6.{M}a.Brandnamesareclearlyanasset.However,itisnotclearthattheseassetsshouldbeshownoncorporatebalancesheets.
Oneadvantageofrecognizingbrandnamesiscompleteness;
abalancesheetthatignoresmajorfirmassetsisoflimiteduseforanalysis.Anotheradvantageisthatthecostofacquiringordevelopingabrandnameshouldberecordedasaninvestment(asset)inordertoproperlymatchrevenuesandexpenses.
Themajordisadvantageofbrandnamerecognitionisthedifficultyofpropermeasurement.Aseachbrandnameisunique,markettransactionsarenotavailabletovaluethebrand.Thus,thevaluerecognizedissubjective;
differencesacrossfirmsmayreflecteitherrealdifferencesinthevalueofthebrandsordifferentmeasurementdecisions.
Oneapproachinvolvescapitalizationoftheacquisitioncost(forpurchasedbrands)ortheadvertisingandotherdevelopmentcosts(forinternallydevelopedbrands).Inthelattercase,itisunlikelythatthevalueofthebrandwillbeequaltothecostofdevelopment.Asuccessfulbrandwillbeworthmuchmorethanthecostofitsdevelopment;
anunsuccessfulbrandmayhavenovalueatall.(Thesecharacteristicsmayalsodescribeacquiredbrands.)
Further,thevalueofbrandschangesovertime.DespitethequotationfromLaing,brandscanalsobecome"
dilapidated"
iftheyareneglected,iftheadvertisingispoor,oriftheproductsaredefective.Thevalueofbrandswillalsobeaffectedbychangesinmarketconditions,e.g.,pricingdecisionsandtheinroadsmadebygenericproducts.
Fromthepointofviewoffinancialanalysis,therefore,itisnotclearthatreportingmanagement'
sestimateofbrandvaluewouldbehelpful.The"
proofofthepuddingisintheeating"
andavaluablebrandshouldbehighlyprofitable.Theevaluationofthatprofitabilitymightbebetterlefttothemarketplace.
b.Theadvantageofamortizationisthattheincomestatementshouldreflectallexpensesthathelpproduceincome.Ifprofitabilityisduetothebrandname,theamortizationofitsacquisitioncostshouldbeanelementofexpense.
Ontheotherhand,giventhesubjectivityofbrandnamevaluation,theamortizationamount(alsoaffectedbythechoiceofmethodandlife)maybeapoormeasureoftheexpiredvalue.Inaddition,brandnamesmaynotdeclineinvalueovertime;
anydeclineislikelytobeirregular.
Forpurposesofanalysis,therefore,theamortizationofbrandnameintangibleassetsshouldbeexcludedfromincome.Theevaluationofprofitability,however,shouldconsidertheroleofbrandnames.
