Madison Street Capital has extensive experience in multiple forms of share-based compensation as they relate to specific valuation methods – including stock options, restricted stock, phantom stock, stock warrants, and other complex structures – and in measuring the cost of these incentives in financial statements. Based on the structure in place for each client, we rely on highly sophisticated quantitative tools in modeling potential share values, ranging from binominal lattices and modified Black-Scholes option pricing models, to Monte Carlo price path simulations and other forms of probability-based financial modeling.

We have broad experience in providing formal opinions of value calculated through our proprietary methods and prepared according to FAS 123(R), as well as reconciling FAS 123(R) to IRC 409(A). Our services also include providing reviews and commentary on client-prepared models, data, and conclusions, as well as preparing transparent and verifiable model inputs for multiple scenarios such as early exercise, termination, retirement probabilities, and annual volatility.
