Executive Summary 
The market mostly overvalues the financial assets due to speculation. This makes it difficult to 
calculate the proper value of a firm. The intrinsic value should be used to take informed 
decisions. Therefore, information from financial statements should be used to calculate the value 
of a company. The main objective of this paper is to determine the intrinsic value of a non-listed 
company. The market is used as a benchmark to calculate the intrinsic value of a company. U.S. 
publicly-traded investment companies are supposed to report the total market value of each of 
their funds in accordance to generally accepted principles, including suitable guidelines for the 
valuation of unlisted securities. The total market value of a company can be known as intrinsic 
value, investment value, fair value, net asset value or any other similar term. The significant 
aspect is that the methodology used in valuation shall be disclosed so that informed decisions can 
be taken by the investors. 
In case of unlisted securities, there is no objective market price to function as a proxy for value, 
so a subjective measure is unavoidable. This makes the scope for abuse in the valuation of 
unlisted securities. The proportion of abuse is restricted by two aspects. Firstly, in most 
companies unlisted shares consist of a small percentage of total asset value. Secondly, the 
disclosed method of calculating a price for each unlisted security is based on assumptions, like 
forecast of future cash flows, which should be made open and be reasonable. 
The valuation methods and assumptions selected to calculate the prices of unlisted securities 
show whether the investors are aggressive or conservative. This information also enables 
investors to take better informed decisions.

Introduction  
Intrinsic Value is the perceived market value of a stock and is considered as a significant aspect 
by the investors when deciding which investment to choose for investment. Intrinsic Value is 
also known as fair value. Various methods or techniques are used to evaluate whether the 
intrinsic value of a security is higher or less than the current market price. This helps the investor 
to determine whether the stock is overvalued or undervalued. In estimating the intrinsic value of 
a stock, the appropriate margin of safety can be determined by the investor, where the market 
price is less than the estimated intrinsic value. By leaving a cushion between the least market 
value and the intrinsic value,
