Extensive use is made of electronic data bases, financial forecasting and graphics to aid in the analysis and presentation of complex financial and technical information. Conclusions are summarized in oral or written reports tailored to the client's particular needs. The Appraisal Associates’s experts have valued a number of companies and their properties, participated in actual sale negotiations and given formal court testimony.
