La mutation des économies a transformé les richesses en profondeur en les désincarnant. Ce phénomène s’est traduit par l’accroissement de valeurs sans matière au sein des entreprises et, incidemment, lorsqu’elles éprouvent des difficultés. La notion d’actifs incorporels place la valeur au centre des préoccupations et renvoie à une réalité tant juridique qu’économique. Cette approche révèle leur singularité dans un contexte de défaillance à travers l’observation des opérations d’évaluation et de réalisation. D’une part, l’évaluation des actifs incorporels se montre défectueuse, révélant les carences de la comptabilité française, qui peine à retranscrire la valeur de ces actifs, et plus largement, mettant en exergue les limites des méthodes d’évaluation de ces actifs dans un contexte de difficulté. D’autre part, la réalisation des actifs incorporels est complexifiée par les modes de cession ou des garanties constituées. Ainsi, la singularité des actifs incorporels rend difficile leur maîtrise. Partant, des solutions peuvent être trouvées dans le cadre du droit des entreprises en difficulté. Une grille de lecture des actifs incorporels peut d’ores et déjà s’articuler autour de la valeur et de son interaction avec l’exploitation. Certains actifs incorporels, tels qu’un logiciel ou un fichier-client, sont directement corrélés à l’activité de l’entreprise et ont tendance à se dévaloriser au fur et à mesure des difficultés de celle-ci. D’autres actifs incorporels, tels les créances et les droits sociaux, reposant sur des éléments extérieurs à l’entreprise, ne perdent pas automatiquement leur valeur en présence de difficultés. La division des actifs incorporels peut donc s’opérer entre les actifs incorporels dont la valeur s’établit à l’aune de l’exploitation, et ceux dont la valeur ne lui est pas directement liée. Ces actifs incorporels suscitent par ailleurs une évolution du droit des entreprises en difficulté au niveau des opérations d’évaluation et de réalisation afin d’être mieux appréhendés. La prise en compte de ces évolutions est indispensable. L’importance grandissante des actifs incorporels au sein des entreprises en difficulté, ne doit pas être ignorée au risque sinon de les affaiblir davantage, de décrédibiliser le cadre judiciaire du traitement des entreprises en difficulté. / The mutation of the economy has fundamentally transformed wealth by disembodying it. This has led to the increase in intangible wealth within companies and, incidentally, when they experience difficulties. The concept of intangible assets places centers on value and refers to both a legal and economic reality. This approach reveals their exceptional character in a context of default by observing operations related to valuation and transfer. On the one hand, the valuation of intangible assets is defective, revealing the shortcomings of French accounting, which struggles to translate the value of these assets, and more broadly, highlights the limits of the methods used to value these assets in a difficult context. On the other hand, the transfer of intangible assets is made more complex by the methods of sale or guarantees provided. Thus, the exceptional nature of intangible assets makes them difficult to master. However, solutions can be found in law governing companies in financial difficulty. An index for measuring intangible assets can already be based on value and its interaction with business operations. Some intangible assets, such as software or client files, are directly correlated to the company's activity and tend to devalue as the company's difficulties arise. Other intangible assets, such as receivables and social rights, based on elements external to the company, do not automatically lose their value in the event of difficulties. The division of intangible assets can therefore be made between those intangible assets whose value is established based on exploitation, and those whose value is not directly related to it. Consideration of valuation and transfer operations in relation to intangible assets has led to changes in the law governing companies in difficulty. It is essential to take these developments into account. The growing importance of intangible assets within companies in difficulty must not be ignored at the risk of weakening them further and undermining the judicial framework for such companies.

The aim of the master’s thesis is to analyze potential of methodical approach during construction company evaluation in the period of economical fluctuation. Building industry is the activity that is very sensitive towards market and economy swings. Their impacts significantly influence the attitude towards evaluation and prize in the building industry. Construction companies are affected by economy swings. Therefore, in my master’s thesis, I analyze different approaches towards their evaluation and also methods of the prize determination.

The purpose of the study is to compare the valuation process and the selection of value-influencing factors for single-unit residentials properties between Spain and Sweden in a sales context, and to examine how the process is influenced by data availability about comparable properties. This to provide a basis for increased understanding, well-informed purchasing decisions and lessons learned between the markets. The study was conducted through interviews with nine real estate agents, distributed over Spain and Sweden, and the results were put in relation to previous research on the subject. The results were analyzed in the perspective of Resource Dependence Theory and Efficient Market Hypothesis.  It was found that the processes are largely similar, both anchored in comparable properties. The choices of value-influencing factors proved to be relatively similar. A major difference emerged: Spanish real estate agents have access to lower quality and quantity of data on comparable properties, particularly in terms of sales prices, and therefore rely more on listing prices that do not necessarily reflect actual market values. It was found that Swedish real estate agents rely on data and are more dependent on it compared to their Spanish counterparts. With this dependence, it was also found that external actors exert greater control over the Swedish real estate agents' processes. As it was established that the Spanish real estate market is less transparent than the Swedish one, a lower degree of market efficiency was found to prevail in the Spanish real estate market compared to the Swedish market. / Studiens syfte är att jämföra mäklares värderingsprocess och val av värdepåverkande faktorer hos småhus med bostadsändamål i försäljningssyfte mellan Spanien och Sverige, och undersöka hur processen influeras av datatillgång om jämförelseobjekt. Detta för att ge utrymme för ökad förståelse, välinformerade köpbeslut och lärdomar marknaderna emellan. Studien genomfördes via intervjuer med nio mäklare, fördelade över Spanien och Sverige, och resultaten ställdes i relation till den tidigare forskningen i ämnet. Resultaten analyserades ur perspektivet av Resource Dependence Theory och Efficient Market Hypothesis.  Det kan fastslås att värderingsprocesserna liknar varandra i sin helhet, båda sker med stöd av jämförelseobjekt. Valen av värdepåverkande faktorer visade sig vara relativt lika. En stor skillnad uppdagades, att spanskverkande mäklare har tillgång till sämre kvalitet på och lägre kvantitet av data om jämförelseobjekten, framförallt i form av försäljningspriser, och därför i högre grad använder sig av utropspriser som inte nödvändigtvis reflekterar ett faktiskt marknadsvärde. Det kan konstateras att de svenskverkande mäklarna förlitar sig på data och är beroende av den i större omfattning än de spanska. Med denna beroendeställning kan det även konstateras att externa aktörer besitter större kontroll över de svenskverkande mäklarnas process. Då det konstaterades att den spanska fastighetsmarknaden var mindre transparent än den svenska kunde en lägre grad av effektiv marknad fastställas råda på den spanska fastighetsmarknaden än på den svenska.

This paper examines the different share valuation methods and principles likely to be used by a court in determining the fair value of dissenting shareholders’ shares in appraisal proceedings in terms of section 164(14) of the Companies Act 2008. It is submitted that the valuation principles and methods used by the courts will affect the operation of the triggering actions contemplated in subsections 164(2)(a) - (b). It is proposed that section 164 court appraisals are likely to be guided by the valuation methods and principles developed in section 252 and section 440K court appraisals under the Companies Act 1973, as well as by the decisions of the courts in the state of Delaware relating to share valuations under the appraisal remedy. It is further proposed that the purpose ascribed to the appraisal remedy will influence the application of these valuation methods and principles. / Mercantile Law / LL.M. (Corporate law)
