
