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.
