Inventory Valuations

Inventory valuations on behalf of asset based lenders, company managers, and their advisors have taken on increasing significance during the 1990's. Clients often need additional valuation information beyond the scope of cost-based accounting measures. M.E.I. Corporation can provide inventory valuation services that fit these needs.

In most cases, our work plan will require the following data:

Facility Information
The location(s) of the assets and/or concentrations of inventory will affect our planning. If centralized accounting at a major site can provide data for all locations, this usually suffices and can curtail expenses.
Accounting Information
If a costed perpetual inventory can be provided in advance of our visit, this facilitates early analysis and effective site visit planning.
Management Introduction
A brief (usually <30 minutes) phone interview with management of the appraisal subject can inform us of distribution channels, production methods, etc. which can aid in engagement planning and cost estimation.

inventory and plant valuations With the three elements cited above, M.E.I. Corporation can in most cases provide a fee estimate and a fixed pricing proposal to the engaging parties. In many instances, our firm can provide preliminary valuation results (without narrative) within five business days of a site visit. In turn, we also are mindful of the time required for peer review of our work by the engaging organization before release to the ultimate client.

Our inventory valuation reports are supported by the analytical results of our site visit, review of trade/technical press data about the industry in question, and blind interviewing of third party industry observers/participants. Our valuations have been tested via actual liquidation and found to be acceptable.

We encourage you to pose any questions regarding our inventory valuation services or our joint venture fixed asset inventory management system.
