hope all is well on your end of the world

long story man--I will tell you when I get a chance.

Samoth--value Goodwill/going concern (easy way) by assigning a value to everything else--then, what is left is goodwill--I have to do this all the time w/asset purchase/equity sales. It is usually good enough for the IRS--the problem is that you will usually be asked to minimize that number--that's the hard part.

Aaaand ordered The Market Approach as well. tytyty, these will certainly help me in my pursuit of weirdness!

Ordered Reilly's Valuing Intangible Assets as well. Any recommendations on how goodwill is valued and amortized (pre-GAAP 142)? I find the imparement thing hard to visualize.

And I'll take the "weird" quip as a compliment!

$53.97 from Amazon, ordered tonight. I will work through this book and PM you when I finish! Thanks, man. I work in a chem lab, so I don't know many people finance or accounting knowledge. Thanks!

Any good suggestions on corporate accouning related to investors... specifically reading and deciphering the income/cash flow/balance statements and their interconnectedness, details on revenue recognition, company valuations, etc. Assume I have a heavy quant background and have worked through intermediate-level accounting textbooks (Amazon.com: Intermediate Accounting, 12th Edition (9780471749554): Donald E. Kieso, Jerry J. Weygandt, Terry D. Warfield: Books) and am looking to further my knowledge, but have no formal (i.e., university-level) accounting experience or training, nor real-world (corporate) experience.

Got any suggestions/links for good accounting books/texts? Something intermediate level...

thanks! that was taken a few days before I had the baby

Thanks bro
