Valuation of Shares
Types of shares
Preference shares: Carries 2 rights as per section 85 of Companies Act. They have a right to receive dividend at a fixed rate before any dividend is paid on equity shares. On winding up of the Company, they have a right on return on capital before anything is paid to equity shareholders.
Equity shares: Is a share which is not a preference share. They control the affairs of business hence have right to profits after all preference dividend is paid off.
Valuation Of Shares
The necessity of valuation arises out of following reasons: 1. When a block of share is to be purchased so as to acquire controlling interest on amalgamation or merger of companies. 2. When the company is nationalized and the shareholders of the company are compensated by the government. 3. When the shares are to be taken as a security against loan. 4. When a class of shares is converted to another class of share or debenture. 5. When the partners of a company jointly hold some shares of a company for ascertaining the amount to be distributed among the partners on dissolution. 6. Under the scheme of nationalization when the shares of the company are taken over by the government
Net worth: All the credit balances appearing in the balance sheet should be carefully studied so for accumulated profits & reserves may not be considered . All ficticious assets should be excluded. Special care should be taken to include assets and liabilities that are not disclosed in the balance sheet. Goodwill: It comprises of a real asset in a sense that it may be sold for value n hence it is rational to include the value of goodwill.
Without separation of goodwill.

Intrinsic value of each fully paid equity share = net assets available for equtiy shareholders No of equity shares
2 .Yield method
Under this method profit determines the value of shares. 1. On the basis of expected return on capital employed. 2. On the basis of expected future dividends.
A. Return On Capital Basis: Rate of return on capital x paid up value per share Normal rate of return (Rate of return: profit earned /capital employed) x 100
Where,
Profit earned means: less debenture interest and preference dividend but after charging income tax. Capital employed includes share capital, long term loans, and reserves
The method to be used in valuation depends on the number of shares involved When large block of shares involved: return on capital employed When small number of shares involved : dividend basis
xxx Less: Expenses & losses not incurred so far, but likely to be incurred in future Less: : Income & Gain not earned so far, but likely to be earned in the future xx xx xx
xxx
The capital employed should mean Equity capital employed as i.e. Equity capital plus retained earning. The preference share capital, The Long term borrowing and debentures were to be excluded.
Rate of earning
= Profits after interest, tax & preference dividend X 100 Equity capital
Capitalized Value of profits = Future Maintainable Profits X100 Normal Rate of Return
5. Fair value
Some authorities are of the view that neither the intrinsic value nor the yield value is correct but the proper method of valuation is to take average of both the methods.
Formula: (Intrinsic value + yield value)/2 Or Intrinsic value + Capitalized/Earning capacity 2
continued In the case preference shares are cumulative and participating then besides arrears they will also be entitled to shares in the surplus of the company, left after returning equity capital. However, if the preference shares do not have any preference (priority) with regard to repayment of capital and dividend, the values of preference shares shall be calculated as if these are equity shares If preference shares are non-cumulative and nonparticipating the value of each preference shares shall be equal to its paid up value If preference shares are cumulative and non-participating the value will be determined after arrears of preference dividend are added back to their paid up capital
