ABSTRACT The case for Le Beau Footwear, which is based on actual events, examines the financial and legal decisions concerning a privately held Canadian retailer whose leased premises and entire inventory were destroyed by a suspicious fire in 1990. The focus of the case is on determining the monetary value of the lost profits that resulted from the insurer's delays in paying the indemnified amount. Within this context, this case provides a rich and comprehensive example of the application of the accounting return on investment (ROI) and the market-based opportunity cost of capital (OCC) techniques for valuation of a privately held firm. Further, the case demonstrates a sharp example of applying the results from previous studies of initial public offering (IPO) and small firm effect to make valuation adjustments that reflect the retailer's private ownership status and its small size. This case is intended for use in advanced accounting and finance courses in M.B.A., M.S. in Accountancy, and M.S. in Finance programs.

The method adopted for pricing in an Initial Public Offering is a key issue in the studies on business valuation. In particular, various researches sought to verify which valuation methodologies are preferable in the context of an initial public offering. The review of the main literature shows that Discounted Cash Flow, Market Multiples, Dividend Discount Model and, even if just to some degree, Economic Value Added are the most popular methodologies in the valuation practice. The comparison among different valuation methods, proposed in the literature and variously applied in national and international practices, reveals the necessity to pay more attention to valuation mechanisms that drive the pricing of the shares to be listed. The topic is linked to the ever more pertinent debate on the use of different methods in professional practice: financial experts and analysts tend, in fact, to compare results according to different estimates.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to focus on mutual funds’ valuations of their US private firm holdings. According to extant academic literature, mutual funds’ boards of directors should assign prices to their private firm stocks based on their own determination of fair value. Design/methodology/approach This study investigates fluctuations in valuations of mutual funds holdings of private firms, and whether or not mutual funds managers are able to pick privately held firms that eventually undergo an initial public offer. Findings The study shows that private firm common stocks’ prices fluctuate much more than preferred stocks’; however, as expected, preferred stock is the most selected security type. This study also investigates these firms’ propensity to undergo an initial public offering (IPO). Results show that mutual funds allocated most of their capital to US private sector firms that underwent an initial public offering. Logit model results reveal that fund managers are able to pick privately held firms that will go public. Research limitations/implications Due to data limitations, the authors’ analysis does not control for venture capital ownership; an issue the authors plan to address in the future. Originality/value Though, research in this area may exist, the authors have not found academic literature related to holdings of private firms by mutual funds, pricing by funds’ boards of directors or the motives for such investments.
