Purchase Price Allocations

Houlihan is the preeminent provider of SFAS 141 purchase price allocations. We had significant input into the development of SFAS 141 and in the implementation guidance issued subsequently by the FASB. We have an in-depth understanding of the valuation requirements outlined in the statement as well as the key issues of concern to the SEC.

PPAs are valuations of acquired tangible and separately recognizable intangible assets, and the establishment of remaining useful lives. In a PPA valuation, total purchase price in an acquisition is allocated amongst these assets based upon a rigorous determination of their relative fair values.
